A larger pinion gear (the one on the motor) and a small spur gear will give you to end speed. While a small pinion with a larger spur will give you more acceleration. As for the ratios to use depends on the track I would use the standard 2 speed and a just the shift point to suit. Hope this helps

Thanks guys..
Another little question.. Can u adjust the shift point on the FW05S clutch? The guy i bought it from said no, but on my Cen CT4S u can, and when i mentioned the little adjusting holes i dont think he even knew they existed.
Thanks
