the interesting part is the gearing and how final rollout (gear ratio) effects the engine and its power production . the 32 pitch gears we use for 1/8th scale have a pretty broad spread from one gear to the next so it is a little harder to dial in then a 10th scale is . a lot of thought has been put in to the gear ratios on the 8th scale vehicles before they have been released to the public and is usually pretty darn good :nod: some buggys have different ring/pinion gear ratios (associated uses truggy gears) and that lets you use large clutch bells with more gears on them , good concept? seems to work fairly well ;)


we are all fools ;) :rolleyes::lol:

i for one would love to tap into the vast amount of friction materials that are out there and apply them to our rc vehicle clutch shoes :nod: impulse rc;)

two cents worth and just a ramble :p

Hi.

Year, I know you are the expert. I'm not trying to say anything else :)

Here is the gearings you can make on a XRAY buggy:

As you can see, the steps are really small when it comes to bell/center diff ratio.

Cheers

Cool Monty :D

Another question:

Is the 41005 shorter than a 41021 header?
What about he 41001?
... Or is it just the shape that makes the difference?

I would like to try a header, that is approximate 1 cm shorter than th 41021.

Cheers

Hey Monty, I got an unusual problem w/ my Toro. A few races ago it went crazy rich in the middle of a race and couldn't figure out why. Had a new TKO front bearing put in and had it pinched while it was apart figured it couldn't hurt. Last week I was letting my dad run it, and during his race it did the same thing. It was so rich and happened so abruptly, I at first thought the throttle linkage was getting hung up and not opening all the way. I ended up leaning the top 2 full turns to get it to get on the pipe. It ran fine for the rest of the race, came off the track at like 210 or so, and still a little fat. Any idea what could have caused it.
