Hmm, I really like this ability to have 2 gears. No shift-on-the-fly, though. I just like to bash on my small track in first, without having to change pinions for something bigger.

I begin to believe that the difference in the 2 speeds gearing ratio is already to wide for being save in both gears over a long time. Well, at least for my setup.

Of course I have to find out for myself. I just never thought there might be something like under-gearing. (hotter in 1st than 2nd)
Apparently 1:32 is undergearing on my Truck (maybe I should add a bit weight:L: )

However, I would still like to ask the same question: Would 1:18 be overgeared?

Yes, I plan to get the proper pinions from RC-Monster.
My batts stay surprisingly cool, barely hand warm. And the controller is also rather cool. It just get's warm when I drive in second.

I had a full run in second only: ESC 60°C, 9L 75°C

Yes, the Revoxx IS very light, even with shifting servo and all. Everytime I have to pick it up without batts, or even without wheels, I'm like: whoa, babe's a lightweight. :) But I might add some stuff to make it better, though, and heavier too, for better of worse.
