Squee: Cool, that makes things a little easier. I actually figured the LMTs to have a higher ideal rpm since they have better bearings and magnet structures.

fagzz: I'll have to think on the idea about using vehicle weight as a factor for speed. I still think there are a lot more variables that affect speed like; tire size (width), bearing drag, drivetrain drag, wind resistance, terrain, drive angle (uphill/downhill), and so on.

The calculator is really not that hard. The actual "work" is only about 10 lines of code. The rest is error trapping, input varification, visual appearance, and other "bells and whistles". The same thing could be done (and has) been done in Excel.

Thanks!
