The wise one answers:
Yes in theory, a bigger spur gear will create less top speed and more torque and vice versa. Pinion gear size is the opposite so a smaller pinion will create less top speed. Remember though that top speed comes at the expense of acceleration and a hot motor with less turns will have less torque than higher turn motors and is easier to "overgear" when this happens changing to a bigger spur and/or smaller pinion will actually make your car go better and last longer because it can rev harder and is no overcome by the gearing of the car! And breathe.... |
