I ran some numbers with both the 550's and the 775's and while the 550 was capable of doing what we needed it to do, we felt that the added robustness of the 775 was something that we wanted.

There was really no reason that we could come up with to not build a 6WD. The field is flat, relatively unobstructed, and the game called for mobility, speed and pushing power (Or at least the ability to hold your ground), so we felt that 6WD was the best option to fit all of those.

We're running the stock gear ratios on the Super Shifter. With a 6" wheel, we're looking at a low Gear of somewhere around 5fps and a high gear somewhere around 13fps after adjusting for efficiency and all that fun stuff.
