  • Page 87 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!
