Our first test had a lot of gear reduction...not much distance. But I did get a slow-mo shot of it, it's fun to watch

So it seems there is a huge difference by only 50% weight difference. I'm not against trying a new shooter, but based on these, it's hard to gear down to the desired torque and keep rpms. I suggest instead of looking to the past for solutions in the 2006 and 2009 games, look into a new design for the new challenge. Who wants to see some 2006 and 2009 remakes? I'de rather watch new prototypes of flying cars fail than watch dependable wagons slowing go in circles.
