Re: DC Motor and Gearing

Yes, gear ratios add like you stated.
WRONG - Gear radios multiply. Oops.

You can use the last 40 tooth gear for the output, or another one of the same size (but why?) for 1:1 if you like.

The peak current from a battery may surprise you, but I^2R losses in the wiring will keep that peak current well below the theoretical 92 Amps. The 12 volt lead-acid battery FIRST uses can deliver 720 Amps for 3 seconds... So a small lead-acid will run your starter no problem.
