i made this because i was bored, and because i wanted to know my top speed not my rollout. i think i got it right, so if theres anything wrong tell me.

btw its defaulted to an 'out of the box' HPI E10. and as it says, only edit the yellow cells or you'll break it

if you have no internal gear ratio, then set it to 1.

p.s i added an extra unit of speed for all you speed freaks!

from what I saw, theres no Pi in your formulas anywhere, and your overall gear ratio needs to be spur/pinion * internal gear ratio.

you can fudge aerodynamic drag by multiplying by .95 or .8 or pick a number less than 1, or you could figure out/find the formula for drag

good luck

hmm strange, it seems to work..... i know, i should replace diameter with circumfrence.

i'm still not sure how to work out inernal gear ratio. i did it as 7.48 (final ratio) minus 4.25 (spur/pinion)... total bodge job!

oh and aerodynamic drag is exponential (or is it squared or cubed) anyway it isnt linear....


EDIT: a bit of trial and error later i seem to have my internal gear ratio sorted, but still no formula... it works as logn as you know it!

EDIT: it wont work.. somethings wrong :'(

EDIT: ok i got it working! there were some relics in the equations from when i was working in millimeters.

ok it seems to work now.

btw this is just a bump TTT

EDIT: now changed tyre diameter into MM from meters

bump, just in case someone actually cares.


p.s. IT WORKS!

anybody got an idea of the RPM of a 4.5R brushless motor?

Kv * volts

so for a 6600kv motor it's 6600*7.2(or 7.4 if running lipo)
