GEARING
Proper gearing is one of the most essential tuning options required to maximize the performance potential of a touring car. The key to proper gearing is finding and maintaining the best rollout for each track environment, motor/chassis setup and driving style. Rollout is the distance a car will travel in one revolution of the motor shaft. Pinion and spur gears are used to generate the rollout desired, considering the diameter of the tires mounted. Rollout determines top speed and acceleration. Usually a higher rollout will provide less acceleration and more top speed, and a lower rollout will be quicker off the line, but with less top speed.
