We can compute Dune's gear ratio by focusing on the three gears in the highlighted blue box that drives the front axle. A 1:1 gear ratio means that the Motor & the wheel axles spin at the same speed. G E A R R A T I O G E A R R A T I O G E A R R A T I O G E A R R A T I O...

For each stage, the 8-tooth axle is spinning 3 times faster than the 24-tooth axle. The axle from the first stage, now 3 times faster, is the input to the second stage. Again, the speed is increased 3 times, for a total gear ratio of 9:1. The wheels are spinning 9 times faster than the motor!
