broke the shaft on my align motor and was thinking of going with a century motor but did not know which one to use and what pinion.

Century does not make a motor with a high enough Kv for the T600 with the stock 6s LiPo setup. A Neu Motors 1515/2.5D/H with an 11t pinion (10t for more flight time) is the best choice.

You could use a 600A-1110 with a 12t pinion but you will have to upgrade to a 8s LiPo and new high voltage ESC.

How many teeth are there in the T600 maingear?

What battery packs do you want to use?

The T600 has a 170 tooth main gear but its Mod 0.7 so Swift gears won’t work. Align pinions are 10t and 11t but there are some aftermarket that make larger pinions.

With the stock ESC you run a 6s LiPo in the 4800-6000 range.


The other restriction is that the T600 has a very narrow motor compartment – Motors like the Neu 1900 series won’t fit unless you modify the frame.

go to ready heli or amain and you can get pinions up to 18 from mikado or 17 tooth from revco.
that should be enough gear, but the 600a is underpowered for that heli unless you just looking for sedate power.i have 1907 in one of mine on 8s that is awesome and the 1910 on 10 s in another, it's insane.

the 650a 565 kv on 12 s is awseome have 2 of those setups.or the 650a 800 kv on 8 or 10 s should be good aswell,abuddy of mine has the 650a 800kv on 10s and it performes well.and they are a very effeciant motor.heliworld has a sale on power combo's right now,motor,esc and bec for 229.00.
