1. Turn off the caps
2. Guessing your in Dayton Ohio?(click the link in my sig, if you have not already/forums )

3. 12t is about the smallest you will find..95% of maxx guys run the maxx tranny, since it is alot stronger. Kris (Silvr_tung_Devl) had ran 32p gears on his tranny, but I can not remember what ratio he ran...

You can go up in the sticky about building a maxx and find out how to figure your final ratio... I personally liked anywhere from 80-110:1 on my maxx

That is a good setup, that give a little more on torque side than wheel speed, but enough of wheel speed for most climbs.
