Ill try and put pic up . can anyone tell me why they built this car with an internal ratio of 1.71 when most other manufactures try to get as close as possible to 2.0
Donīt the spur gear hit the motor screw? I like the idea of the spur gear in the middle instead but that needs a little bit more fiddling.
