Re: (ET) How many speeds?

[<diggerdave bigfoot com>]

I think some in this discussion may be confusing the use of gears with the 
use 
of the speed control??  I didn't take any of the previous msgs to advocate 
not 
using all the gears but rather cautioning against using the lower speed 
settings which are achieved by sending current to the resistors generating 
heat 
and wasting battery power.
