Gear/Motor combinations and results.
 

So I tested all the possible combinations of gears and motors I have on our track and these are my findings.

Please keep in mind that this is relevant to our track, and may not be applicable to other tracks, especially low traction tracks. Ours is covered in canvas cloth. Also these results were using recently cleaned motors and graphite lubricated drivetrains in a Booster chassis for optimum performance.

Bit Setups - Boosters

1st = Blue Gear
2nd = Orange Gear
3rd = Green Gear

1.0 motor - Blue
1st = Stupid Slow
2nd = Slow
3rd = Slightly Less Slow

1.6 "Dragon" motor - Dark Green
1st = Pokey
2nd = Decent
3rd = Spins Bad

2.2 motor - Lime Green
1st = Spins Bad
2nd = Fast - Handles Great
3rd = Faster - Spins Some

2.6 motor - Orange
1st = Spins Bad
2nd = Very Fast - Turns Wide
3rd = Too Fast - Flips/Spins

3.0 motor - Red
1st = Spins Bad
2nd = Fast - Turns Wide -
- Steering Sticks/Spins
3rd = Steering Sticks/Spins

Custom Motor (pager vibrator)
1st = Slow/Spins
2nd = Quick/Hard -
- to Steer
3rd = Accels Slow -
- Wants to Spin/Flip

heh...what exactly is "pokey" referred to in the 1.6 motor?

A little above slow I guess. I'm going to have to get me a radar gun now. I saw a consumer grade 'gun somewhere...only registered 150 though. :D
