I've already bought 4 ring and pinion sets this year. Seems like every time I let the clutch out its eats $1000! I know we are close to figuring out what this thing wants for tranny ratios. We keep taking ratio out to calm it down, but it seems that the motor makes more torque the more we load it. Guess I'll keep throwing parts at it until we find the sweet spot!
You guys will figure it out...
