They are set up properly when they don't whine. F the ".11 backlash".

RE: 7.5 gear installation help
Richmond gears - very strong but they will whine. They are racing gears, straight cut, and you can ease the whine but not get rid of it - whine doesn't matter in an all out drag car, but they are a pain for a daily driver (considering swapping mine for motive or FRPP if I can find some). It isn't in the set up, it is the nature of Richmond gears.
