Default RE: transmision gear and spur gear questions

climbing power and speed
I do not think you can have both.

- Climbing ability involves torque (fewer teeth in the wheel)
- Speed involves top end (more teeth on the wheel)

Same goes for real drag racing. I have 2.73 gears in the rear, so I am slow out of the hole but I have a high trap speed. (deadly on the highway) ;-)
