Re: Gearing for 12 (fps)

In 2010 and 2011, we had CIMs on 9:1 reduction gear boxes and 6" wheels, and it served us well*. I'll let you do the math on just how fast that is, and come to your own conclusions.

*in both cases we wish we had the ability to downshift for pushing power, but not all the time!
