What I wanted to imply was that inches and mm could be done at the same time not one or the other by using separate output boxes

I noticed that Mike B. did his tire size in inches so I wanted to supply equal reference of measurement standards

1 inch = 25.4 mm

When you go to a track or get a new car and have a known wheel diameter, known spur, and a known target roll out, you can plug in the constants and get your target spur without having to guess. That especially helps newbs get into the right range their first time out.

Rollout x Spur / Pi (3.14159) / Tire Diameter (mm) = Pinion

Hi so formula's go:

1. Pi X pinion X Tire Diameter / spur = Rollout
2. Rollout x Spur / Pi (3.14159) / Tire Diameter (mm) = Pinion
3. ? = Spur
4. ? = Tire Diameter

Any math geeks out there to do the final two formula's for the other two variable outputs 3 and 4?

Thanks

Thank you

you mean?:

3. Pi X pinion X Tire Diameter / rollout = Spur
4. (Rollout X spur) /(Pi X pinion) = Tire Diameter

BTW I did not check your math...

Yes those are correct and might I say I appreaciate your assistance

I just want the best tool for helping people with pancar gearing calculations

Again thank you

Actually your rollout is wrong as it does not include the transmission ratio.

It should be:

rollout = Pi*Tire_Diameter/((spur_teeth/pinion_teeth)*trans_ratio)

(e.g. trans ration is 1:1 for a direct drive)

e.g. xray t3:

tire dia = 63mm
spur = 96
pinion = 45
trans = 1.9

rollout = 48.83

Thanks again

Tried to do seperate output box's

Well this was tried but it is harder than expected to work with output boxes

I mean it kinda works but for right now just use the old unless you have idea's

I think Linux have to use wine installed to have access to MS apps and for apple hardware/software I am unsure

I think another build might come that gives output for not just rollout but tire size, pinion and spur

Also I might include a input box for special ratios for non-pancar applications

However, rollout will be default and on top of the other input boxes as well as 1:1 ration be default

We will see
