I agree, changing pitch should not change torque... this is just a gearing thing and you should be able to convert 48P to 64P numbers.

Have you guys run 64P reliably now?

I'd like my TC3 to run smoother, just because I play a lot at night time, in a churchyard, and don't want to wake up the priest or the nunns.

Anyway, I'm looking for ways to quiet my TC3. Thanks!

I've run 64 pitch in ever car I have. My xray has had the same spur gear on it for the last 2 years and it looks hardly worn (Kimbrough 128 tooth 64 pitch)

My xray sounds like a rocket with a 7 single in it.

If you decide to switch to 64 pitch, you'll just have to make the investment of many pinions to adjust your gear ratio's and rollout.

Enjoy, don't have the nuns come running after you.
