Shorter gear ratios, so will get off mark quickens but top end speed will be reduced overall

they any good or is it just newer?

I've always found the F20 just right, if you can find one from a 4x4 they are a bit shorter.

F20 is the one you want. F18's are not as strong.

personally id got for the F20 but thats just me, better ratios for drag use etc... hence why i swapped a F18 for one.
im pretty sure theres more than just your basic F18WR and F18CR, theres a few from what iv heard but not too sure whats best

Its going to be for a track only car, the f18 cr I've been offered comes with flywheel,clutch and equal length
shafts. so I think I'll give it a go..
that's unless some one can explain a good reason not too.

as said theres different ones, not just wr and cr, heard good and bad reports about them. diff's arent the best but give it a go, only going to be 50 or whatever to change to a F20 if it goes tits up
