Gear Ratio's - Need some Math Help
 
Ok, so I am trying to figure out my final gear ratio and all those other gear ratios, so I can input them into my data logger...

Here is what I have so far.

Spur Gear - 44T
Pinion Gear - 13T
For a Primary Drive Ratio: 3.38

Front / Rear Diff Ratio: 4.30

Final Drive Ratio: 14.53

This is in a RC8e... Stock front/rear diff gears.

Does this look right?

Looks right to me

You need to get ahold of Tonys screws, he has a sweet gearing calculator that will do everything you need.

how do you figure out gear ratio's???

divide the big number by the little number.

whats the big number and whats the little number? When you divide those two you get a decimal, what is that number?

It's like this -
Spur / pinion = primary drive ratio

front/rear diffs - Big gear / Little gear = Diff Ratio

You take the Primary Drive Ratio * Diff Ratio = Final Drive Ratio

So in my case...

44/13 = 3.38
F/R ratio = 4.30
Final Drive Ratio - 3.38 * 4.30 = 14.53
