Is it motors or gearing?

    I understand about gettting the proper gearing to get the proper wheel speed.  But, comparing Motor A, with lower RPM, and the necessity to go to a taller (numerically lower) gear setup, such as 2.4::1, and Motor B, with a higher RPM, and a gear setup of, say, 2.7::1, would not Motor B have more torque at the wheel and the ability to accelerate faster?  All this being dependent upon controllability, of course.
