Guys looking for assistance if you have done this. I purchased the Rovan electric conversion from Feerless RC. I am wondering what you use for support under the motor. Also what is the correct adjustment from spur gear to pinion gear. Thanks for the help.
 
To answer your mesh question, cut a strip of paper and let's the gears draw it in. You want the gears to crinkle the paper without tearing it, if it tears the mesh is too tight.

Thank you for that
 
too loose - more gear wear, maybe stripped gears. too tight - binding, load on motor, damaged gears. you want just enough back and forth gear play so it won't bind at any point in the gears' rotation (if it rocks back and forth just a little you're prob ok).

if im not mistaken i think the paper trick only works well on 1.0 pitch gears?
i stopped using it after i got a feel for it

It's been the go too method for setting all rc gears thay arnt super fine as long as I can remember. At some point you stop using the paper, but everyone did use paper at some point.
