It was a small twisty track last night, the car was starting to move at the end of the straight so that's what made me wonder about the smaller pinion. The thing that was amusing was the kit built diff, I hadn't got around to sorting that. If it was a real car I'd have expected to see smoke filling up the front wheel arches on exiting corners!
