Description
Calculate car gear ratios using spur and pinion gear counts and secondary gear ratios. Input values to determine final drive ratio. Compare low and high gear settings for acceleration, speed, motor load, and battery life.
The calculation of the final drive ratio of the RC car is...
[No. of spur gears x No. of Pinion gears x Secondary gear ratio]
You can calculate with the above.
It is very troublesome to calculate every time, so I developed this application which can be used offline.
When set to low gear (high numerical value),
- Acceleration (rise) is fast.
- The maximum speed does not increase.
- The motor load reduces.
- The running time of the batteries will be longer.
When set to high gear (low numerical value),
- Acceleration (rise) is slow.
- The maximum speed increases.
- The motor load increases.
- The running time of the batteries will be shorter.
However, please note that some motors and ESC have their own recommended gear ratios.
