I've been trying to get some speed runs done with the GPS strapped in, but it has been raining all weekend. There are theoretical calculations and then there is real world. Serum's calculation had 1.05 volts per cell instead of 1.2. This is an example of what really happens. RCM Mike said 1.05 was more realistic with NiMH under load. The kV rating on the motors might not be accurate either under load. Temperatures look to be a better indicator of what truly can be done to fine tune gearing.
