Re: Motor Gearing Help!!!!

we can't help you come up with a gear ratio without knowing specifics about your motors.

At any rate, you went about it the wrong way. You put a large sprocket on the output, and a small sprocket on the wheel. This will make your car go faster. You need to gear your motor down and put a large sprocket on the wheel, and a small one on the output.
