    Thanks Jim , great video , have been doing slotcars for years and still to this day get confused between high and low gear ratios , knowing what each ratio change does , going high or low , but could never remember which was which , what was considered high and what was considered low , but this quick video made it so clear ... Thank you .

    Worth knowing that the rear tire diameter also effects the final drive ratio.

      There are apps for your phone available that do a good job if you just want to time your car. Carrera makes one that will work on most 2 lane tracks.

    Other variable is car mass, if you lighter some weight from your slotcar. This allows to use higher gear ratio without harm car's previous accelerate behavior.
