| Which lathe motor for WK stock gearing?
Is there a lathe motor that will climb OK and still have enough wheel speed to clean mud off the tires and do this with stock gearing? How about for just trail dirving and climbing. For that I'd like to have at least 2 mph available, 3 or 4 would be better still. Choices seem to be 45T, 55T, 65T and 75T. Thanks. |

Probably a 55T with stock gearing would be good. I run a 55T with a 15/96 gearing and it goes about 3 mph top, so with stock gearing you will be faster than that.

with the 15/96 gearing do you use it for crawling only? I cant decide which gear to go with, and if i'm correct the 96 fits without the cover correct? all I want is a gear for crawling, but still be able to have some wheel speed if I need it. |

Dont forget the hand winds in even numbers too... 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 too many choices. I am running a 55T with 12/93 gears.
