Shifting is NOT necessary if you have a system like this.
How would you classify systems that have wheels spinning at different speeds but geared off the same motors, where the driver can select which ones are contacting the carpet?

We had something similar to this, but instead of having different wheel sets, we had our primary drive as the wheels (speed) and we could raise/lower our set of treads for torque, the treads went up/down in about 6-7 secs, and we went about 2-3MPH on them, on the wheels we went about 6-7MPH......it was our solution for wanting both speed and power.....
