The wheel rpm is about 400 - 450 in theory. I worked out the speed by counting the track rotations from the video.
Here is the maths I used 1.5 meters track length 54 turns per minute 54 x 1.5 = 81 meters per minute 6o minutes p hour 81 x 60 = 4.860 KPH under load 51 turns 76.5 76.5 x 60 = 4.59 KPH Trying to work out what speed it needs to run to look scale. 72kph at 1/10th scale is I think 7.2kph?? Maybe. If that's the case I am too slow but somethings out somewhere I think. George On 3/3/09 12:28 PM, "Tango71" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Got a question.
