Pit Calc Pro lets you calculate gear ratios, rollout, corner weights, oil viscosity, and more!
Off-road racers usually think in gear ratio (spur ÷ pinion).
Loading a preset fills the values for that class — tweak from there to match your car.

Gear ratio by pinion & spur
Gear ratio = spur / pinion (no internal multiplication). Off-road racers typically think in this number. Cells are shaded relative to your current setup — green for combos with less motor load (taller gearing), red for more motor load (shorter gearing, more top speed).

The gear ratio calculator shows the percentage change between two specific setups — useful for quick gearing swaps between rounds.
Open RC Gear Ratio Calculator →How to read this chart
- • Gear ratio = spur ÷ pinion. Just the visible gear math, no diff reduction. Off-road racers typically think in this number.
- • FDR (final drive ratio) = gear ratio × internal ratio. Touring and drift racers typically think in FDR.
- • Rollout = π × tire diameter ÷ FDR. Distance per motor revolution. Foam-tire racers (1/12 pan, on-road carpet) think in rollout because tire diameter shrinks during a heat.
- • Internal ratio is your car's gearbox reduction past the spur — off-road buggies are typically 2.4–2.6:1, touring/drift 1.9:1, 1/12 pan 1.0 (direct drive). Use the car search to auto-fill it for any supported model.
- • Cells are colored relative to the chart range, not an absolute scale.
- • Click any cell to set your pinion and spur centers. Your inputs are saved in this browser for next visit.
