Looking for opinions on these patterns. Setting up a 11.5 AAM with Nitro gears. Backlash was 5-7 thous for each pattern below.
I went with the 54 thousands pattern and took her down the road, but I was getting whine under load or acceleration only. Decel was dead quiet. I'm thinking that means pinion depth is too shallow so I started increasing depth but I'm not getting a clean pattern off these gears. I took a major jump from 63 to 75 just as a sanity check, which shows too deep.
I'm leaning towards the 60 thous.
Edit:
Added coast sides
