Test Results (gearing)



What I'm making of this is just that each cars characteristics seem to affect which gearing will be fastest, and affect it by such a small amount it is almost negligible. I would have to believe that having a 5th or 6th gear with a 1:1 ratio would make for better top end acceleration, while having a diff with a 4:1 ratio would positively effect lower speed acceleration, and many times AWDA’s gearboxes are half way between. This means no 1:1 gear as is traditional, but it does mean a pretty even acceleration through the gears, and in some cases (hopefully most) provides the best times. I will probably adjust some of the gearboxes, though not all.
