Hi fellas I know the gear ratio in the alpha for the 5.7 is 1.5, However a good a shot @ getting a brand new complete alpha drive for peanuts but it has the 1.82 or 84 ratio know I know its worth it and just swap the gears but what I was thinking was you know how heavy these 268,s are and under powerd with the single SB what do you guys think about leaving the higher gears and making it up in the prop has anyone done this. I currently use a 3 blade 16x16 if any one has please let me know what prop you used and how did it afffect performance..
