RMweb Gold Donw Posted January 16, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2017 What are the wheel diameters? If the driver is say, 14mm and the trailing wheel 7mm then how about a 2:1 gear between the two, and drive both? Scorpio do something like that with their 7mm Queen class Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be based on the ratio of the circumferences, not diameters. i.e. the length/distance that each wheel rolls to complete one revolution.

Chris Higgs Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 It would have to be based on the ratio of the circumferences, not diameters. i.e. the length/distance that each wheel rolls to complete one revolution. And that differs how? The circumference is simply the diameter multiplied by pi, and so the ratio is the same. 2:1. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
