You can check the actual drawings but as I remember our calculated top speed was 16 feet per second... (whatever that translates to in field performance is just relative.... we really want good acceleration and not top speed.)
As I remember we came off the CIM with a 12 tooth spur gear that ran a 48 tooth spur gear that ran a pulley-belt-pulley (same size) that ran a 24 tooth spur gear that ran a 48 tooth gear connected to the wheel. On each side all four wheels are belted together and run off all three CIMS.
