We are using the Drills (Just the motor) Geared Down about 4:1 to match the Chips then down to 50:16 and out of the main gearbox in High OR a further 4:1 in low. Then it is a 3:1 reduction to the driveshafts through sprockets (I told myslef no more chain and sprockets you would think I would listen) (Our main problem at Buckeye was HERE it will be fixed for GreatLakes to keep from throwing the chains on high speed impacts) and the Drive Pulleys are about 6" in Diameter.

For a tank it cooks in high about 9 ft/sec and little over 2 in low.
