Speed Calculator

[BrianG]

A few more changes:

09/03/2007:
- Added spurs for the E-Maxx, Ofna CR, Ofna CRT, Losi 8ight, and Losi 8ight-T
- Added warning for speeds at or over 45mph due to drivetrain drag, wind resistance, etc
- Added more explanation for the tire diameter input field. Some people were confusing this with *rim* diameter.
- Moved the MambaMax motors to the lower-end class (were in the mid-range class).

That motor torque calculation is still my favorite feature.

Man brian. This one has grown since last checked in. You been busy.

[BrianG]

lol, it grew little by little. I still remember "v1" and how comparatively simple that was.

[coolhandcountry]

What is that lastest updates brian?

[BrianG]

I really don't have anything to add as of yet. I was going to create some type of current draw estimator page, but didn't have enough samples of real-world data to extrapolate an accurate calculation. As usual, ideas are welcome.

If you can add the ratio's of the RC10GT, that would be great. I can't seem to find the ratio's of the tranny, but I'll keep looking.

The ratio is 2.60:1...

Even though the ratios are nice to have, I actually need the two gears that make up the ratio. I've found that people tend to round up/down ratios and I'd like to keep the precision as high as possible. So, if you could provide the tooth counts of the two gears that make up the ratio, that would be better.

[jnev]

Which two gears are used for the ratio? I am re builidng the tranny in the RC10GT hopefully today so I should be able to find the tooth count on the gears.

[BrianG]

Some systems are a little more difficult to calculate the ratio because the diff is part of the tranny. If you can find an exploded view of the tranny that has enough detail, I can figure it out...

BrianG,

You should add the Neu Motors 1521 and 1527 series to your motor selection in your speed calculator.

I found this exploded view:

And this link for the part numbers:
http://www.teamassociated.com/misc/d...e/db_kitgt.htm

Is that all you need?

[BrianG]

I'll look into adding the 1521/27 series motors. I was trying to limit to what Mike has in the store, but we'll see.

I looked at the RC10 exploded views and found that there are two spur options; 64T and 66T, both 32P. The diff "ring gear" is 52T, but nothing on the TA site says how many teeth on the pinion part of the diff. Also, it doesn't say how many teeth on the idler gear.

So, in order to add this truck to the list, I'll need the main shaft pinion (#6571) and the idler (#5570) tooth counts.

[BrianG]

OK, added the Neu 1521/27 series motors. Also did a couple other small things, but nothing visible to you guys. I'll wait to add the RC10gt stuff until I get more info...
