I like AMSA’s chances.
Do you know why alot of people dont run q/c rear ends? For 1 it adds weight 2 offsets the original geometry of the car if not done right 3 slows the cars down(correct me if im wrong). It takes a lot more power to rotate a shaft and gears than to rotate a straight chain to a gear. Now with larger motors it could be benificial for the durability and also the power taken from a sprintcar motor doesnt severly affect the output
