Default Re: Too fast!!

I know the price seems un-real but the PMD 4:1 is nearly unbreakable.

I have one truck with the 4:1 after the trans (stock pinion and stock motor) and 1 truck with a 3:1 and a puller motor before the trans.

The truck with the 4:1 can sit on a bridge and just hold itself without much throttle at all - shifting is nice and smooth ad there is no lurching of the truck (free rolling back and forth while sitting still)

With the 3:1 at the motor before the trans the truck will have that lurching aspect and it doesn't want to shift under load - you have to kinda back out of it just a little then she'l shift - kinda realistic but different.

The 3:1 cost me around 50 bucks from Willy and the puller motor was 35, while the 4:1 ran me 150

just some thoughts for those comparing .....
