I like changing gears, but i know with my Aeromax 3rd gear is suicidal, it goes like a sports car. It needs more gears not less. I'd like some really slow gears but maintain the fast "highway gears" for the odd occasion when they do get used.  |
well start playing around with different turn motors and pinion gears . Put in a grear reduction unit . There are a couple of options for those (GRU ) . In my heavy hual 5900i , I have a 75t lathe motor with a 4:1 GRU . In 3rd gear It'll just keep up to the other trucks in 1st . BUT , If your gona go that low you better beef up the input pinions on the axles when pulling weight (excess of 100#)
