Re: Getting more range out of a 4 wheel shooter

The CIMple Box uses a 12:56 reduction. Assuming you are using 6" wheels (just for example purposes), you'll be going approximately 921.66 rpm, which would be 15.36 rotations per second. If you take out that reduction of the CIMple Box, your wheels will be going at approximately 4301 rpm, which would be about 71.68 rotations per second, which is about 466% faster than your original speed with the CIMple Boxes.

tl;dr? Taking out the CIMple boxes will allow you to shoot much farther.

Show this to the person building the shooter.

Hope this helps!
