I understand that. I know what the same controller, stock motor and 26" tires pulls like (torque), I was trying to get an idea on how 6:1 gears will feel since I don't have them installed yet or my batteries either. In other words I'm getting excited, the impatient one I am.

I'm using the following:
-DCX500PDS Alltrax
-48v
-stock PDS motor (for now)
-2 gauge cables
-6:1 hs gears
-18" tires (or something close)
-Trojan T-890 batteries (new)

If torque is unacceptable or motor temps skyrocket then PQ or D&D will be getting a call.
