Hey all. I'm a noob trying to learn more about gearing.
Forgive my ignorance, but why would you want anything higher than the stock 12T for general bashing (e.g., Outcast? I can understand for speed runs or racing, because more teeth equals more top end. However, since the stock gear has a max of 40 or 50mph, wouldn't you want to stick with it or maybe even go lower for the increased acceleration and torque? Or do people really hit max speed while bashing, hence the increased number of teeth people use? Maybe I'm just not bashing hard enough or I'm playing in too small of a space.
