Re: gear ratios

You may want rethink using the drill motor geaxboxes, they are more trouble than they're worth. While we didn't use a gearbox, we mated the chip and drill motors to a comon shaft with sprockets and chains. The chip ran a 9 to 9 tooth, while the drill ran a 9 to 32 tooth. The match was so good, the software that was written to equalize the two motors wasn't needed. On the dyno we put out .55 hp.
