Default RE: Gearing braintwister

ORIGINAL: sleepy23

i'd like to do some tests. of course these would be waiting in line just as is my testing of the super light weight tranny i built. i want to test the almost stock t4 tranny i have versus the parts i bought versus the one i made.

when i find some time i feel like crunching the numbers, i will do an average of what 1 gram difference in rotating mass translates into in rolling resistance ( i have a spreedsheet for that, but its on my hobby computer)
Heck, we can speculate each other to death until then, so no hurry!

Do you think the eagletree can tell us the difference (if any) in torque, top speed, etc.? If there is a small difference, it just might be one more thing to help someone who is racing in a very competitive situation, or someone going for a speed record, or whatever. If nothing else, as speed said, it'll take our minds off some of the more common questions for a bit!
