Once the total stall speed of the TC is reached it no longer increases engine torque and is of no advantage other than a coupling!
There are no solid gears that can multiply torque to the input shaft which is coupled to the engine and seeing the engine torque!
I love threads like these, It separated the whey from the chaf and let's you know who knows what they are taking about and who doesn't.
Like eric said who cares , just test and see what combo accelerates hardest in your rig.
Did we decide who knew what they were talking about :confused: ................... :thumbsup:Quote:

I don't know I'm all wound up on tip speed I get from a dude in a single wide some where in Texas...........................LOLQuote:

How about we say, its the amount of work that can be done with the available engine torque that changes with the ratio based on load.Quote:

Look@ the pic and tell me what gear ratio I need on the port motor to pick up the speed I've lost.
Attachment 358074 ;)
more gear reduction dose make more toque at the prop shaft. But it reduces the prop shaft speed that it is delivered.
This dose not change the HP at the shaft.
So you can spin a bigger wheel but it will spin at a slower speed. With nothing else changed with the eng output.
You wont pick it all up, but a higher numerical may help. But then you know that . What is left in the starboard case?
