Re: gears....?

ok this is the best way i have found to figure gears go find a gear calc online and put in the trans tire and tcase info and play with it. you will want depending on your motor around a 2200cruse speed for the motor. your cruse speed should be in the power band that way your not shifting all the time and not luging it down either
