That could depend on how aggressive the gearing is.

You must be using a small pinion.

Just to be clear, the pinion is the input and the spur receives said input. :roll:

Pinions don't go into spurs, they are both similar contributors to final drive ratio. The size of both are equally important in that determination. I identify with the bigger gear. :mrgreen:

Today I received what's technically a Manta Ray :lol:
It is a Lee Broadhurst built car, a similar spec to the Manta Rays Craig Drescher and Jamie Booth are running. A mix of Tamiya Manta Ray gearcases and diffs, LBRC chassis, shock towers, arms and gears. Custom RC Parts alloy upgrades, Willspeed steering arms, and some vintage Tamiya upgrades. Just got to sort out a set of shocks, for it and a new body and wing.

That's awesome! Not your usual Tamiya offering....

It appears to have some Schumacher-ey bits as well (ball cups, rear tower support).
