I replied about the gearing cause I wasn't sure the way you were talking about it not wanting to pull the wheels up and wouldn't run very fast. Made me start wondering about the gearing and if you were even letting the power band kick in before shifting into higher gears. Sorry, but there are a lot of guys comming on here not knowing how the banshee's react, respond, no problem we just don't know who knows what, so we throw it out there.
