Don't mean to jack thread, but this is related.

Why don't RC guys just go by overall gear ratio? For instance my Tranny is 2.727:1 and If I run a 58 spur and a 15 tooth pinion my overall is 10.54:1

I see guys with buggys and all they list is the spur and pinion and seem to neglect to mention the ring and pinion in the Diff. which is around 3:1 in most of the ones I have been able to find info on. Or a monster truck with a transmission, ring and pinion in the diff and a spur and pinion, Is it you guys just know or what? I always see people say you are geared too high (numerically low), but all that is given is spur and pinion.
