3D PRO Hummer, Whats the gear pitch?
I called Century the other day and asked them what pitch the pinion/main gear was on the new 3D PRO, They told me they had no idea, they are made in Taiwan and they dont give us that information.
So I am asking you.
48 pitch would probably work but is it really? maybe .5 mod?????
any help would be great.

On a side note, helihobby has a couple 3D PRO's in stock with the motor and ESC for $199, I ordered one Monday.

It's 0.5 module on my Hummingbird Elite CP, and I think the 3D uses the same gear.

48p and 0.5 mdulus are not the same. The Pro has 0.5 modulus gears.
