And finally .0325 PS .006-.007 BL. This one kicked my ass as well, 2.5hrs of dicking around with the shims.

What I have learned so far is, 2-cut gears read SOOO much better than 5-cut gears. But they are also MADDENINGLY finicky about carrier shim changes. The 2-cut gears move wayyyy faster with a smaller change, so that’s been frustrating to work with. Especially with the shim set I have.

So far, the .036 reads the best to me

Did 2 more setups today. I think .038 and .036 are the best to my eye

Whatcha think @legopnuematic? I'm leaning toward .036 and maybe open the backlash up a tad. It seems to have the smoothest engagement

36 or 38 look pretty good, but I would take that with a grain of salt as I have not messed with 2 cut gears yet. I know they read a little different than 5 cut do.

38 looks to show the “bias” well

Ok, looking at that and also talking with a guy on the gear install FB page, .038 seems to be the ticket. It shows that nice diamond shape dead center of the tooth.

Admittedly, I'm a bit gun shy at this point to pick one lol

I contacted Revolution to see if they were willing to take a look at some patterns and give some insight. They called me within 15min, awesome customer service! They echoed everyone else, the .038 looked best to them. He said realistically, the .034, 0.36 and .038 all could be run without issue but they liked the .038 best. So I guess today/tomorrow I'm gonna button it up and pray



I did throw the .038 back in last night with the same shim pack I had before. This time I racked the gears back and forth a bit harder before getting a reading and BL was at .005-.0055 all around. I also had to make up some more gear paint, I guess I mixed it a little different and the pattern looked different but the guy at Revolution still said they looked fine. At this point I'm just super gun shy and over thinking things but I can still kinda see the diamond pattern so I'm gonna run it I guess
