I understand that point. The question I have is what kind of GR we can get away with without burning up our Jaguars? We will definitely use chains and sprockets if we can't get the proper GR we need. We just are not sure how to figure out what the GR needed is to be safe and still fast. By the way, we have 8" Mechanums.
