Howdy all.

The old 20,000RPM motor was geared 8-27 (3.38). The newer 13,000RPM motor is geared 9-25 (2.78). The old crown is white/clear plastic with a brass pinion. The new crown is grey plastic with a blue nylon pinion. The Fangio (#0910) and Moss (#0911) W196 and the Godia (#0920) and Fangio (#0921) Maserati and the two Kurtis-Offenhauser (#0930) and (#0931) are the only ones with the old gearing and motor. If you do want/need to re-gear, Slot it pinions with the offset crown will work. The standard crown creates a lot of noise. You need to open the crown clearance in the chassis just a little to fit the Slot it crown. Axle is 48mm x 3/32 inch.
