P.S. dual motor transmissions add weight, and complexity it is a good choice for most rookies to go with a one motor non shifting drivetrain

Uh, shouldn't a 1:3 gear ratio make the output rpm greater than 12600, assuming 4200rpm at the output shaft of the motor?

3:1, on the other hand, would equate to approximately 1400rpm, still assuming 4200rpm.

Last season, with the Atwoods, we had two gear ratios. The high speed selection was geared at 10:1, and the high torque selection was 100:1. We moved at a nice 12feet/sec, I would estimate, in high gear. It moved like a snail in low gear, but boy was it hard to stop.

<edit>
I'm leaving the post as it was, but I'm just acknowledging that I am dumb, and that I was thinking in terms of rpm, not teeth per gear.

Thanks to M. Krass and Jon Lawton for clearing that all up for me.
