Default Re: Motor Selection

25 RPM sounds like it's in the right ball park for speed and power. What you need to do is figure out your tire diameter, and then run the math to figure out it's actual MPH, at full speed, or the feet per second of travel. Just figure out your tire diameter, figure out the circumferance, and multiply the distance traveled per hub or gearhead motor revolution. That will let you know how fast the model will be.
