How go you figure that something used by racing teams with hundreds of millions in R&D is a meme?

Can someone explain how they work vs helical gearbox and why it's better, and maybe shit about helical gearboxes
feel really dumb not knowing this
Joshua Anderson
Helical gears are like screws. You apply torque and they try to move forward and backward, like a screw. Add lots of torque with the mating gear having alot of resistance, lots of traction, and its going to bust the transmission case. Long story short, straight cut gears means smaller and lighter transmission that can handle the same amount of torque.

Even if you know, you are still going to be dumb.

Straight cut are very slightly more efficient ( i think on average it's 98% vs 99% efficiency, so not a big deal), but they are lighter and smaller for the same load torque. However they are not used in road cars because they are very noisy (go to YouTube and search straight cut gear sound). I think rhey sound good but it would get annoying pretty quick on the road
