located in the rear differential. Changing the final drive changes all the gear ratios, when you include all gearings between the motor and the ground. 4th gear will still be 1:1, but the wheels will move by a different amount for each rpm of the motor. Hope that's clear. To build on what ztunerz is saying above, I am sugesting you go the opposite direction of leader gears. Rather than make the final drive larger, from 3.69 (TT) 4.11 or something, you would get a smaller multiplier like 3.0 or even smaller. This would make gears 1-3 useful again (or more of them useful) and you would have a higher top speed.
