How is my gear tooth contact pattern?

[gpfj40]

This is my first attempt at R&P set up. This is a 9.5 full float rear from a 80 series getting 4.88 nitro gears and a yukon zip locker.

Does does the pattern look ok? Any advice?

Pinon bearing preload is 12 in lb, backlash is .008.

Looks a bit shallow but getting close. I would move the pinion deeper by .003 and check again

You're getting there! Agree ^^^

How is this?
I added .008 of pinion depth. The backlash is .007 and the pinion preload is 12 inlb.

Looks good I am kinda surprised it took .008, that's a long ways in the gear world.

That's pretty darn good, install it.
