Lightbulb moment! That makes very good sense. Thank you.
I've only run 64P onroad - I'm a TC guy and TC pinions and spurs don't seem as susceptible to debris (rocks) as pan car designs, so what brand 48P gears do you recommend? I'm using an IRS axle with a xenon spur? now and the diff ring seems small. Will running larger (diameter) spur gears (48P versus 64P) mean that i'll need larger diff rings?
