Mini gear issues / questions

[Phantomforever]

No offense.. red red clay 1/4 mile banked like I’ve never seen before on the scale from 1-10 I’d say 10 + LOL a typhoon came through 5 minutes after setting the tent up we didn’t get a chance to get one it .. maybe a good thing

Clone heavy 390#

The 17/62 advise was for which class and weight

17/62 sounds like a small 1/4 track. We used to run a local stock car track and ran 17/62 with the flatheads and an 18 or 19 with animals depending on where the racing line ended up (typically at the very bottom of the track clear down on the flat in the corners.) We had small rear sprockets back then (Rocket Sprocket Accelerator series) and found the larger gears faster on large tracks. Again, that was with the flathead...that said, I understand the results with the ohv engines vary today. I'd look at a similar ratio, (14/51) then move 2 teeth from there and see if you picked up any lap time. That seems to be the current trend anyway.

Are you on a clone or a Flathead… I did not see an advantage on a Flathead so we only run the standard gears on a Flathead … with the clone I am usually 3 teeth lower on the clutch driver with the mini gears..
