Speed Calculator

[BrianG]

I'm glad someone can use it! It started as a simple Excel file just for my use but I figured more people might find a use so I ported it over to HTML/Javascript to be easily viewed on any computer anywhere. For those inclined, I made it easily customizable by opening the file and adding whatever other parameters you need. Of course you'd have to save it to your computer first...

Yeah, I suppose I could put the heat relationships on there, but there is already a sticky Batfish put together and I don't want to simply steal it. If he reads this and says it's ok, then I might.

I don't put runtimes because you'd have to enter the capacity of the batteries (one more thing to enter) and even then it depends on a LOT of other variables (weight, driving style, etc) and would be a VERY rough guess at best. As it is, the speed calculator is used to get a general idea of the top speed. There will be variations because of those same variables. Like you said, it's a starting point.

My next addition will be a little section to calculate the diameter of a gear depending on how many teeth there are and the gear pitch. Maybe not as useful in a general way, but earlier I was trying to figure out how big different gears would be and it would have come in handy. Beats calculating it out the long way each time!
