I think it will run faster times with a front gear ratio slightly taller than the rear.....You want it to pull the car,not push it....Just like the real thing.
This is why i ran the front tires just a bit taller and my next step is try one tooth difference in the gear.

There is a story behind this picture but nit now.

Okay I found some time to pick up where I left off. I trimed down the tires by making them a bit narrower and I did a gear change hopefully to stop it from picking up the front wheels.
Now up to the interior and I found this beautiful piece from I don't know what but it is going to work out fine.
I'm using the roll bar from the kit and the wheel inserts as well.

Second round,I dialed in at 1.45 just in case it went faster. I had the leave and I cut a good ligth but at half track the car lifted the front wheels making a wheelie and slowing the car down and went high 1.5's and the other guy passed me and ran closer to his dile in giving him the win.
Ill get to the track on a slow day and try somthing else with the gear ratio.

Great car! I've been running a dual motor diecast '56 Chevy nomad weighing in at 624 grams with 1 3/16"x.300 proslot tires and 14x54 gearing. It runs 1.47@44 mph in the 1/4
