f13 cr with a 4.18 final drive or higher.(higher you go more chance of wheel spinning)

i cant see there bein much chance off wheel spin with a 90% diff. ive got a choice of 4.1 and 4.5. should i just go with the 4.1?

The higher the final drive the greater the acceleration.
So a 4.5 will give more acceleration(perfect for twisty hill climbs)

With a 4.5:1 final drive 1st will only be useable for getting the car onto a trailer, lol.

depends on what sort of events you are doing does the car need long legs?? ie tarmac or are you doing forest stuff
i run a 4.1 on airfield events but i think a 4.5 would be better
4.5 imo
