Yes, this is the feature that really worked out well. By changing one gear
(and adding appropriate number of 1/3 thickness shim plates under the motor),
one can get the following final drive gear ratios: 1/9, 2/9, 1/3, with no
additional modifications to the chassis. The 1/9 ratio will tow a file cabinet;
the 1/3 ratio is downright speedy (for a tracked vehicle)..
