Copper Tungsten (à la Tim Watson)
"As an example, the 14xx chassis kit uses a 30:1 worm and then a 14:16
step down. This gives a total reduction of about 34:1 which I think is
a shade on the low side, bearing in mind the 10mm diameter drivers.
On the same centres as the 14:16 combo, a 12:18 gear pair would fit
and with a 30:1 gear, this gives a 45:1 reduction, which I personally
would prefer. This is what I'm putting into my 14xx chassis, albeit
old stock Imperial 64DP which I have in my gloat box. My 14xx is a
becoming a bit like "Trigger's Broom", having changed chassis and body
at least once and it's not even finished yet. I started the project
in 1983..."

Gear Ratio = Motor RPM x Wheel Dia. (mm) x 0.018 / Prototype Speed (mph)
16500 x 10 x 0.018 / 60? = 49.5! Thus 30:1 and 12:18 = 45:1
