This is my third attempt at writing this email. While watching my C-16 run my circuit, up and down the slight gradient and not having to bolt out of my chair to save it from derailment, I began to wonder why it would never go too fast (which is to my liking). A friend mentioned it was because of the smaller drivers (which made sense to me, similar to a 4.11 rear end on a car)
So here's the question: If I was to turn the diameter of the tires on one of my ruby kits down to a smaller diameter would this give me a slower overall speed? (I'm thinking yes.) Is there any other known way to slow it down besides gearing, like maybe a shorter stroke? (Shorter stroke might not be that difficult; I'm thinking about turning it into an outside frame so the crank pins can go where ever I feel they would work best.) Any and all response welcomed!
