Understanding C-Ratings
C-rating is a measure of how quickly a battery can be charged or discharged relative to its maximum capacity, expressed as a multiple of the battery's capacity (in amp-hours) per hour. As an example, a 5000mAh battery with a 25C rating can discharge at 125A (5000mAh × 25 = 125,000mA = 125A).
Marketing vs Reality: Manufacturer C-ratings are often inflated for marketing purposes. Real-world performance is typically 30-50% lower than advertised ratings. Internal resistance testing (see Battery C-Rating Calculator) provides more accurate performance data. Always operate well below claimed ratings for longevity and safety.
Discharge vs Burst: Most batteries list both continuous and burst C-ratings. Use continuous ratings for sustained loads. Burst ratings are only safe for brief periods (10-30 seconds).
Charge C-Rating: Most LiPo batteries should be charged at 1C or lower for safety and longevity. Higher charge rates (2C-5C) require balanced charging and can reduce cycle life.
Battery Chemistry
Modern RC applications are dominated by lithium-based cells due to their superior energy density and power delivery. Understanding the differences between chemistries helps you choose the right battery for your application.
Lithium Polymer (LiPo): Standard lithium chemistry with 3.7V nominal voltage (4.2V fully charged, 3.0V minimum). Most common in RC due to excellent balance of power, capacity, and cost. Uses lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) cathodes.
Lithium High Voltage (LiHV): Modified lithium chemistry allowing 4.35V maximum charge vs 4.2V for standard LiPo. Provides ~8% more capacity and voltage in the same package. Uses lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (LiNiMnCoO2 or NMC) cathodes. Requires charger with LiHV mode.
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4): Lower voltage (3.2V nominal, 3.65V max) but extremely stable chemistry with superior safety and cycle life. Less energy dense than LiPo but virtually impossible to ignite. Popular for applications where safety is paramount. Uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cathodes.
Lithium Ion (Li-ion): Similar voltage to LiPo (3.6-3.7V nominal, 4.2V max) but in rigid cylindrical cells rather than soft pouches. Higher energy density and better longevity than LiPo, but lower discharge rates. Common in consumer electronics; less common in high-performance RC. Uses various cathode chemistries including NMC and NCA (nickel cobalt aluminum).
Technical Details: Cathode Chemistry
Lithium battery performance is determined by both cathode and anode materials. The cathode (positive electrode) primarily dictates voltage, energy density, and safety characteristics, while the anode (negative electrode) affects capacity and charge/discharge rates.
Anode Chemistry: Modern lithium batteries universally use graphite-based anodes (carbon in layered structure) that intercalate lithium ions during charging. The graphite anode operates at approximately -3.0V vs Li/Li+, giving lithium cells their high voltage. Advanced formulations may include silicon additives to increase capacity—silicon can store more lithium than graphite (Li₄.₄Si vs LiC₆), but suffers from expansion/contraction issues that reduce cycle life. Hobby-grade RC batteries use standard graphite anodes optimized for high discharge rates rather than maximum capacity.
Cathode Chemistry: The cathode material determines a lithium battery's nominal voltage, energy density, power delivery, safety, and lifespan. While all lithium batteries share similar graphite anodes and lithium-ion electrolytes, the cathode chemistry varies significantly:
LiCoO2 (aka LCO) (Lithium Cobalt Oxide) - Standard LiPo: High energy density and excellent voltage characteristics make this the dominant RC chemistry. Cobalt provides good electrical conductivity and stable discharge curves. Trade-offs: lower thermal stability than alternatives, cobalt is expensive and has ethical sourcing concerns. Best for: high-performance RC where weight and power matter most.
NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) - LiHV: Engineered blend that pushes voltage ceiling to 4.35V. Nickel increases capacity, manganese improves thermal stability, cobalt maintains power delivery. The higher voltage allows ~8% more energy in the same package. Trade-offs: requires compatible charger, slightly shorter cycle life than standard LiPo. Best for: maximizing runtime in weight-constrained applications.
LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate): Phosphate-based chemistry sacrifices energy density for exceptional safety and longevity. Iron phosphate bonds are extremely stable—cells won't ignite even when punctured or overcharged. Provides 2000+ cycles vs 300-500 for LiPo. Trade-offs: lower voltage (3.2V vs 3.7V) means more cells needed for same voltage, heavier per watt-hour. Best for: applications prioritizing safety, longevity, or high-discharge applications where extra weight is acceptable.
