To beat the nitros, drive better.

Power delivery is the main thing.. my track is hard packed and bumpy. I simply cant put that much power down... throttle control and finesse are you friends with overly torquey cars. but being able to do the "over the top" pass on a nitro over a triple is always fun

yup. and boy is there torque. 11t pinion and the ferris wheel spur of the X1-CRT makes fer some interesting times. Most especially for the drivetrain.

My old cen matrix did that one better.. 66t spur gear.

sorry for the OT

i saw on of those old x1 crt's at the track recently. what is with that huge spur gear?? is there an advantage to that?

I have no clue. Maybe it's to help with the engine temps and to make it quick out of the corners.

I think with the exception of the Cen BB16 was talking about, it's one of the bigger spur gears out there. I think the next closest one is a 56 or 58.

they had buggy diffs and needed the huge spur for proper gear reduction IIRC

another ferris wheel. talk about a gearing nightmare.
