But not everyone subscribes to the awsome RCM forums or similar. It does seem that simple to some people (especially here), but these products are available in rtr kits which may have recomendations for that particular setup but for those who are going to up grade or make a conversion may be doing so on the assumption that there car can do x-mph with out any insight to the finer points.

I'm not saying that the majority of people are stupid, just the a portion need more information when making such a decision. Doing calcs on Brians calc sheet will not give a temperature analysis (of course it's impossible) so a power to weight to gearing ratio might give a starting piont.

As stated by Castle the people on this forum are likely to push the boundaries of any given running gear so a beginer (i don't like to think I am but when I get on this forum it is apparent to me) one might get the wrong idea on what's a 'BULLET PROOF' system.

Don't get me wrong I know there's no 'BULLET PROOF' system but everyone wants something that won't leave them sidelined and/or out of pocket
