I really should have geared it down a bit from stock. You can pick up a Integy 35turn lathe motor. It would be a bit slower and yet have even more power then stock.

I personally don't think that I would go any more than that - I have crawlers, and a 55t would climb the side of your house - in about 1/2 day

This thing will climb anything even with the stock 540... then if there is grip it will tip over, not before you reach stupid steep angles... otherwise it just sinks in if it lacks grip. It's geared so low any cheapo $10 540 gives the tracks plenty enough of force... Paul
