Couldn't or Shouldn't? I know a lot of guys who are of the opinion that if you can't explain the idea using a napkin and a pen you are probably over complicating it.
Specifically, what part of my math did I do wrong? (Remember folks, I am a programmer, I do this in my spare time) I worked out what the speed of the motor at 40 amps was and based the speed off that. Is a 5.97:1 reduction too little for a 4" wheel?