NCA (Nickel Cobalt Aluminum) - High-end Li-ion: Tesla's battery chemistry. Aluminum doping improves longevity and reduces cobalt content. Excellent energy density and cycle life. Trade-offs: lower discharge rates than LiPo, typically only available in cylindrical cells (18650, 21700). Best for: long-duration applications where cycle life matters more than peak power.
Choosing your chemistry: LiPo (LiCoO2) for 95% of RC applications. LiHV (NMC) when you need maximum runtime in minimum space. LiFePO4 for safety-critical applications or when you want 5+ years of heavy use. Li-ion (NCA) for scale builds where authentic battery packs enhance realism.
Legacy Chemistries (NiMH/NiCd)
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH): 1.2V nominal (1.45V peak) per cell. Lower voltage and energy density than lithium but very safe and tolerant of abuse. No risk of fire. Common in budget RC and legacy applications. Suffers from higher self-discharge and memory effect.
Nickel Cadmium (NiCd): 1.2V nominal (1.5V peak) per cell. Older technology with excellent discharge characteristics but contains toxic cadmium. Memory effect requires full discharge cycles. Largely obsolete in modern RC due to environmental concerns and superior alternatives.
Why lithium dominates: A 2S LiPo (7.4V nominal) delivers similar voltage to a 6-cell NiMH pack (7.2V nominal) while weighing 50-60% less and occupying less space. The weight savings directly improve vehicle performance and runtime efficiency.
Battery Safety
LiPo/LiHV Safety (Most Critical):
- Voltage Limits: Never discharge below 3.0V per cell. Store at 3.8V per cell for maximum lifespan
- Temperature: Stop using if battery becomes hot to touch (>60°C / 140°F). Allow cooling before charging
- Physical Damage: Never use swollen, punctured, or damaged batteries. Dispose of properly
- Storage: Store in fireproof container away from flammable materials. Check voltage monthly
- Charging: Always use a proper LiPo balance charger. Never leave charging unattended
Other Chemistry Safety
LiFePO4: Much safer than LiPo with minimal fire risk. Never discharge below 2.5V per cell. Store at 3.3V per cell. Can tolerate more abuse but still requires proper charger with LiFePO4 mode.
Li-ion: Similar voltage limits to LiPo (3.0V min, 4.2V max) but in rigid cells. Less prone to swelling but can still vent if abused. Always use protected cells or a BMS for multi-cell packs.
NiMH: Very safe chemistry - cells don't chain-react into fire easily even when shorted, though shorting can still generate significant heat. Can be discharged to 1.0V per cell. Avoid trickle charging indefinitely. Store at room temperature with partial charge.
NiCd: Contains toxic cadmium - dispose properly at battery recycling centers. Similar voltage limits to NiMH (1.0V min). Benefits from occasional full discharge cycles.
Battery C-Rating Calculator
Calculate the real C-rating of your battery based on measured internal resistance and capacity.
Results
Overall battery performance metric combining capacity and internal resistance. Higher is better. Calculated as 12000 ÷ (IR × capacity).
Purpose: FOM provides a normalized, dimensionless metric for comparing battery performance across different sizes and chemistries—allowing you to objectively compare a 5000mAh 4S pack against a 3000mAh 6S pack, for example.
Typical ranges: <0.8 (poor/worn), 0.8-1.0 (average hobby grade), 1.0-1.5 (good quality), 1.5-2.0 (premium), >2.0 (exceptional/competition grade).
Usage Guide
Cell Selection
For multi-cell battery packs, internal resistance varies between cells due to manufacturing tolerances and usage patterns. Testing the weakest cell ensures your C-rating calculation accounts for the limiting factor in your pack's performance.
Why the highest IR cell? In a series configuration, the cell with the highest resistance will heat up fastest and reach its voltage cutoff first, limiting the entire pack's discharge capability.
How to identify: Use a quality battery charger or IR meter to test each cell individually. Record all measurements and use the highest value for this calculator.
