Pit Calc Pro lets you calculate top speed, gear ratios, corner weights, oil viscosity, and more!
Enter motor Kv, voltage, and tire diameter to calculate speed
Gear ratio: 4.00:1 · FDR: 4.00:1
How to use this calculator
- • Enter your pinion and spur tooth counts to establish your gear ratio.
- • Search for your car to auto-fill the internal ratio and calculate the full final drive ratio (FDR).
- • Enter your motor's Kv rating — found on the motor label or spec sheet.
- • Select your battery voltage from the quick-select chips, or type it in manually for LiHV or other chemistries.
- • Measure your rear tire outer diameter in millimeters and enter it above.
- • The speed grid shows how swapping pinion or spur gears changes top speed at your current Kv, voltage, and tire size.
- • Click any cell in the grid to update your pinion and spur selection instantly.
- • Results are theoretical maximum speeds assuming 100% motor efficiency and no drivetrain losses.
- • Your settings are automatically saved for your next visit.
