Best Single Speed Onroad Setup? (Gear Ratios)

[KauseKaos]

I searched on here but couldnt find my answer. Whats the Best single speed onroad gear ratio setup? I'm running 16/48. Need more. Want upstairs w/o losin off the line.

all depends

I think the answer to this is trial and error, usually road use would be 44t downwards, but its all going to depend on wheel size, power output ect, On my marder if i had a standed exhaust on it will not pull past a 46x18 ratio, but as i use samba pipe it changes all options, it will very comfortably zip me about on a 44 x 20 ratio off road, buy plastic gears to find your medium, then up grade to steel once you've found your level playing field, good luck

Kause,
My on-road FG came with 24/40 ratio and I am running a 23cc Zenoah. But, it is also an on-road and has less resistance than an off road. A good rule of thumb i always go by is, when you change your pinion gear, you will see more difference than if you change your spur gear.

First off all, what tyres will you use?

Then I can tell you what gears you should use...

 

[KauseKaos]

I'm running FG slicks

If those are slicks on Marder/offroad wheels than your gear drive
should be 18/46 or even 20/44. For F1 tyres you can use 21-22/42 or 23-24-25/40.

I have the Gray 5 stars on slicks. The FG truck tires. I think i've seen them on a FG M3 also.

Go for 20-44 gears, those are delivered with FG trucks sportsline and competition.

Yes you did. But i just ordered a 2 Speed instead. lol

Nice. I am playing with a 2 speed in my truck. I have a ton of gears to change around. close ratio sure makes it climb fast. the 2 speed with the one way is less drag and rolls free. you'll like it a lot

I got the on road 2 speed so hopefully i get a lot. Plus i won the DDM Dom. Top End Pipe for 97 on ebay. Next is the 813 carb.

He's on the right track.
but a bit too late for this season as it will be ending soon.
Think of it as an early head start for next season!

You will still need to buy a dremel and start cutting if you wanna compete with the top racers there.
