How to use this calculator
- • Enter your current pinion and spur tooth counts to establish a baseline.
- • Enter a new setup to compare, or click any cell in the chart to set it as the new setup.
- • Search for your car model to auto-fill the internal ratio.
- • Add rear tire diameter to calculate rollout — the distance traveled per motor revolution.
- • Positive change = higher ratio = more torque and acceleration.
- • Negative change = lower ratio = higher top speed, but more strain on the motor.
- • Want the actual mph? The RC speed calculator turns your gearing, motor Kv, and voltage into a top-speed number.
- • Your settings are automatically saved for your next visit.
