on nitro cars the pinion (drive gear) is smaller than the spur (driven gear)... now correct me if i'm wrong wouldnt it make sense to reverse the theory?... a large gear driving a smaller gear would produce more top end speed so why arent they made this way?... do the engines not have enough torque?...

i'm going to a machine shop on sunday to undergo my making of my forced induction... should i try and make reversed theory gears while i'm there to try it out or would it be a waste of time?

serious answers please... thanks for your time

A v 8 wouldn't have enough torque to turn the wheels if the gears are reversed, what your trying to do is call overdrive.
