What it's the advantage of the 4th gear in a mid-motor conversion?

It's another idle so you don't have to run the motor in reverse...

It promotes more rearward weight transfer under acceleration.

It also allows for much better control of the car in the air (after a jump etc).

You can use the force of the motor and the weight of the wheel rotation to balance the car in the air. Like when you hold onto a motor whilst not mounted in the car and hit full throttle, the motor almost twists out of your hand - acts the same way in the car.

3 gear is no good... 4 gear is the future!

Its the reason why the new Losi 22 comes with 2 different gearboxes depending on whether you're running rear motor or mid motor - one is 3 gear and one is 4 gear!

Looking good tho mace! Jon!
