Mike,

If you change the ratios to lower the RPM and increase the torque this will only help out the motors even more from stalling and they will draw less current than if you geared it up for higer RPM's. Keep in mind teams out there you can build this tranny exactly to the print and add any output stage to the wheels that you want, up or down. We reduced ours by 3:1 last year with 6" brecoflex sprockets and it was pretty much too hot to handle in high so we will also go a little lower for 2004 which will give you even more torque.
