Default Internal Drive Ratio

To figure the internal drive ratio of your car you divide the number of teeth on the diff gear by the number of teeth on the drive pulley.

Example: 32 teeth on diff gear divided by 18 teeth on the drive pulley. 32/18 = 1.77 internal drive ratio

Final drive ratio is spur gear divided by pinion times internal drive ratio.

Example: 128/32*1.77 = 7.08

Rollout is tire diameter times Pi(3.14) divided by final drive ratio.

Example: 2.28*3.14/7.08 = 1.01

Hope this helps,