Accurate Measurements
Internal resistance measurements are sensitive to battery state and environmental conditions. Following these guidelines ensures consistent, reliable results:
- Temperature: Measure at room temperature (20-25°C / 68-77°F). Cold batteries show higher IR, warm batteries show lower IR
- State of Charge: Ensure battery is at storage voltage (~3.8V per cell). IR varies with voltage level
- Equipment Quality: Use a dedicated IR meter or quality charger with IR measurement capability. Cheap meters can be inaccurate
- Multiple Readings: Take 3-5 measurements per cell and use the average. This accounts for measurement variation
- Contact Quality: Ensure clean, firm contact between meter probes and battery terminals. Poor contact increases measured resistance
Understanding Results
The calculations provided are based on simplified electrical models and empirical formulas. Real-world performance can vary due to:
- Temperature Effects: Battery performance degrades in cold weather and improves (to a point) in warm conditions
- Battery Age: IR increases as batteries age, reducing effective C-rating over time
- Load Characteristics: Burst vs sustained loads, voltage sag under load, and discharge curves all affect real performance
- Manufacturing Variance: Even identical batteries from the same batch can perform differently
Figure of Merit (FOM) Explained: FOM is a normalized performance index that accounts for the relationship between internal resistance and capacity. Unlike C-rating (which can be misleading when comparing different capacity batteries), FOM allows direct comparison across any battery size or chemistry. For example, a 2200mAh pack with 5mΩ IR yields FOM ≈ 1.09, while a 5000mAh pack with 8mΩ IR yields FOM ≈ 1.50. The larger pack has higher FOM due to density advantages—larger cells inherently have lower resistance per unit capacity. However, this doesn't mean the larger pack delivers more absolute current; rather, it's more efficient relative to its size. Both packs benefit equally from increased capacity when calculating maximum current. Use FOM to compare power density across different pack sizes, understanding that larger packs will generally score higher while still requiring more weight to deliver that performance.
Safety Margin: Always operate at 80% or less of calculated maximum current for longevity and safety. Reserve maximum ratings for short bursts only.
Formula Constants Explained
The formulas use empirically-derived constants based on LiPo chemistry characteristics and standardized testing conditions:
- 2500 constant (C-Rating): Derived from the relationship between internal resistance, capacity, and safe discharge rates for LiPo cells at nominal 3.7V. The formula C = 2500 ÷ √(IR × capacity) normalizes performance across different battery sizes.
- 6 constant (Max Current): Based on empirical testing of LiPo thermal limits and voltage sag characteristics. The formula I = √(6 × (capacity ÷ IR)) estimates maximum continuous current before excessive heat generation or voltage drop.
- 12000 constant (FOM): A normalized scaling factor that produces meaningful comparison values across battery sizes. FOM = 12000 ÷ (IR × capacity) creates a dimensionless metric where higher values indicate better power-to-weight performance.
These constants are approximations calibrated for typical hobby-grade LiPo batteries. Results may vary with different chemistries (LiHV, LiFePO4) or extreme operating conditions.
Gear Size Calculator
Calculate gear specifications. Edit any field and others will update automatically. Lock a section to keep it constant.
Usage Guide
Gear Terminology
Teeth (z): The number of tooth projections around a gear. More teeth means a larger gear diameter.
Pitch: The spacing between teeth. Meshing gears must have matching pitch. Three standards exist:
- Module (Mod): Metric standard used in modern RC. Pitch diameter in mm divided by tooth count.
- Diametral Pitch (DP): Imperial standard. Tooth count divided by pitch diameter in inches.
- Circular Pitch (CP): Arc distance between teeth in mm, measured along the pitch circle.
Diameters:
- Outside Diameter (OD): Total diameter measured to the tooth tips.
- Pitch Diameter (d): The effective diameter where gear teeth mesh. Used for ratio calculations.
Formulas:
- Pitch conversions: Module = 25.4 ÷ DP or Module = CP ÷ π
- From teeth: Pitch Diameter = Module × Teeth and OD = Module × (Teeth + 2)
- Find teeth: Teeth = Pitch Diameter ÷ Module or Teeth = (OD ÷ Module) − 2
Using the Calculator

Understanding Gear Ratios
Gear ratio determines how many times the input (motor/engine) must rotate to turn the output (wheels) once. Higher ratios provide more torque but less speed; lower ratios provide more speed but less torque.
Calculating Ratios: Divide the driven gear (spur) teeth by the driving gear (pinion) teeth. An 18-tooth pinion driving a 54-tooth spur gives 54÷18 = 3:1 ratio.
