I don't see why there's such an issue with it. It would be one number added on to the speed calculator results. Rollout is an important number when gearing, and even if you don't agree with the 1:1 ratio it still is good to know the rollout on your vehicle. If people think it's just some useless number they can ignore it, but others may be able to benefit quite a bit and save themselves a puffed lipo or fried ESC.

BrianG: You seemed a little interested at least, so I'm not sure what others will say, but I still think it would be a nice calculation to add on. I think my first post maybe went overboard and people are thinking this is some big complicated thing.
