I would think 80-90% of the CIM freespeed rpm to be a reasonable expectation for an FRC drivetrain. Regardless of that, this transmission looks like it's geared way too high. We'll likely be taking our chances with the toughbox nanos instead, though we'll have to add a bunch of ugly holes to the chassis.
