Be careful when welding since the heat may make the gears more brittle.
The rule of thumb usually holds true, but if increasing your gearing isn't helping, try reducing the gearing instead.

I haven't played with the gearing yet. I loaded a whole bunch of solder in there so i am not sure how long it will hold. Like you said it is soft. Didn't really expect a whole lot just a test to see how well this setup would work and i like it. But if it holds like this i am going to leave it. Once this is all said and done i will do a write up of how to lock it in 2nd. The motor brakes are great, and the speed is incredible. And now i need taller gearing which will make it faster,
