You know you don't *have* to do this with gearing, right? Those motors are on speed controllers, so you can simply experiment with the speed values you send them once you have a proper control system in place. Many teams have reported great success with 2xCIM linear shooters, direct drive to the wheels, with the first one set about 60% speed.
