I'm coming from 1/8 scale. To tell the truth I have no idea what roll out is.

Rollout is the amount the car will move forward for one revolution of the motor shaft. Check out the spreadsheet I posted before for figuring out rollout easily.

ok try this one
http://www.rctech.net/forum/4792583-post5349.html

different link to the same target. i copied Joe's spreadsheet and made only two small changes, i 'painted' every fourth column and row grey for easier navigation, and added 2 columns that relate #teeth and diameter for spurs (i don't trust myself to recall what spur is installed). the only problem is that you need to print multiple copies for each spur size because people will ask you for one.

notice your long arm, what's the difference between the short and long arm?
