Thanks, I think a stock Epoch would do around 10km/h on the speed checker, so I think that setup would be adequate (a little slower than Epoch is OK too), though since my car is 1/32 scale and fairly heavy it might not accelerate too well.

Since I’m building the transmission myself I want to work out approximate ratios before I build it…

Have you tried one of those heli tail motors? I remember ph2t saying something about them having lots of torque, though they are designed to run on 6-7 cells so speed would be lacking I imagine. Of course a 2p lipo is an option, but I have little room to work with (the batts must be contained within a scale fuel tank).
