    to calculate inches per minute you times pi (3.141592) by the rpm of 1 motor and then by the diameter of the wheels in inches
    just a sec
    part 2 coming in a min

    OK that's inches per minute
    times by 2.54 to get cm a minute
    example. so 3.141592 x2,750rpm motors x 3inch wheels
    =
    25,918.2 inches per minute or 24mph
    but with 12inch wheels (30cm) it would do 98mph at top speed!

    OK so that's inches per min
    if I use
    2x 2,750rpm motors
    3 inch dia wheels
    then we do pi times everything
    2,750 (only 1 2750 having 2 motors does not mean you double it)
    x 3 (for the wheels in inches)
    x 3.141592
    that's 25,918.2
    or 24mph at top speed
    with 13 inch wheels it will do 98MILES PER HOUR! at top speed
    for a fw about 25mph is nice and fast

    25mph but naff all torque, you generally need gearing for drive motors unless you have really tiny wheels.

    Also, 25mph is probably way too fast unless you have near light speed reflexes. For reference 12v drill powered machines (550ish rpm at the wheel) go between 5 and 6.25mph on the different sized blue wheels and are plenty nippy enough.

    A nice plastic comparison table:

    Now if someone could tell me what each of the values mean that would be great.........

    THATS EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE!
