today I changed out my bigger tires for my smaller ones. I also changed the hearing for the smaller tires. I put 31,29,25,25 steel gears. I have plastic ones for the bigger tires. I have noticed with the smaller tires/gearing the gear box gets a little warmer than with the plastic gears. It also seems more sluggish with the smaller tires/gearing than with the bigger ones/gearing. Does anyone know what would cause this or is it normal?

@rawb4291 Metal to metal will create more heat, that's normal! Try switching your gear to 29,31,25,25.
 
Well I got a chance to take the rampage out today and the gearing is fine. Now I have another problem. I cracked the front diff housing.
