I believe the current gear ratio is faster than 1717's. Our current ratio is about 87:1. The number 120 was just a number I chose because it's in the middle of the motor's range. Thanks for the suggestion though.


On a side note, here is a render of a future frame I CAD'd. It is built with a 110" perimeter. The swerves are 3" wide and 9.375" long. Sorry for the low quality render, but it was my first time trying to making a render.
