It's going to? It sounds like you're saying all spec racing TC's need 40T. At least, Serpent doesn't offer 40T (not even sure how many teeth the pulley has TBH) conversion.

I get that but my question is do you know for sure that it is fast because of 40T conversion? If that's the case, why wouldn't the other companies offer 40T, or is there?? Has Yokomo been winning all stock races all around the world then?

I don't think mugen would of shot themselves in the back with making a car just for mod u know seeing as it doesn't have the 40t conversion you said that would of make the car fast right .

I wasn't knocking on the car, it's on my to buy list. This thing probably went into manufacturing production before yokomo made a switch back to 40t with internal gearing of 2.0 instead of the 1.7 ratio. The 1.7 ratio in stock racing we had to run slightly larger spur than usual to get the needed FDR for stock racing. There's other added benefits with using the 40T. Anyways I don't think they shot themselves in the foot, the 34t is still decent, truth be told if they decide to go with 40t it will give the car more tuning options. The earlier pictures of the mtc had yokomo belts also.

The teeth count on the front and rear pulley. Stock comes with 34T pulley which is really small and probably work best in boosted stock or modify class.
When you increase the pulley size your have more torque transfer to the wheels which makes it easier to rocket out of turns.

Their spool&diff arrangement gives very easy option to change pulley sizes. One small - identical - plastic part from and rear. No need to design (and have people buy) a whole new spool / diff casing.

You don't get any more torque once the pinion/spur is selected to give the same FDR. The reason larger belt gears are advantageous in spec classes is because the belts don't bend as sharply, which improves efficiency. The more the belt flexes, the more energy is lost as friction and heat.
Belts not needing to bend that extreme sorta make sense, but not sure how significant the effect would be. I guess the results from the yokomo speaks for itself :shrugs:
