I’m swapping a VFD Twin into mine today. With a fusion pro and the selectable overdrive and dig I think it will be perfect in that. And I’ll use the standard VFD in my pheonix trail rig that doesn’t need that stuff.

Surely too much over/under drive is just asking for the tires to break traction which is not what you want. There is definitely a sweet spot with just a bit.

My opinion is too much OD. Ive found less is more especially on side hills. It tends to drag more than it actually digs so you loose traction and it slides off course. JMO we welcome yours. Thanks again Mr. Collins for your expert work as per usual.

Those new gears. They achieved lower tooth count on the ring by going to a coarser pitch tooth, not changing the fishnets of the ring or pinion. So essentially that does not change the ratio. It does it you figure it out by tooth count, but if you measure the O.D. of the gears and it's the same as the new rear gears than nothing has changed. Just like changing from 48DP spur and pinion to a MOD1. The tooth counts change but the actual ratio doesn't.
@TheAmericanUhate4 ай бұрын
The outer diameter of the gears isn't what determines ratio, the gear teeth count does. Same thing in full size as well. The pinion turns the same and moves the ring gear further with less teeth.
@cwthemachinist4 ай бұрын
@TheAmericanUhate you can have different counts of teeth on the same diameter/ pitch circle gear as long as the Diameteral pitch is altered. Example, not exact numbers: A given gear diameter with, let's say, 48 DP might have 88 teeth on it. Now take that same gear and increase to a Diameteral Pitch MOD1, and the tooth count will drop to maybe 37 or so. The outer diameter of the gear has stayed the same, but the tooth counts have been drastically changed. But, the ratio will remain the same when interacting with another gear where the same alteration has been made. Tooth counts do not change gear ratios. Altered diameters change ratios. Pulleys do not have gear teeth. But when you change the diameter, the drive ratio changes. A gear is a pulley with teeth. If if you want to get more technical. A gear is a series of levers of a determined length, fixed around a hub. Read what I wrote again. When the PITCH/aka courseness or calculated SIZE of the gear teeth changes, but the diameter remains the same, the ratio does not change. A change in tooth count will affect ratio only if the Diameteral pitch remains the same. In this instance, he changed to gears with a courser Diameteral Pitch. And if the outside diameter remains the same, but the Diameteral pitch changes, the ratio remains the same. This is why I commented with this, firstly. In full-size vehicles, tooth count changes alter ratio because the pinion gear either gets larger or smaller as well as sometimes the ring. The ring gear has to be moved/ spaced accordingly on the carrier, to accommodate the change in pinion Diameterpinion. But the Diameteral Pitch (tooth size) remains the same.Do some research. Look in Machinery's Handbook. Don't believe what the "pros" of the internet write. I've been custom machining gears and building and designing power trains for over 25 years. I know what I'm talking about.

@cwthemachinist You're still conflating the idea that gear teeth on the OD of a gear is the same as gear teeth on the sidewall of the gear. The OD has nothing to do with the ratio on a ring & pinion type of axle gear. The outer diameter of the ring gear is not what drives the axles or gear ratio, the gear teeth on the sidewall of the gear is. The pinion gear turns 1x to turn the ring gear x amount, then a different amount with a different tooth count on the gear. A ring & pinion is not the same as a spur & pinion. A spur & pinion has the teeth on the outer diameter of the gear, not the sidewall of the gear. Diff gears in full size are exactly the same thing. The outer diameters does not change on the right gear, however pinion gears does reduce in size when going to a lower ratio gear set, and has to be shimmed forward to pair with the ring correctly.
@cwthemachinist4 ай бұрын
@TheAmericanUhate I'm for sure not confused. It doesn't matter whether the teeth are on the O.D. the I.D. or on the side, as in a bevel. The diameter of the gears is what drives the ratio. A ratio is a comparison of one thing to another example 4.10 : 1 = 4.1 turns of the input shaft to 1 turn of the axle shafts. When you change the "ratio" in a diff, you are either increasing or decreasing the diameter of the pinion gear. That is why you have to add a spacer behind the ring gear on a stock carrier when you go from like a 2.73 : 1 up to a 4.11 :1. It's because the pinion diameter has gotten smaller, and in turn results in it having less teeth. So the ring gear now has to be spaced over to contact the smaller diameter pinion gear. The tooth counts are used to only calculate gear ratios. The diameter of them is what determines the ratio. You use tooth counts to configure ratio because it is the quickest way to do it. Tooth count is a direct mathematical translation of the gears diameter and is an accurate way of calculating ratio. But gear tooth counts DO NOT determine ratio. Tooth counts of different Diameteral Pitches, on the same diameter gear can alter greatly. A smaller number of course gear teeth will fit on a gear than would fine pitch teeth on that same diameter gear. Think of this: a ratio of 30 teeth on a bevel or spur, mating with a pinion that has 10 teeth. The ratio is 3:1. Now take those same two diameter gears and change tooth counts. Now the spur or bevel has 75 teeth and the pinion has 25. The tooth counts have been changed drastically, but the ratio remains the same, 3:1. That is because the Diameteral Pitch of the gear teeth has gotten finer, now needing more teeth to completely fill the gear. But if you change the diameter of those same two gears, whether you also change the Pitch of the gear teeth or not. The ratio will change. This is because diameter drives ratio, tooth count does not. I can't explain it any other way. The things that I design, machine, set-up and build are all made with the principles I'm trying to describe. They all work 100% correctly and for a long time. Not much else I can say. Agree to disagree with me.

the problem with overdrive that people don't realize is that you're forcing the vehicle to constantly break traction. It's good situationally, but not 100% of the time. Think of abs braking. If your brake lock up you can easily lose control because you broke traction. The goal is to not lose traction in the first place for better stability and handling. Well with overdrive your front and rear tires are in a constant battle of tug of war, causing you to have terrible traction
