There has been an interesting discussion on this topic on Slotblog. When I asked the question: "Could someone please explain the benefit of using tapered pinions with an inline set-up?", the reply I got from some of the world's foremost slot racers was rather vague, to say the least. But they all use tapered pinions with their offset inline set-ups, with excellent results.
Here's the link to the discussion: http://slotblog.net/topic/33675-hypoid-vs-non-hypoid/
Now, if anyone can tell me why the Eurosport racers all use 72DP pinions with 64DP gears, that would enlighten me further!
Kind regards,
Russell
