|  gear ratio help
im building a 1:6 willys and am going to use an axial trans as a transfer case and a gd600 to drive the trans, just wondering if the dg600 will be enough gearing or will it be slow, also using WK axles. thanks  |

Not sure what the axial trans ratio is, but all you would be getting rid of is the spur & pinion ratio. So run the GD600 with a 12t pinion and instead of a 35t motor run a 55 or 65t motor. The higher gearing will give you wheel speed and the higher turn motor will give you torque and runtime. I'm looking at different drivetrain options myself. I'll let you know what I come up with.

I'd say that if anything, you won't have enough reduction. These rigs are heavy, mine is pushing 14lbs. I use a R2 with a 8T pinion, a Killer T-case ( no reduction) and WK axles. I just installed the R&P's from RCP to gain a little bit of reduction.

ok so im not sure how to calculate to get the final ratio, but i found the GR for the axial trans is 2.6:1 the wk axles are 2.92:1 and the gd can run 3:1 do i just add them together or is there a formula to it ?
