Why would I need a lot of pinions, if I'm correct (don't know a lot about electric so I could be terribly wrong) there is a certain ideal ratio for a single track with a given speedo/motor combination?

Since I'm planning to only drive the car at my hometrack I'm guessing I only need to find the perfect ratio once, or is the ideal ratio affected by grip level or outdoor temperatures?

Added traction stuff to the list, tomorrow we have the national electric championship at the hometrack so I can inform which one to use.

Do I also need a set of tire blankets/heater?
