Re: Need Advice! - Shooter is not performing as expected
I'm hope someone will check my math, but if you were to achieve 24,000 rpm on an 8" wheel, you would have a surface speed of 545 miles/hour......

Perhaps we are not going for the same distances, but we have found a direct drive on a 5" wheel satisfactory.
