Title: Re: Gear ratio [TANKS]

Horsepower will make you go fast.

 

Torque will get you thru the rough terrain and up the hills.

I used to find this confusing myself but torque does not directly convert to horsepower, Watts does.
If u have figures on your motors like you posted , you should also have its watts at max power etc.
If it does the equation is 746 watts equals one horsepower.

The drill motors I have a max RPM of 18400 at maximum efficency and a 14 amp draw. At maximum power a RPM of 10500 at 51 amp draw. Which RPM should a person use for calculating  gear reduution transmision. Also at maximum power it has a torque reading of 418.24 m-Nm what does that equal in horse power.
