Gearbox Ratios

Recommended Posts

How do all

 

I think this may have already been talked about in previous topics, if so im sorry and can you point me in the right direction.

 

I have spoken today with Garry from Puma Racing about gear ratios and cwp for my hillclimb 205 next year, he said that as far as he can remember the best set up was 1st and 2nd from a 1900 box and 3rd 4th and 5th from a 1600 BUT there are different ratios within different 1900 and 1600 boxes.

 

Does anyone have any spec on the different gear cog ratios from the different boxes and the speeds they obtain?!

 

I wanna try and set up the gearbox to the hillclimb so i can get the best performance, i still have no idea which CWP will be better, either the 4.4 4.8 or 5.3, any ideas?!

 

Thanx for your help

Only first gear is different on 1.6 boxes, all the other's are the same, There are a few Excel worksheets with the info on inc wheel and tyre sizes, This might be bought up on a search

Try it as a zip file for winzip, you might be able to upload it then.

 

Others can with a zip file anyway.
