Gearing Question?

[Bryson]

Ok I just went out and burned some nitro for the first time in forever. It felt good to just smell the smoke again. So anyway. My question is. I'm thinking of heading out to Revelations this weekend to do some track time. I belive its a tight track so I want to regear and add my center diff to elimante the speed wheelies. When the number of teeth go's down on gearing it makes more low end right. When the number of teeth gos' up it makes for more top end correct. I'm curently running stock which is 16/38(I think) and am thinking of going to 14/36 for more low end on a tight track. Any oppions on this. Thanks for the help.

Less teeth on the spur will make it go up.

Less teeth on the spur will make it go up.

As in faster, So i should go to a 40 for low end? Thanks guys.

Chances are you won't want to change both.
When I had the Tmaxx, going from the stock 72 to a 70 on the spur was really super for the track I was running on. Going to a 66T (Emaxx spur) the top end was intense, but it took a long time to get there, so it was a very poor choice where I was running.
You need to try each new ratio and determine what gearing will work best for you on that particular track.
You don't want to be screaming at high RPM and wishing you could get more speed out of it either.

I raced at a ocal track that is short and tight I used 15/40 and worked very well. Hard to give advice on gearing tough.
