$50 plus 2 weeks of shipping and about 3 hours of getting the sprocket to fit around the axle = one arm and leg. ($50 for me is a pretty chunk of change out of my pay check.) I'd like to ride it on both, but more so dirty

:mad2: :censored: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: So how big should my sprocket be with 11" tires and 14" tires???

Its 53 teeth on a 11" tire. Im going to get 14" tires for the back. Will that work? The sprocket has a 8" diameter.

Here's a pic of my setup to give you an idea of where to put it. I'm using the 212 Predator.

I would if the sprocket didnt cost an arm and a leg :mad:. I'm going to buy bigger tires when the next opportunity came, meaning the next time I'm near a Tracktor Supply. :roflol:

:smiley_omg: Is that a 4 cylinder?!

I was thinks about putting something under the engine like that, right now I have 1" bolt spacers and like you said ill probably be better off with some kind of frame I can bolt under the engine. Nope! My sprocket is too big. Its a bout 1" bigger than what I was hoping to get. XD

Alright, cool! Thanks for replaying supa-fast guys! :wai:

Yes, thats exactly it. And was thinking the samething, it didn't sound good when I turned the wheel anyway. Any ideas to make it higher? I was thinking about putting some big nuts under the engine.

Soo, I just got my sprocket and put it on my wheel. When I mounted my engine to the frame I noticed the centrifugal clutch was connecting to the sprocket directly without a chain. I'm wondering if its ok to leave it like it is and if I do will there be a downside to having this kind of setup...

Shweet! Thank you both for putting up with my noob question and suggestions. I've ordered my sprocket and will ask my school if I can use their MIG welder. :cheers2: Again thank you both very much!

So the 5.3:1 will give me speed, and the 6:1 will give me acceleration? I also have to factor in the wieght of the frame with the engine on it, about 85lb and my self, around 150-160, on it to get the most accurate speed. So with either of the sprocket i'd be flying, probable my so with the 60T...

So with 60T i'd get 6:1? To my understanding, the more teeth the more acceleration and the the less teeth the more power/speed? Also, on my frame there is a broken weld and i'm not sure if I need to weld it back on or if I should soder (that spelt right?) back on or even consider trying to...

Right now I'm just going to use the wheels I got now, they are 11" tall and my current sprocket is 7" tall, if that helps any. I was playing with the speed calculator and found that a 53t would give me the speed I wanted. Would a 53 teeth sprocket give me pretty good acceleration?

Ok, I don't think I'm following what you're saying. Do you want the diameter of just the tire itself or the rim or the distance between the bolts??? I'm feeling dumb. >.>
