    What is your thought on #35 chains/sprockets vs 428 Was just going to call around Monday to see on custom sprocket prices. A bunch of people seem to use it and it is the size chain and sprocket that came with my axle. The chain is a smaller so my case clearance would be better ? Mike

    Thanks again you guys have been a great help. I think my plan will be to order a 14t 520 eng sprocket and rebelgears.com can make a 520 rear anywhere between 18-76t for 50 bucks and ship in 1-2 days. so i will order a 25t and between the 11/25 or 14/25 i can play with those for a bit and if i...

    Thanks for the calculator also. So if its safe to use a 25t rear ill do that. 11/25 at 28 mph is a good start. 14/25 36 mph so if i want more speed i can still go up a 14t in the front later. Never could find any hp/t specs so hard to know how its going to accel. Im guessing 15-16hp?

    Bigger wheels is a option but i kind of like the look with smaller. Thanks for the link, that 4 bolt hub might work with my sprocket but i need to figure out the pattern. The hub-less gear looks nice but a little pricey not knowing if the ratio i chose will work. If that hub will bolt my 520...

    Thank for the great info. I would prefer to use a 428 chain as the rear axle i bought has a 428 sprocket and hub on it already (i don't know how many teeth yet still being shipped.) and if i use the big 520 i would have to use a special hub for the 520 rear sprocket i have. I found some 428 pto...

    No!!!!! I would think 40-50 would be good, This thing will probably never see a track. I have access to some nice size parking lots i can mess around at on sat/Sundays. and i live in a cul-de-sac and that where my kids race theirs for now. Was just thinking that if the atv only did 35ish with...

    I have not found a 428 sprocket that will fit the motor for sure, but i did find a 14t 520 for it and i can get a rear 520 sprocket from 33t and up

    The atv the motor came out of had a top speed of 35-38mph with 22in rear tires so i would think using the same sprockets with a 11in tire whould make it slower?