Overall Ratio: In multi-stage drivetrains, multiply all individual ratios together. A 3:1 motor ratio with a 3.5:1 differential ratio gives 10.5:1 overall.
Effect on Performance: Higher overall ratio = better acceleration, hill climbing. Lower overall ratio = higher top speed, less battery draw at cruising speed.
Drivetrain Configurations
Motor/Engine Stage: First gear reduction from motor pinion to spur gear. Usually 2.5:1 to 4:1 in most RC vehicles.
Transmission: Optional second stage found in some vehicles (e.g., Tamiya TT-02). Provides additional gear reduction between motor and diffs. Typically 2:1 to 3:1 in vehicles equipped with one.
Center Differential: Optional stage in some 4WD vehicles. Splits power front/rear while allowing speed differences.
Axle Differentials: Final drive gears at each axle. Allow left/right wheels to turn at different speeds during cornering.
Integrated Spur: Some vehicles combine the motor spur with center diff input. Check this option if your center diff gear meshes directly with the motor spur.
Tuning Your Gearing
Motor pinion changes are the easiest tuning method. Larger pinion = faster top speed, smaller pinion = better acceleration.
Overall Ratio Guidelines:
- Track Racing: 8:1 - 10:1 overall for maximum acceleration out of corners
- Bashing/Sport: 10:1 - 13:1 overall to balance speed and torque for varied terrain
- Speed Running: 13:1 - 16:1 overall for maximum top speed on smooth surfaces
- Rock Crawling: 30:1 - 60:1+ overall for maximum torque at low speeds
Motor Ratio Guidelines:
- Standard Range: 2.5:1 - 4:1 motor ratio for most applications
- Lower Pinion (Higher Motor Ratio): 3.5:1 - 4.5:1 reduces motor load, increases runtime, better for heavy vehicles
- Higher Pinion (Lower Motor Ratio): 2.5:1 - 3:1 increases top speed, higher motor RPM, more efficient on smooth surfaces
Motor Temp Check: If motor runs excessively hot (>170°F / 77°C), increase overall gear ratio by using a smaller pinion to reduce load.

How to Use
Basic Speed Calculation: Enter motor KV rating, battery voltage, pinion/spur teeth, and tire diameter. The calculator will show theoretical top speed.
Realistic Speed: Add vehicle weight, dimensions (or frontal area), drag coefficient, and select your surface type. The calculator will account for drag and rolling resistance to show realistic top speed.
Power Analysis: Add ESC current rating to see maximum power available and power-to-weight ratio.
Measuring Tire Diameter: Measure with the vehicle sitting normally (loaded diameter). This is smaller than the unloaded tire measurement.
Gear Input Modes: Use "Pinion/Spur" tab for basic pinion/spur setups. Switch to "Overall Ratio" tab to manually enter overall ratios from complex drivetrains (transmissions, differentials, etc.).
Understanding Results
Speed Reduction: Shows how much the gearing reduces motor RPM. Lower percentage = more torque multiplication. A 3.74:1 ratio gives 26.7% of motor speed at the wheels.
Theoretical vs Realistic Speed: Theoretical speed assumes no losses (perfect conditions). Realistic speed accounts for aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance. Real-world speed is always lower than theoretical.
Power-to-Weight Ratio: Indicates acceleration potential. 100 W/kg = good performance, 200+ W/kg = excellent acceleration and hill climbing.
Factors Affecting Top Speed: Lower gear ratio (higher speed gearing), higher voltage, reduced weight, better aerodynamics, larger tire diameter, and lower rolling resistance all increase top speed.
Tips for Accuracy
- Tire Diameter: Always measure under load (vehicle sitting normally). Loaded diameter is 2-5mm smaller than unloaded for most RC tires.
- Motor Efficiency: Brushless motors typically 85-90%, brushed motors 75-85%. Leave empty if unsure (assumes 100%).
- Frontal Area: Measure width and height at the widest/tallest points. The calculator multiplies these for area.
- Surface Selection: Choose the surface type that matches your driving conditions. Mixed surfaces? Use an average value.
- ESC Current: Use the continuous rating, not peak/burst rating. Check ESC specifications.
Improving Top Speed
Gearing Changes: Lower gear ratio (higher speed gearing) increases top speed but reduces acceleration and torque. Larger pinion or smaller spur gear lowers the ratio.
Voltage Increase: Higher voltage battery increases motor RPM proportionally. Always check motor and ESC voltage limits before upgrading.
