Re: Gearboxes? Help!

The cimple box is great! but...

*WARNING*

The Cimple box is geared at about 4:1 and If you put a 1:1 sprocket ratio on there you will be going SUPER fast i'm talking 24fps. So please use the Double 12t sprocket on the output shaft (this comes with the gear box so you should have one) and use the 26t sprocket on the wheel. This will give you a nice 11fps speed.

This happened to me... but the opposite... I made the robot go to slow.
