Default Re: changing gears

well the real trucks use between 6 and 18 forward eaton type gear boxes. But we are not using the kind of weight and horse power they do. In the real stuff with a 13 speed its about 5 kmh for first then every 15 kmh another gear with overdrive for 80 plus kmh

Default Re: changing gears

I really like the option of changing gears.

On my KH (IIRC 4:1 GRU) I use first gear for backing up and tight situations, second gear for indoor meets and 3rd for large paved surfaces. It only has a top speed of about 10 mph or so.

On my Mack DT (7:1 GRU) I use 1st gear for meets where actual dirt is used and 2nd gear at meets where rubber is used and we have smooth roadways and rarely use 3rd.
