8:1 gears ?
Would running the 8:1 gears be alright with a lift and 23" tires or would it be to much and screw something up?

Re: 8:1 gears ?
In theory it might be too much load for the 400a alltrax and stock motor ... I think the 8:1 or the 23s but not both. I have not tried it.

Re: 8:1 gears ?
Thanks Scotty, I'm just looking for alittle more...., waiting for batteries to die to go to 48v.(not trying to kill them neither..).Don't want the expense right now but when needed I will.

Re: 8:1 gears ?
23s are 5 inches taller but if you calculate the circumference difference....
18" = 54.54" 23 = 144.51" That is distance traveled per revolution. You can see why 23s knock the crap out of a stock controller at near 3 times the distance traveled per revolution...... add to that the distance increase in 8:1 over 12:1 (a 33% increase) and I think there is no way on God's green earth the little 36v battery pack is gonna move the cart I could be wrong but, I doubt it. |
