Default RE: Mystery Solved! How to select the proper gearing for your electric RC!

Yeah, I didn't bother with the speed calculation. Myself I find it to be useless cuz I honestly don't care how fast I COULD be going, as long as I'm in the lead on lap 35.

My only concern is that people will take this as gospel, 100% of the time, and cook a motor. For example, a really hot 9t is going to want a smaller pinion than a mild 19t, but this tells them to always use a xxt pinion with certain tires.. Myself, I'm going to use it as a starting point, then check motor temps from there.