Weight Reduction: Less weight means less rolling resistance and better power-to-weight ratio. Remove unnecessary parts, use lighter materials.
Aerodynamics: Streamlined body reduces drag coefficient. Remove roof racks, antennas, or other protruding parts. Lower ride height also helps.
Tire Selection: Larger diameter tires act like a lower gear ratio (more speed, less torque). Slick tires on smooth surfaces have lower rolling resistance than knobby tires.
Surface Choice: Smooth pavement has much lower rolling resistance than dirt, grass, or sand. Speed runs should be on smooth, flat surfaces.
Formulas
Motor & Drivetrain
Motor RPM: KV × Voltage × (Efficiency / 100)
KV rating represents motor speed per volt. Higher voltage = higher RPM. Efficiency defaults to 100% if not specified.
Gear Ratio (Simple): Spur Teeth ÷ Pinion Teeth
Example: 86T spur ÷ 23T pinion = 3.74:1 ratio. Higher ratio = more torque, lower speed.
Wheel RPM: Motor RPM ÷ Gear Ratio
Speed Reduction: (1 / Gear Ratio) × 100%
Example: 3.74:1 ratio = 26.7% of motor speed at the wheels.
Speed Calculations
Theoretical Speed (km/h): (Wheel RPM × π × Diameter(mm) × 60) / 1,000,000
Theoretical Speed (mph): km/h × 0.621371
Theoretical speed assumes zero losses (perfect conditions, no drag, no friction).
Resistance Forces
Rolling Resistance Force: (mass × 9.81) × Crr
The rolling resistance coefficient (Crr) represents energy lost as tires deform and interact with the surface. Smooth pavement: 0.02-0.03, Loose dirt: 0.08, Grass: 0.15, Sand: 0.25.
Aerodynamic Drag Force: 0.5 × ρ × v² × A × Cd
Where ρ = 1.225 kg/m³ (air density at sea level), v = velocity (m/s), A = frontal area (m²), Cd = drag coefficient. Drag increases with the square of velocity.
Power Metrics
Maximum Power: ESC Current × Voltage × Motors × (Efficiency / 100)
Uses ESC continuous current rating, not burst rating.
Power-to-Weight Ratio: Power (W) / Weight (kg)
100 W/kg = good, 200+ W/kg = excellent acceleration.
Multi-Motor Setups
For vehicles with multiple motors (dual-motor or quad-motor configurations):
- Enter the number of motors in the "Number of Motors" field
- Power output multiplies with each motor (2 motors = 2× power, 4 motors = 4× power)
- Each motor requires adequate ESC capacity - enter the total current available
- Motor KV, voltage, and efficiency should be the same for all motors
- Gear ratios typically identical across all motors, though some setups may vary

Usage Guide
Resistor Load Bank Purpose
A resistor load bank simulates electrical load for testing power sources like batteries, chargers, and power supplies. By controlling resistance and power dissipation, you can verify performance under realistic conditions.
Common Applications: Battery discharge testing, charger output verification, power supply burn-in testing, and ESC calibration.
Parallel vs Series: Parallel configurations provide lower resistance and higher current capability. Series configurations provide higher resistance and are better for high-voltage testing.
Safety Considerations
- Heat Management: Resistors dissipate power as heat. Use appropriate heatsinks or cooling. Temperature-rated wire connectors are essential
- Wattage Rating: Never exceed the combined wattage rating. The tables show theoretical maximum - stay at 80% or below for continuous use
- Ventilation: Operate in well-ventilated area. High-power loads can quickly overheat resistors and surrounding components
- Current Monitoring: Use a multimeter or current sensor to verify actual current draw. Start with lower voltages to verify calculations
- Wire Gauge: Use appropriately sized wire for expected current. Undersized wire creates resistance and heat
Reading the Tables
The voltage tables show performance at different battery cell counts for both LiPo (4.2V/cell fully charged) and LiHV (4.35V/cell fully charged).
- Red Values: Configurations where power dissipation exceeds the resistors' wattage rating. Avoid these or use appropriately rated resistors.
- Max Amps: Maximum safe continuous current based on resistor wattage rating. Actual current depends on voltage applied.
- Theoretical Amps: Calculated current draw using Ohm's law (V ÷ R). Does not account for resistor heating or voltage sag.
