They have a 5fps/16fps (or 6/15 I forget...). The high gear is very fast, and the low gear is putting out a significant amount of torque, probably just around traction limited knowing them (which is a lot, using gum rubber roughtop tread... which is about the highest coefficient of friction you can legally get for wheels). So, I'd say they can push if they need to; They're just too busy scoring.
It is 5 in low and 15 to 16 in high. The first statement was true about us not having much pushing power as we weighed in at about 90 pounds at each event since we did not have ramps.
