Why not lock it in first???

2: The input gear is smaller so there are fewer teeth. I figured fewer teeth would see more wear than a gear with more teeth.

3: You need a fairly large pinion and small spur to make up for the low gearing in the tranny if you want decent top speeds. Locking in second allows you to have more gearing options and uses eay to find pinion sizes.

4: Second gear has three options; narrow, std, and wide ratios. This allows for a little more adjustability inside the tranny.

1: I'am setup with mechanical brake ever.
2: You're probably right, don't think it!
3: 22/36 give me about 35-38m/h
4: You're probably right too.

So what i'll do, is keep my 2 speed setup, and when the second gear will explode due to the torque of the brushless Neu, i'll try to gear it and run in first gear. And when the first gear will explode too, i'll rebuild my tranny and lock it in second, but keep the mechanical brake, just to give a break to the controller in a hard racing condition.

Thank you guys for you reply!
