AnderKart, Awesome this is perfect! I already had a 1" axle so I'm gonna stick with it and see how it goes. Would of never been able to find this stuff without your help. I appreciate your time and effort!! I will update the forum to let you know how it goes. Thank you!!

AnderKart, I have had no luck either finding the correct size. I could do it but like you said it would be very pricey. I have found this but it is meant for roller chains. Could something like this possibly work do you think...

Hhahhaha love it, best thing I have seen in awhile

1 - CR80 is a 1998 (Putting a new top end on it) 2 - 15 teeth currently (I want to put a slightly bigger counter sprocket in so the rear sprocket can be smaller. I want to try to gear it for more torque then top speed. In my head since the kart has smaller tires then a dirt bike taking one...

oh I know that's what the rated specs are I know I wont be able to get that out of it but that's what its rated at. I know it wont pop wheelies and I don't want it to pop wheelies. Once set and done the kart should only be around 170 lbs. without a person. Thank you for your humble response!

Realistically it might not have enough power to do burnouts. The motor is only 80cc's but it is a two stroke (20.39 horsepower at 12,000 RPM's). The goal for it is to be a shifter kart which is a kart that has a clutch and is usually front braked so you can whip the rear and take sharp corners...

Thank you both!! I will update this discussion with pictures as I go.

Awesome, I'm understanding it now since its in simpler terms. One last things. For the sprocket for my chain. Should I just weld the sprocket onto the axle or what would you recommend?

Thank you for the response! What goes on the axle from preventing it from going side to side? or will the pillow block bearings do that?

I'm in a welding engineering program and for are sophomore year we are tasked with a project of anything we want. I choose to build a shifter kart thinking that it would be a great learning experience to figure out the mechanical side of things. I have completed the chassis and got an engine...
