How does it drive, the shift from 4th to 5th in particular? Do you find any occasion you want 5th gear for the speed but when you shift from 4th to 5th not enough power to get into the 0.63 5th, slight hill perhaps. What is the RPM drop if you have a tachometer?

Also curious about first gear, I know you have slow axle gears which helps but does 2.95 first feel low enough?

This would answer some of my earlier concerns and hesitations about this model with fast gear ratios.

Thanks,
Grigg
