KDE Direct: Slant Gears Coming Soon For Trex 550/600/700 Sizes

It’s been a long-time coming, but the KDE Direct Slant Main Drive Gears are almost here and ready now for Pre-Sale (Estimated Shipping Date: 07/31). These are the absolute strongest and quietest gears available for the ALIGN series, and they won’t last long. No more worries about stripped gears, even under the highest-performance loads of the KDE700XF-495 motor, and we’re confident these are the gears you will want and love to fly. Get them online now before they’re sold out for this initial-production run:

SLANT MAIN DRIVE GEAR, 112T, MOD1.0, HD FOR ALIGN TREX 700 SERIES HELICOPTERS

Item Number: AT700-MDGM1-HDS
Price: $38.95

Material: Nylatron Proprietary Type 66 Polyamide
Models: all ALIGN TREX 700E (V1/V2/DFC) and 700N/800 E-Conversion series (replaces stock Align
part #H70020B). This gear is not recommended for the TREX 550/600 series helicopters and the
reduced-height version of the slant gear (KDE Direct TREX 550/600/700 Series Slant Main Drive Gear,
112T, MOD 1.0) is recommended for those setups to achieve optimal fit and performance.

Recommended Accessories:
KDE DIRECT TREX 700E UNIVERSAL MOTOR MOUNT AND PINION SUPPORT

Important Notice: due to tolerance variability with the stock TREX 700E (V1/V2/DFC) motor mount and frames, it is
recommended to also install the KDE Direct TREX 700E Universal Motor Mount and Pinion Support upgrade to provide the
ability for optimal gear mesh adjustability.

Note: the new Slant Main Drive Gear Heavy-Duty series is precision CNC-machined from a proprietary Nylatron
MoS2-Filled Type 66 Polyamide, one of the best materials available today for polymer gears and the perfect match for an
extremely strong, smooth running, and durable power transmission for the TREX 700E series helicopters. The gear is
composed of 112 teeth, utilizing the metric MOD1.0 tooth standard for incredible strength. Through months of testing, the
gear has been optimized to include numerous design features for optimum performance, including:

(1) Increased gear height to 12 mm (stock is 10 mm) for increased strength and contact surface area.
(2) The tooth involute profile has been optimized through numerous design iterations for increased tooth engagement and
strength, providing an incredibly quiet and durable gear for a MOD1.0 power train.
(3) Weight was reduced through FEA optimizations of the machining pattern to significantly reduce weight, while
maintaining full strength of a solid-gear profile.
(4) The self-lubricating properties of the proprietary MoS2-Filled Type 66 Polyamide material provides exceptional wear
and noise properties, providing a gear that can withstand the harsh nature of hardcore 3D flight.

Includes:
- One (1) TREX 700 Series Slant Main Drive Gear, 112T, MOD1.0, Heavy-Duty

Finish:
Precision CNC-machined, Nylatron Proprietary MoS2-Filled Type 66 Polyamide

Weight:
55 g (design is FEA optimized for maximum strength and minimum weight)
