Roady,

He asked what the wire size was not the size of the covering on the wire.

the strand count is important... and the coverings ability to withstand an acidic environment

Gas charged shocks will have an oposing effect when compressed as well as coil over shocks hence the spring. A regular shock has no rebound effect and relies on the weight of the wheel assembly to return it to its static position.

No gears are changed, the motor simply spins in the opposite direction due to a polarity change. Speed in reverse will be same as forward unless "half speed reverse" is active, OR, there is a problem in the system somewhere.

I hope you find the problem so I can hopefully fix mine. It's doing the same thing. Punchy and fast reverse, slow as a turtle in forward. I'll keep watching!

Yes, I know. What I was trying to say is some Manufacturers don't follow the AWG standard. They might advertise it as 4 gauge but it may or may not be. It's important to know the this because its real easy to just look at a cable and mistake it for a particular gauge based on the overall size. We've seen it on here...some guy thought he bought 4 gage or some guy told him it was 4 gauge when it wasn't. Look on Ebay and there is cable there with 3 or 4 layers of insulation. (china made and since when did china use the America Wire Gauge standard to make cable....) Like the HD 4 gauge jumper cables I bought from wally world....they LOOKED like 4 gauge and were advertised as 4 gauge when in fact they were 10 at best. You have to watch what your buying. Only an EDUCATED consumer can be sure he's getting the right stuff. Hopefully, he's a little more educated after this.

Roady,

He asked if there was a way to measure gauge. I told him.
