EDIT: A CIMple box's ratio is closer to 4.67:1. Just wanted to throw that out there.
EDIT 2: In this case, you need more torque rather than speed.
You need a much higher gear ratio. 5:1 is not nearly enough for 20" tires. 5:1 is barely enough for 6" kit wheels.
[rant] I hate that AndyMark is providing these gearboxes. You can't do nearly enough with them. The ToughBox was much better. Provided a lot of torque and gave good speed right out of the box (okay, right after assembly). [/rant] That's not to say that I don't LOVE AndyMark. They are among the best vendors to deal with.

Really? I've been fed lies! Though I find it hard to believe that a we use a breaker that trips at a higher current than the Jag's internal protection.
