Can someone confirm/correct my understanding of motor gearing...
I ran an MVP last week in my Mission with a 22pinion (86 spur & 20 layshaft gear). My understanding is that if I wanted to run an RPM based motor such as a Monster Stock I would use a smaller pinion so it can rev (up to 3 teeth lower) so a 19/20? And again for a motor with more torque such as a P2k2 I would use more teeth (up by 1 or 2) so a 23/24?
My last challenge of the day is putting the following in order (RPM down to Torque);
Monster Stock
Orion Core
Peak Hellfire
MVP
P2k2
