Default RE: ]§[ Official Team VTX ST1 Thread ]§[


ORIGINAL: gwaller

It is some what of a strange design, but we do have a lower CG with the 11 tooth bell. Our spur gear is 49 teeth, where like on a jammin the spur is sixty something. That diff is a lot higher off the chassis then ours. Our engines are made by Go Racing, Team VTX and Vertex engines are not the same company totally different.

Thanks

Greg...by no means am I trying to down your product, however...

you may have a lower CG with the 11t bell, but you could have the SAME CG with a 14t bell that won't stress the bearings as much if you went down to a 10t pinion in the diffs like the other modern truggies have done. I, personally, just feel that you could have opened the door to using more standardized parts so potential customers could use parts that are already in their parts boxes, instead of having to buy special stuff just because you decide to use an oddball clutchbell.
