Thanx gentlemen- I'm at a loss as to why the same gearing on two similar buggies with the same motor don't give similar results. This thing would climb well with the 26t, my wife was/is upset that it's too fast for the kids. So in an attempt to slow it down I changed the drive sprocket-12t down to a 11t, still too fast (my wifes opinion) , I put the 31t on and run it with the Spiderbox (Yerf gearing 12t & 31t)- Punisher steadly pulled away. We had another drag race today with the 37t and it still pulls away from the Yerf, Her motor is the same only newer, exact same transmission gearing, the tires on both buggies are the same diameter, I'm heavier than my wife, the Punisher is heavier and it still runs faster
I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but could someone please explain this to me.
Monday I'm going to vid the kids in a drag race.
