why lock in 2nd and not 1st?

[coolhandcountry]

I think i got a calculation of a 18 66 gearing in first gear to match up to your 13 66 in second.

Then I keep it locked in first, When I use the shift servo (pin in) to 2nd gear it seem almost like it is in between gears only.Almost like a clutch in a car , I only just got this thing running and since it works so impressive, at least to me, I just having fun w/ 1st gear. It does run very good but since I do like speed runs I will have to take a look inside. During assembly w/flm trans case
the pin is held from sliding with the smallest copper e-type clamp. I thought that was a weak link, the e/clamp was so small it did not slide over the pin, but the pin is seemingly not moving.

Do most people just lock in 2nd gear. ? In first gear wheelies at half thorottle
is no problem, slipper pretty tight however.

Thanks for your replys
