I am very satisfied with the speed of our drive system. Our students and engineers came up with a speed we feel is neccessary, which was a little above 4 miles per hour. We worked backwards from there with our gearing. So think about the size of your wheels and the gear attached to it (very important when converting from RPMS to MPH) and the gearing. And don't forget that there are two settings on the drill motors, therefore, two different speeds, or I should say RPMs. It takes a little research and a tat bit of thinking but its easy. I am sure anyone can figure out theoretically the perfect gearing for the wheels.
For us, our theory came true and our speed is a between 4 and 5 MPH.

P.S. There is a chart of the motors in the white papers where you can find information like RPMS and current draw and all the good stuff. They are very, very, very handy.
