the interesting part is the gearing and how final rollout (gear ratio) effects the engine and its power production . the 32 pitch gears we use for 1/8th scale have a pretty broad spread from one gear to the next so it is a little harder to dial in then a 10th scale is . a lot of thought has been put in to the gear ratios on the 8th scale vehicles before they have been released to the public and is usually pretty darn good some buggys have different ring/pinion gear ratios (associated uses truggy gears) and that lets you use large clutch bells with more gears on them , good concept? seems to work fairly well


we are all fools

i for one would love to tap into the vast amount of friction materials that are out there and apply them to our rc vehicle clutch shoes impulse rc

two cents worth and just a ramble
