Why two gears? Less resistance or more oil capacity?

I was told less turbulence in the oil, more oil, so less hydro lock. I have not tried it yet.

Thinking of getting a Reedy Blackbox or LRP Flow Works Team?

I want to hear your experiences.

I don't want to hear about Orion or HW or any other speedo please.

Thank You!

Does anyone have a picture of this mod for the B inserts? I'm not sure since I'm new to AE.

I need to fine tune now.

Thanks!

I tried that. I lost tons of rear traction. I have put the 4 gear back in, but haven't had time to confirm that it was the tranny switch that made the traction go away, although my traction loss occurred at the same time as the switch.
Note: I didn't make any other setup changes when I made the switch, so that may have been related to my problem, also.

When you click the link the URL says "phantom". It's actually the new Predator body.

While the "look" of a wing might be stupid to discuss..the wing looks the same as the one that comes with the Phantom body, IMO they're HIDEOUS looking! I threw mine away.
