I officially stand corrected, and appologize for making a fool of myself.
I just chatted with a LONG LONG LONG time AE sponsored racer and he agreed with your statement!
Larger spure equals quicker acceleration Smaller spur gear equals more top end!
Back in the day with RM I was fighting excessive wheel spin coming out of the corners and a guy said to put a larger spur gear on it, didn't do anything with gearing it moved the motor back giving more traction!!!
I stand corrected and will adjust my knowledge base accordingly!
Maybe that's why we run the smallest spur we can get our hands on in oval!
