Speed Calculator

[lutach]

theoretical top speed not the drag adjusted one. I guess the torque of the 1521/1Y was enough to push it through the air.

I find the thoretical top speed closer most of the time. I'm not really sure that the drag adjusted thing is all that accurate. Seems like WAY to many variables to accurately estimate them all. Its cool that it tries to do it though.

Brian... I'm interested in this "project" also. If it is what I think it is it will be an awesome addition around here.

Just for giggles, what do you think it is? Not that I'll say if you're right or not.

Is it a.... database similar to your motor selector and speed calculator to be used as a system builder and component selector for selecting all of the components you need to do a conversion for most of the common vehicle conversions? You select your vehicle and then choose basic options and it selects the components you need to do your conversion. Not just a motor selector, but a whole setup selector. Motor mount, battery tray, pinion gears, everything you needed for a specific conversion.

Top all that off with a "Buy Now" button at the bottom and have it all load into the cart and you would have a beautiful system.

Question. What unit of measure is the weight suppossed to be in? lb's or kg?

[Gee]

For like the vehicle weight? LBS IIRC

[marcus]

yep, the vehicle weight on the calculator.

IIRC ?

Depends on what you want to convert to
like from kilos to pounds

[BrianG]

You are probably referring to the motor selector page? Yeah, that's in pounds. Sorry guys.

For future reference, assume "standard" measures when not specified (inches, pounds, mph, etc).

I really gotta do an update it seems. There are several items to fix/add now. Maybe this weekend...

Had to ask about that one myself. IIRC If I remember correctly.

[BrianG]

IIRC is indeed If I Remember Correctly.

FYI: Small update is up:

- Added CEN Matrix diff/spur
- Removed "drag adjusted" speed from the "Top Speed Estimator" page because there are too many variables to be useful.
- Added clarification for vehicle weight in the "Motor Selector" page.
- Added a "Scale Speed Calculator" page. Yeah, not really useful, but it was easy to do so why not?

Brian anyway you can add the CEN Nemesis 7.7??

Thanks

[Arct1k]

I'm sure he will but you have to supply the ratios...

[BrianG]

Yep, supply the two tooth counts and I'll add them...
