With the very low traction we'll have, there is no reason to have low gearing for low speed acceleration. Even with much higher gearing than we normally use on carpet, we will have the power to spin wheels uncontrollably. The trick will be to have a subtle touch on the throttle. Also, having a good traction control system should be very helpful.
