I ordered the clutch 12t, and i ordered the wheel sprocket 60t
# 35 chain. but this weekend its on!!!lol ill be welding on the motor mounting plate. bolting the sprocket to the wheel and lining everything up. anything on your kart ?

[WHIMPEYROSS]

i had my work put a key on the shaft also i got the clutch and the wheel sprocket. i also made the foot plate and welded it on. i have not did anything with the mounting plate for the motor yet.

 

[WHIMPEYROSS]

here is the sprocket mounted on the wheel. i just got this done this morning!

 

[r_chez_08]

nice. i like the wheel, although hf. i found with my wheel so far away from the sprocket, the sprocket almost hits the ground, so have now bought some 14" quad tyres.

Try not to give it full throttle on pavement, with those tires. I know it's fun, but paying for tires aint. $30 a pair for me.

 

[WHIMPEYROSS]

I hope my sprocket does not hit the ground. and yes HF wheels are bad, but i just want to see how bad...lol.
being my kart is so little I can't really put any bigger tires on.
but as od now so far so good!

 

[r_chez_08]

your sprocket is right next to the wheel, you should have no problem... mine was 30cm away from the wheel, and had 1/2" below it!!!!!

 

[WHIMPEYROSS]

yeiks.. that's close!!

 

[r_chez_08]

i know, would have been fine on tarmac or FLAT concrete tracks, but not were i live. that i y i bought bigger wheels!!!!

 

[bigfootrules31]

is is only going to be one wheel drive?

 

[r_chez_08]

look at thread 69 and 70. "what are you using for an axle" "bolt" "oh ok 1wd"

Here's some "Slick" replacement tires for those rims that don't cost alot and will outlive the HF tires by who knows how long. Got a set for the Treefrog.
...it was $44 for 4 tires including shipping.

I linked to those earlier, but great contribution anyway mate!

 

[r_chez_08]

i know, i just thought that they might be useful to WHIMPEYROSS. thanks for the link earlier, but as i am in the uk, it is no use.

 

[WHIMPEYROSS]

WOW... thanks to the both of you!!
i really like the slicks from EBAY. i think i will buy them!!
