Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
although the rpm's come down the load goes up. so you end up having to put your foot into it more. ie more fuel. so as tom said it cancels itself out.
I ran into this issue driving a powerstroke one time. I drove 60mph thinking I'd get better mileage. nope. it took way more pedal to keep it running 60 than it did to run 75. so I sped up to 75 and got better mileage. it's all about load and where your engine makes enough torque to keep the mass moving at speed.
patrick, go to the web site, there are pictures. 2nd gear is now on needle brngs. actually it is the shaft spinning too fast relative to the gear speed that is the problem.What of the aforementioned question of 2nd gear spinning too fast on the shaft when the 5th OD is increased? Can you tell about any upgrades to that section?
on the web site you can click on 'view the manual' this is a specific manual for this gear upgrade, and should be in enough detail for anyone.I'm in. Just curious if you will have how to instructions along with the parts?
Thank you, Tom! For your patience and for never giving up on this very ambitious re-engineering project, even after so many drawbacks...this is a good time to say thanks.........
