With our current gear ration (2:1 with the drill motors set in low gear), we are getting about 2.5-3 feet per second....I have seen some people saying they are getting 10 fps.... what should we be aiming for?

We ran our system last nite for the first time this year. We are running 2 drill motors and both Atwood motors in both high and low. We are also running 6 wheel drive. We can manuver as well as we did last year.
We pushed a 220lb student sitting on the carpet in low gear with a chasiss weight of about 80lbs with modest effort. Next test was no load in high gear. At 80 lbs we were in the uncontrollable speed zone. Probaly around 16 fps. At 130 lbs we should slow up a little.
In the end, if our products are crap, then people will not buy them. This is the risk of doing business, and the foundation of capitalism. - Andy Baker [more]
