I was just curious about the gear ratio, I thought about gearing mine up to take some of the snap out of it but I don't want to end up killing the motor when its already fast. My gear ratios are genearally higher than everyone else but I thought if yours was running ok with a 21t/87t combo then mine was way out but if its really a 19 then I'm not miles out like I thought.

I had a really bad meeting with the 501 this time, smashed a wishbone in practice then had a random power fail in three of the four races (turned out to be the deans). I'm having handling issues too, mid corner the car wants to spin when power is applied but my DB01 is setup exactly the same and doesn't do it. Its really annoying. It was fine at the players.
