Hi OldMiniBikes.
I just purchased a tav 30 Chinese copy with a 10 tooth sprocket. For my off road go kart.
So at the moment my gear ratio is 4.8:1(10 drive sprocket and a 48 wheel sprocket) with a 13" tire.
Driver and kart weighs roughly 370ish lb. At the moment on hard ground it hits the 4500 max rpm easy enough ( not do much on the softer Sandy ground)
Question 1: do you think the torque converter belt will handle the extra rmp/hp?
Question 2: is with the torque converter running the same gearing do you think I will still hit top rpm with the od? As the ratio I'd going to be less than 4.8:1. Or should I get a 9 tooth sprocket?
Thanks
Neil
