Re: Are two speed transmissions worth it?

You can only "push" with as much power as it takes to break your wheels loose, so I think proper weight distribution and wheel selection is more important than shifting.

Our team has discussed this topic until we were beating a dead horse, and we have made the decision to look into a 6 motor, single (high) speed drive train. Heck, you don't even need 6 motors.
