See but the problem I see with this set up is when you want to do something precise like lining up to shoot. If you try to do this on high gear it will be harder to do this. What I was thinking was that it shifts down when it draws to much current to automatically shift in pushing matches like you said.

But also have a manual override option to shift when necessary like the situation I mentioned.
