Interpret the Result
- Lower final ratio usually means more top speed and less mechanical advantage.
- Higher final ratio usually means more torque, cooler motor temps, and slower top speed.
- Rollout helps compare setups across different tire diameters.
- Small gearing changes can push motor and ESC temperatures hard, so recheck temps after testing.
