I'm wondering, does it? I've been aware of this "smaller gear set" idea for a while and have mentioned it several times. I'll be interested in what kind of responses you get. Thanks for the post.Im seeing these mini gear setups more and more lately and wondering what’s everyone’s thoughts on them. Kind of throws the largest driver possible theory out the window!
Smaller gear sets. 11/44 = 4.0 12/48 = 4.0interested, first I've heard of this, what is it exactly?
Kind of a crazy setup. Super small front driver with rear gears in the 30’s and 40’s.interested, first I've heard of this, what is it exactly?

Depends on the track to run and the ratios they require. Take a good look at your gear ratio chart before making a move.Ahh man ! Now I'm gonna have to buy all new stuff.
Well then, that proved me wrong lol. Thanks
LOL,I only know about them because a friend of mine uses them. They're not very well known I don't believe.Well then, that proved me wrong lol. Thanks
Not so fast....I believe they have a place but not everywhere you race. I can see the benefits on really small tracks or anywhere you may have a high rpm drop in the corners,somewhere there are long straightaways but really tight corners.Ahh man ! Now I'm gonna have to buy all new stuff.
Yeah. That's what I see too. Less chain length/mass as well as the sprocket mass. Smaller diameter helps too.I was told it was all about friction and rotating mass. Smaller gears less tooth contact and most of all a much shorter chain. It all adds up.
