direct drive (1:1) is 5th, with 6th being your overdrive (0.76, 0.78, even 0.80:1)

GOT TORQUE?

With the amount of the bottom end torque in the CTD, a second O/D wouldn't even slow it down an ounce.
Even in R/C planes, they have diesels.
They've diesel kits to convert from 2-stroke nitro.
R/C = Remote Control
