Re: 2 Speed Gearboxes FPS?

We ran around 7fps in low and 14.5fps (accounting for some drivetrain speed losses) in high last year with 2-cim ball shifters on 6in colson wheels. That setup worked great for us.

I like to have 2spd transmissions be barely traction-limited in low gear and let the high gear fall in the 12+ft/s range.
