Hey everyone, hope you're all having a great summer. I just have a quick question in relation to the kit motors and gearing basics. Gearing has always been our team's weak point so I figure I may as well get started early while I can. So, my question is simple: when doing gearing calculations which
specs do I use motor-wise? Do I use the free load speeds, max efficiency speeds, or some other number?
Hopefully you guys are still reading..
