High gear is 6.4:1, low is 11.4:1, giving us speeds of about 8 and 14.5 feet per second, riding on 4" treaded colson wheels, set up in a belt driven WCD with sheet metal construction. Utilizing gears that we had on hand was a high priority for this design, as budget for offseason improvements is next to nonexistant, and this played a large part in driving these choices. Future iterations would likely have a larger reduction spread and faster high gear, as long as the game calls for it.
