This particular car with the gearbox set up has a pinion, crown, spur, spur , on different planes .
The crown is a nine tooth and the next drive is a 17tooth which is stock. Options for a 16 and 18 tooth are available.
The stock gearing gives a 2.97 : 1 gear ratio which is as close to 3 : 1 as you will get .
The motor is a 25k and very spunky, lots of torque and brakes. To run with your other F1 cars such as Scalex Legends or Fly which are 3:1 with 18 k stock motors can be an issue.
BUT,, good news is that the pod will accept a scaley or fly stock motor. Just be sure to use the original pinion as it is apparently not the same as scaley and fly, which could damage the rest of the drivetrain.
My friend has had his tuned and it runs like a scalded cat, He changed thenmotor to a scaley and it handles so much better than his brass chassis F1's , he thinks the pod system with gears may be the way to scratch build some of these sleek cars.
If anyone has an issue with the car which you shouldnt , then check the slot it site for good instructions on it.
