grows with speed, try to estimate the average or maximum diameter of the tire to get either average
speed or maximum speed throughout the run.
8. Final Gear Ratio – Enter the gear ratio here. The final gear ratio is the number of turns the motor must
make for one full revolution of the wheels. In a direct drive vehicle, this is obtained by dividing the
number of teeth of the spur gear by the number of teeth of the pinion (smaller) gear. If the vehicle used
is a belt drive car or has a front and/or rear differential, you must multiply the spur/pinion ratio by the
ratio of the belt reduction or the differential reduction. Both of these ratios will be numbers larger than
one.
