See this picture of a 6 speed Tamiya gearbox as an example: i.ytimg.com/vi/mXXZMxo5_6k/maxresdefault.jpg | |

| Sep 29, 2015 at 23:55 | comment | added | Soviero | Thank you, but I'm a little confused by something. I've been taught that gear ratios are determined by the first and last gear in a set, no matter how many gears there are. So, what do you mean by "staging" and how does "staging" gears increase the ratio to more than the first and last provide? | |
