nbcaznmaster, your Revo looks worlds better without the cardboard. :cool: Aside from the gearing, the added weight from the Al vs cardboard may also have something to do with no wheelies though.

Speaking of gearing; given a gear ratio, what is the advantage of using a larger spur/pinion vs smaller spur/pinion? I mean instead of using 70/19, why not 51/13 (or 14)? The ratio is [about] the same. The only advantage I could think of using larger spur/pinion would be the fact that more teeth are in contact at any one point due to the decreased curvature at the point of spur/pinion contact.
