Re: 3 motor gearbox

Sorry I didn't make a distinction between inputs and outputs, both are green. The min ratio was found for the time to cover 54 ft, the max ratio is based on 40A traction limited specs including CoF and the last three were found by finding where the ratio/max torque and ratio/max speed curves are equal. My math my be a little off on some of the numbers and the intersections are based on those numbers. All numbers have efficiencies accounted for, that is what the 'gear stages' input is for.
