Transmission System
A system or way of transmitting power or energy from the motor/power source to the driving device: or what ever is in contact with the road/playing surface.
(For example: wheels, tank treads, propeller, etc.)

3. Transmission
A vehicle's transmission is the machinery that brings the power produced by the engine to the wheels.
Automatic transmission: enables a vehicle to change gears without being controlled by the driver.
If a car has a manual transmission, the gears are changed by the driver.

Differential

31. Differential Gearing A differential will allow the wheels
This is not part of your kit inventory but I include it.
A differential will allow the wheels
to spin at different speeds or directions

32. Types of Drives that you can construct
Two Wheel Drive
Four Wheel Drive
Front Wheel Drive
Rear Wheel Drive
Direct Drive

33. Speed: Distance traveled within a specified time period Examples MPH
Miles /Per/Hour
FPS
Feet/Per/Second
RPM
Revolutions/Per/ Minute
If I were a “Gary” the snail I might want your speed measured in
Inches/Per/Hour

34. Torque
Rotational force: the amount of power the driving device has when in contact with the road, track, etc.

35. A combination of speed and torque will work well for this project
