with extra speed comes extra acceleration.......
try it for yourself and see how it goes.....
as for years racing.....let me reword that, what other cars or classes have you run??
also what ratio are you thinking of running???
I have tested it a fair few times before. That is simply not the case.
Again I don't know why you are asking about my experience in rc racing. I'm not asking you to post up your experience because it doesn't matter.
I will be dropping the ratio to a 2.25:1 for the blinky car next.
Here is a real life example for you. Have you driven a manual car before?
Put the car in 1st gear and accelerate.
Put the car in 4th gear and accelerate.
The car in 4th gear will not accelerate as fast as in 1st gear. But it will hit a much higher top speed. Try spin the wheels in 1st and try spin the wheels in 4th. It is much harder in 4th gear.
You will find that a cars 1st gear ratio is around 3.1
4th gear ratio is typically close to 1:1
