no im not 13 im actually 20. I like doing stuff just to say I did it even tho I didn't need it haha

great, that means you had one or two lessons of decency already,
one way or another

The essence of my previous post remains untouched:
a) stay safe!
b) it'll be expensive.

So I still think it'd be a better idea to see what a governor removal and high flow in/out can do for you,
and then google around for performance parts.
billet flywheel & conrods first, valve springs stuff like that.

ok I figured how im going to do it thanks to you guys. now just to find the parts

So what are you going to do...
Dont leave us hanging....

well depending how it all goes together when I get the frame built it will either be the RAGB connected to motor than clutch ran back to the axle or clutch on motor chain ran down a few inches to the RAGB and than from that to the axle

Do the latter version....

Do the latter version....

is that the one where I go from clutch to RAGB than axle?

Hm, I think Tony's first suggestion is what will be the best possible solution here atm.

Engine->clutch->chain-> turning shaft-> RAGB-> chain ->Rear axle

the second option has the RAGB on the front of the kart, from there you would need a really long chain to get to the rear axle, and in between quite a handfull of idlers to keep it where you want it.
with a turning shaft, you don't have to worry about that.

Gotta go Engine/clutch, to sprocket on shaft. Shaft turns the RGB in back, which spins the axle via another sprocket/chain.....

that's what I said, yes.

well I didn't mentioned the sprockets, since I thought mentioning the chain would imply the use of sprockets

Well, that's how I understood what Tony suggested a few posts back.
And thinking about it, it's way more reliable than adding the RAGB to the clucth and driving a chain all the way from the front to the back of the kart.
And it seems to be cheaper than to find a cardan shaft which actually is the same setup but without a chain and sprockets..
(but with gears instead)

I was simply agreeing/reiterating what was said..... And yes,, it's a safer/easier way to install the RGB.

Sorry Jim, I misunderstood ..

Well, that's how I understood what Tony suggested a few posts back.

Almost but, instead of a RAGB, I suggested a transaxle, with the shaft connected directly to the input shaft...

Just comes down to cost preferences....
