Group This has long been discussed. My take on it is that on the slick salt surface with one wheel invariably bigger diameter than the other- one of them is slipping which is bad. Therefore spider gears work best for the average light car. It is easy to jack the weight left to right to accommodate the torque reaction in high gear. At the drags this was not so easy with the torque multiplication of first gear-hence the use of spools. What does anybody else think? The Hayseed ARDUN recordholder |
