Thought you needed a photo of the Roger Clark RS1600

This is the first proper look at the RevoSlot Escorts, now due to arrive August/September and available to pre-order at Pendle Slot Racing...

       
RS0139 - Ford Escort Mk1 No.20 British Caledonian

       
RS0140 - Ford Escort Mk1 No.79 Hannen Alt

       
RS0141 - Ford Escort Mk1 No.75 Jagermeister

Plus there's a RS0142 Ford Escort Mk1 White Kit. All have this chassis and spares package...

   

Thanks to Pendles for the images.

So has anyone noticed the pinion difference in the Ford and the Alfa?

[Top Down]

I guess not, so what is it?

[Kevan]

9/24 on the Alfa, apparently Revoslot have said the 12T on the Escorts is a mistake...12/24 is not going to be a good ratio 

12/24...huge top end but limited acceleration & brakes.

12/32 is the same ratio as 9/24
12/24 would be the equivalent to 9/18

[Kevan]

On reflection the 9/24 on the Alfa is way too low, brakes are ridiculously strong which tells me the pinion is too small or the spur is too big.  I've changed to 10/24 for tomorrows racing, the car should be smoother and I should have control over the brakes that doesn't exist with 9/24 as it's all-or-nowt.

12/24 with these small diameter tyres may work well.
