Ok good to hear. Will stick to 1.9's for now and do some 1.9/2.2 comparison testing as soon as it dries out. Lots of rain in NJ today.

Its a 35 turn motor. I have a 55 and will try it.

Did some testing in the backyard test facility today.

The 1.9's sunk and dug in immediately so went back to 2.2's. These solved the traction issue and the gearing is OK.

Some videos of the first runs...

This design seems to do a better job in the loose stuff (paver base)...
