I also doubt anyone would go for it. Just seems like an elegant solution instead of spending loads of time testing multiple equiptment combos and rule changes to accomplish the goal of slowing the cars down.
Still wondering if anyone has tried it and how it affected lap times...

ok guys just som I'm clear on gearing i run the 2cell/21.5 novak combo...
it says i have to gear my car between 4.2 and 4.6...
4.2 is more top end and 4.6 is more bottom end correct?

Correct... The lower the numerical number the more top end you'll have and the higher the numerical number the more bottom end you'll have....

The problem with all of the powertrain combos is that we wanted to implement the technology that is more convenient and reliable without forcing everyone to go out and buy new gear. If nimh and brushed motors were still the pinnacle of technology, then we wouldnt be worried about all of the differrent powertrains being compatible. Frankly Im glad I can step up with just the purchase of a 21.5, even though Im running 4/27 in my VTA setup.

I understand and I have wondered myself how a field of 2WD cars would look running the VTA style gear.

HPI or someone like that could answer that for us. They could make Wheel/tire combos that would fit the WGT chassis and have the Vintage look. Its just that it cost so much to develop that and theres no guarantee of a return on the investment. MLP has adapters to run the VTA tires and wheels on the 200mm pan chassis.

I thought the way he'd gone at it was to make a pan car that mounted TC suspension components, that's how he got the HPI Vintage tires and wheels to mount up. I don't believe I've seen any sort of "adapter" for fitting the TC wheels to pan car hubs (rear) and axles (front).
