Gearing and Crawl Ratio's

[johnpaulgolf]

Ok I've been doing some searching for the right set up for better "crawling"

I've been getting with Chuck about buying his axle's(which I will when he finds new ones) and kickin around new gears ect.

This is some info I've recently learned.


I now have a T-Shift D20 and a RAT 3 speed and 3.50 gears w/34"tires

Chuck has a NP435 with a J-Shift D20 and 4.56 gears w/ 38.5"tires

This is a PM I sent Chuck talking about my situation




I did some research...here is the numbers

RAT 3 speed 1st=3.41 2nd=1.86 3rd 1.00

NP435 4spd 1st=6.69 2nd=3.34 3rd 1.79 4th=1.00


T-shift D20 low=2.46

J-shift D20 low=2.34

so mine now = 29 to 1

my D20 w/NP435= 57 to 1 (real soon)ASAP

mine w/ 4.88 gears = 40 to 1

mine with your axles = 38 to 1

my D20 + NP435 with your axles = 75 to 1 (future mods)

yours now = 71 to 1


so you are the man again the cheapest fastest way to crawl will be the NP435 hands down.


thanks bro
