RE: mugen mbx5 prospec gearing options?????
Posible options:
clutch:
13, 14, 15 or 16 teeth
spur gear:
44 teeth (C0274)
46 teeth (C0259) stock
48 teeth (E0218)
bevel gear:
12 teeth (C0211) stock
11 teeth (C0273)
conical gear:
38 teeth (C0272)
40 teeth (C0258) stock
now you have the option to adjust gear ratio:
spur gear / clutch = gear ratio
lower numbers = more top speed
higher numbers = more acceleration
44/16 = 2.75
46/16 = 2.875
44/15 = 2.9333
48/16 = 3
46/15 = 3.06666
44/14 = 3.1428
48/15 = 3.2
46/14 = 3.286
44/13 = 3.384
48/14 = 3.42
46/13 = 3.538
48/13 = 3.69
same with front/rear diff gearing:
38/12 = 3.166666
40/12 = 3.333333 (stock)
38/11 = 3.454545
40/11 = 3.636363
it can be used to adjust under/oversteering.
smaller number in front = more understeering
smaler number in rear = more oversteering
and vice versa...

RE: mugen mbx5 prospec gearing options?????
thanks man. that is really helpful! so from what your saying basically the best option for low end power would be a 48t spur and a 13t bell....correct?

Yes, it will probably be overkill and make the car twitchy on even the highest grip surfaces.
try the standard spur gear with the 13t Cbell before you try all the other extremes.

But there is also 11, 12 and 17 tooth bells available too.
