Default Re: changing gears

I like having the gears. Never been to a show yet but i'd imagine that 1st gear is all i would need. I have a 55turn motor and 3rd is pretty fast. i usually just use 2nd and just dont throttle up alot. Ive been debating a GRU for the truck to slow it down just a bit but i have fun in my alley with my tailer using 3rd gear at full throttle. (it moves pretty good even with my 4 year old on the trailer 50lbs) But if i was able to make a show and hope to make to indy this year id prob lock it into first gear. Its just nice to have to option if needed.
