Just to clarify the ratios on the dewalts with the first stage removed are 12:1, 4:1, and 3:1. These are further reduced by a 22:32 sprocket reduction giving speeds of 5, 13, and 17fps (Thank you JVN for your design calculator). The chain is run past 2 idlers to put the sprocket on the drive motor in the right place to only use 1 chain rather than one for each wheel.
