All ratios from motors to wheels (and size of wheels -- but we already know that 8") are also needed to answer questions intelligently.

It is 2 CIMs per side. Each side has the 3 wheels coupled using belts. The gearing ration is 12.75:1. Also something important to note is that since the air tubes popped easily, we have replaced those with pool noodles
