One other note: Low gear is defintely too slow. This past year we ran a similar speed w/ 13fps and 3.5fps. In low gear we could push without issues, but it took a very long time to get anywhere. It really wasn't worth it. Try gearing your low gear closer to the traction break point. Which will probably comeout to be 7-8fps.

When you're driving around trying to get to places, shouldn't you always be in high gear?
I know our driver stayed in our 17fps high gear 90% of the match, if not more.
