Actually, gearing does have quite an effect on torque. If the motor has say 0.3 fl-lbs of torque at the shaft for a given amperage, gearing down 20:1 increases the gearing factor, so it's 6ft-lbs of torque. Reducing the gearing (increasing the ratio) increases torque at the wheels.

Oops.. I was thinking of torque that is effecting the transmission, but thanks for correcting me.
