The speed difference is noticeable. Last year we could spin the tires in place if we really wanted, now it's hardly moving fast enough to keep up with someone walking.

We're using the CIM motors and toughboxes from andymark. Not sure of the gear ratios.

Will do more testing on the Jags' outputs tomorrow.
