After high centering on a mound of dirt I shifted into reverse and tried to back out. Unfortunately the optidrive didn't do it's job and let the truck shift into reverse while still slightly under power. After the grinding noise the engine started running away. I powered down knowing that I had just lost a tranny.
Now it is time to upgrade...I am going to rebuild with the FOC kit and the rear brake. Now I am wondering about close or wide ratio gearing or the standard gearing. What is better for what?
Close ratio for track racing on a consistant surface wide ratio for bashing when you want a lower first gear for crawling and a higher gear to impress the neighbors as you jump thier house?
