Default Ofna 9.5 Gearing Question...


I have a new Ofna 9.5 Pro with an Ofna Hyper 8port w/o ps

The kit was supposed to come with a 14t clutchbell and I got a 13t bell

I did a review of some other 21 motors on NITROREVIEW.COM (huge database of motors, kits, etc - specs too) and found the Hyper 8port to have the best HP numbers of over 10 other 21 motors I was looking at

I want to know what changing the gearing will do to the buggy on the track More than just acceleration and topspeed common sense.

Please post any comments...

Most people will tell you that HP in these engines mean nothing. As far as your gearing, it wont make that much of a noticeable difference other than what you stated. You will have a little more punch on the bottom and and a little less top end speed, not sure if it will even be noticeable

What would I notice if the gearing is too tall (clutchbell too big)?
