Is it right that the lower the turn the more torque you get and hence the less top speed? If thats so then surely the gearing needs to compliment the motor choice so as not to under or over balance the mix?
I think that makes sense?! Does it?
The best thing to do, is first figure out what class you want to run. If you want to run in your track's stock class, figure out what the motor limit is. Probably a 17.5 or a 13.5... they also might have limitations on whether or not you can run timing. If you plan on running mod and are at that level... then you should already know what motor you need to be running... or ask a mod guy at your track what they typically run. Usually 8.5 or 10.5
