We plan to use 4" hex bore Andymark performance wheels on live axles with blue nitrile tread. We will be testing a 2.92 spread ratio, set to roughly 7fps/18fps, a 3.64 spread at 5.5fps/18fps, and finally a 2.06 spread geared to 7fps/13.5fps. The 2.06 spread is being tested specifically to see what kinds of acceleration we will see with a lower top speed, but more torque. As for the current draw, we have not thought of any ways to measure that yet.
