Just wondering, they have a big chunk of models choices. Especially 1:8 cars. Anyone tried this site yet?

Definetely not buying this Looks like a MoC to me, no disrepect to anybody -
Hi all :) I've been building a good number of best supercar mocs lately, and i decided to step up my game a bit, and build a supercar (1:10) of my own. If the paneling, steering, making a chassis is Something i can do without too much trouble, it's not the same when it comes to gearbox. As i Don't want to rehash somebody else's job, or at least not completely (lol) i've been busy these past few days trying to learn how gearing works. And thx to sariel and his work, (e.g gear calculator / tutorial) i've learnt a lot already. But obviously, i'm just beginner and there is a lot i have to figure out before i can do a gearbox of my own. So i've build this one, found on internet and try to study it: I was trying to calculate gear ratio of each gear but i'm already stuck :( So question, since i can't even figure out which one of the entry is the input, hence the other being the output. Isn't a gearbox supposed to gear up whatever the gear engaged? so we'd have at the end Something like this, say: 1st: 1:6 2nd 1.4 3rd: 1.2,1 and 4rth: 1:1 (not related to the picture below) When i look at that exemple and the placement of the 1st gear, hence orange entry being the input, it appears to gear down, and hence, i've considered the red entry being the input. I'm already lost. And worse: i can clearly count that i have a 1:6 gear ratio, but when i try to calculate, the result won't match (4th gear on the picture): 24 teeth into 8 teeth: 1:3 8teeth into 16 teeth 2:1 Following grey 16teeth on a different axle is idle 16teeth into 8teeth 1:2 final ratio with math: 1:3 (calculator) but when i count 6 révolutions for the last gear, so i'should have a 1:6 ratio What am i missing here? thx for helping me guys! Sorry for the noob questions, but everything's gotta be a lot easier once i figure this out :)

I used a really simple mod, requiring very few bits without taking axles apart https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-21406/RB-instructions/porsche-911-rsr-lowered-tiefergelegt/#comments As i widen the rear by 2 studs in total, i had to modify this moc a bit, but if you dont intend to do more with your rear axle, this should do the trick ;) I really prefer the red
