Re: One speed vs Two speed gearboxes

I generally see shifters as a good thing. Autoshifting code meanns that you can go 6 cim drive and have peak speeds of 18+ fps. You can get around defense.
Of course, if there's tons of obstacles, you could easily go to one speed and save some time and money.

To save money, you might consider switching to an in-house shifter.
