I think for anyone wondering what kind of a difference your crawl ratio makes, this should make it very clear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sD2wn_2sNc(Even though it is an RC car, you can apply it to real world)

Did you notice how much the tires were aired down for the lower geared footage. A little help there but the point is still valid. Just saying. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I use to race those things all over California. I think it's a torque thing. Just saying. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
