Err... thanks guys. And to those can't get it right in Japanese Acrobat. You can refer it here .. Translated version but i can't get the rpm formula right at the end..sorry Anybody know about the formula..
speed = rollout x RPM x 60 / FDR

You probably missed the 60, as RPM is per minute, whereas speed is per hour.

Rollout is already PI x Tire Diameter / FDR. You're including the FDR twice in the formula. Plus you need to divide by 1000000 to convert milimeter to kilometer.

not in his chart. his rollout was calculated using diameter x pi.

No wonder the tire rollout is always at 197.8 !

The real tire rollout calculation includes FDR.

Rollout = PI x Tire Diameter / FDR

You use the rollout chart to determine your gear ratios and tire diameters accordingly for a certain track.

Thanks esham. Excellent work. However, I don't deserve the credit. This chart came from either the Kyosho Japanese web site or some other Japanese RC site. I just downloaded it and passed it along...

Really excellent work! Thank you..

I've just put together an excel spreadsheet with the calculations for Gear Ratios. It lets you enter your numbers tires dia/rpm and so on and calculates the result based on this wonderful chart.. PM me if you'd like a copy..

I did,.... T-1031 works better (highly noticeable when using OS engines), did a modified hand-made version of a T-1031 too for tight tracks,... rocket acceleration when mated w/ 12 TR(P)T,....

Thanks! True, the acceleration was super! Thought it was just only design for the 12TR, but was working very well w/ my TT12S1.

hey dudes, found out that you should get the kawa internal gear set to make the 05R reaaly shine at the top end. saw an o5r with rr12 l5 beat another one with the same setup but with max s5 on the straights!...i guess i will find a set for sale if lucky. anyone else running the kawa set? appreciate any advice or responses

That's already as expected.

Buddy, if I recall correctly, your problem seems to be with the pipe you have. That should be the first thing you replace. If your pipe is not working well, the gear set will not help you either.
