Help needed with motor set-up

Help,

I am currently working on a project to covert a ARii Mazda RX-7 plastic kit to a slot car, but I've encountered a problem...

I have recently bought a HRS Slot-it Chassis to mount the kit on, but I need a sidewinder motor so I can fit in the plastic kit's interior (or a Fly one), anyhow can someone tell me what on earth is the different between Slot-it's 38/34/32/26 tooth sidewinder crowns?

Does the amount of teeth help with performance or smoother running? And what would be the best for a fairly large home Scalex Sport circuit?

Oh, it's all getting a bit confusing!


Cheers

Mark

SlotIt makes different pinion gears for inline and sidewinder setups. To keep the diameter of the gears the same the pitch is different for each gear. If you are using a SlotIt spur gear be sure to get the pinions made to match spur gears.
