Rotor Gear Locking
Essential for any high rpm or high boost application, locking your rotary gears provides optimal reliability and strength. The factory rotary gears are retained with either a 9 or 12 spring steel roll pins. All of the pre-1985 rotors utilize only nine pins and become the more likely candidates to suffer from "gear walking". Even though the 1986 and later rotors utilize three more spring pins for a total of 12 pins, we have seen "gear walking" in several instances.
Gear Walking is a condition where the rotor gear gradually pulls away from the body of the rotor under heavy load or high rpm conditions. REC has developed a method to reliably retain these gears in their intended position restricting them from ever walking away from the rotor.
The other benefit when performing this modification is that the gear can be easily removed and reinstalled after REC has performed the initial work. The factory design of the "press fit" and spring pin retained gear is very difficult to remove and special equipment is required. In short, we remove the old design, transform to our design and the gear can be either service or replaced in the future using conventional hand tools.
