I should know 766 drivetrain since 3309 is running their drivetrain. We are running pretty much the same gear reduction as 254 except with just 4 motors. however we would be more likely to trip the breakers. A big difference was we chose not to groove the colson wheels knowing our gear ratios in both gears were too high to permit that. If we ran 254's wheels, we would have breaker issues big time. We managed our traction and were safe to prevent breaker trips. 3309 tested this ourselves by doing a simulate push test, the wheels always spun in low gear, we could never trip the breaker.
We gotta credit 766's old mentor Scott Baron for teaching us this back in 2005.
