so since u run a mtx3 and a evo 2 your recomendation with be worth gold, but on the 1.0 gears and the 0.8 gears which do u like? i see that the mugen drivers use the .8
my total track size should be more like 500-700 feet i geuss but still i need to get up to speed which i am not the current time. do u know what the stock r40 and g4 gearing is? those are my major competition at the track?
Actually the 0.8 modules allow you to make finer steps in gearing, but they have limits when you need shorter gearing. The 1.0 modules make bigger steps between gears, but allow you to get shorter gearings, which would be more adecuate for your track conditions.
The reason top drivers from Mugen use the 0.8 modules is because most top level competition is done over large flowing tracks, and they make better use of the larger gearing possibilties.
The other technological reason is that 0.8 modules are a little bit smaller, so they give you a tad more acceleration because there is less centrifugal mass to move, but that isn't noticeable but by the best pros of the hobby.
The use of one module system over the other depends if you can build your gearing equally with both systems, than I'd go with 0.8 modules, but if you can't get the right gearing with them you must go with 1.0 modules.
