Re: Gear Ratios
Well this is not as easy as just saying "ok you need a 5:1 ratio" There are alot of things that need to be considered when designing a transmission. On these forums there are quite a few resources that will help you but here are some initial things to think about.
What motors are you using to drive?
what obstacles are you going to be facing?
What you want your top speed to be?
What kind of gear set up are you trying to use (efficiency depends on this)?
I would take a look through the white papers section on the site and get a feel for how and what needs to be looked at to design a transmission. You are on the right track though by asking, there just isn't a straight forward answer to your question.
