number9 and everyone else is right less than an inch sprocket to ground. Would a 60 tooth sprocket give a lot more clearance? Also I cant find the chart that figures out the mph sprocket ex..Can someone help me find it. thanks

Sprocket So in an effort to save money if I kept the 72 tooth sprocket and went from a 12 to a 10 tooth centrifugal clutch what would that do for me. Would it get the cart moving a little bit quicker and have a little less top end ?? Thanks. Dan

Hi I have a radio flyer kart build. Been away from it for a while. My build post has been closed. Don't know why, maybe because I was gone so long. I need help with picking the right sprockets. I have a 72 teeth axle sprocket and can use it but here is what I have. 10" tall tires, a 79cc 3HP...

more done Slowly but still fun. I got a used wagon off C.L. and bolted it to the frame. Had to cut out an area for the sprocket. Next I welded the supports for the seat. I cut the seat from 3/4 wood and it is not bolted to the supports yet. Next I will save for the motor so I can know where to...

So if I wanted to replace the tires because they are done. What size could I get in a tire with tread instead of slicks. Also would like to go a little taller. Just thinking but ??

Yea I guess I do. What ever the post number mean. The fronts are smaller than the rears. Is that bad?

Got yet another question for anyone that can help. I checked the net and just got confused. My tires read 4.5/10.5-5 front 60/10.5-6 rear Looking at tire stores I cant find any with these markings. Did they change the way you read the side wall? How do I figure out what tire to buy. Thanks Dan

Very nice build suicide flyer. I hope my build can turn out as good as yours. Beautiful. What size motor do you have in it?

I have already checked and yes they do take the 25% off. Cool Beans

So I think I'm going to get the 3 hp motor. Its smaller and I hope it will be enough to have some fun on. Is there any reason why I shouldn't get it?? Other than less power? Thanks

Thanks guys, So now more on motors questions please. 3 or 6.5 I have a 72 sprocket on now, what would be a good set up. 6.5 with 10 or 12 clutch and 72 sprocket? 3 hp with same same ? I can get a new sprocket if needed but 72 is what I robbed from the bar stool. Dan

I will switch the spindles before welding anything to the steering. As for the motor, I'm sure there are better choices but I'm on a budget. I got this bar stool racer used and in very bad shape. It was sitting outside in the weather for who knows how long. Plan to use as much as I can from it...

Well put Fabroman. 6HP it is.

Some how I knew you guys would say that !!

Thanks guys. I'm starting to think about motors. I'm going to get the H.F. 3 or 6 horse power. I naturally want the biggest but this is going to be a radio flyer wagon cart and I wonder if a 6er will be too much? Dan
