I think she will pull quite well. but I need your input too.
Gearing the car. Say a car’s weight is .
My rover 1000kg 97bhp/100lb’s toque aprox 5 gears.
Can pull away in 2nd easy, 3rd slow but can be done without frashing
Car B = 500kg 4 wheel drive 2 engines 400bhp/200+toque would this have enough
Power to pull away like in 3rd compared to the standard car or better 2nd as haft the weight ect.

Timing the engine's rpm to wheel rotation this is were my starting point will be, this was not my box ratios but will do to help explain Gear Ratio


1st gear 2.97:1
2nd gear 2.07:1
3rd gear 1.43:1
4th gear 1.00:1


Will possibly use 2 x 36 tooth sprockets to give me a 1 to 1 starting point?
