I did a search, didn't really find any information.

Was just watching a video that showed a 1:16 King Tiger doing some abusive runs to demonstrate a transmission units strength, and it seemed that the tank moved way too fast to be a correct scale speed.

With whats out there now, how are the speeds in terms of scale? I've got a HL Panzer III, and will have a StuG, both with metal gearboxes. Has anyone calculated how fast they SHOULD move, compared to what they do move? If my math is correct, a theoretical 25MPH vehicle speed, scaled to 1:16, would be 1.6MPH? Assuming few tanks have identical top speeds, the "universal" gearboxes that HL makes, would therefore be incorrect at best for all but one tank, unless the scale speed is close enough to correct for all the modeled tanks.

Not looking at battling or anything, but curious if anyone has already calculated this, or dealt with it? I'm thinking it would be more realistic/interesting when running at full throttle. Give me a better idea of what the tank would really be capable of.

I understand that the solution, if many run too fast, is re-gearing, new motors, or limiting max motor RPM.
