If you have a plastic spur, century and thunder tiger make mod1 pinions for their helis (go down to 9t) but they are not hardened. I think Novak has "hardened" pinions now in 11t, maybe even 10t.

Wow an 11T Mod1, now that is a freaking tiny Mod 1 pinion - that might work. Just guessing here but I would say that since I am only seeing 10K RPM, I need to go way down on the gearing and since the motor didn't seem to even break a sweat, I might be able to ditch the heat sink.
