The lower the ratio, the smaller the input sun gear and the weaker the gear set in general The 1.96 that's popular currently is based on the 1.76 carrier seems to live quite well. Many of the other low ratio gear sets are based on the 1.82 carrier and they can be pretty fragile. I've stopped building anything lower than the 1.96.
