Re: Ideas for Ball Shifter?

You can swap to 11T pinions (P/N: 217-3107) on the CIM to get more of a reduction.

You can also direct drive a smaller wheel, such as a 3" Colson Performa.

Even then, you're going pretty fast.

If you're willing to machine gearbox plates, you have a bit more flexibility with ratios. VEXPro sells the shifting shaft separately.
