Roight then! This c/would explain "slow tracked" and "fast tracked" (or
any "slow/fast") mobility difference then, no? So if you take an
essentially "slow velocity" vehicle, change the transmission so its
speed can be higher, you've basically just upgraded to "fast velocity".
Just removing the weight isn't going to allow a "slow velocity" vehicle
to reach "fast velocity" speeds (this is my understanding of it, and
what I was trying to poorly and inadequately say last night; I'm much
better dealing with stellar things ;-)

You know how to make my day, Tony.  ;-)
