These are some more topics that I don't understand. An off road kart needs torque, but larger driven sprockets are only in #35, which is a weaker chain. This seems stupid. Why not have 72t for a #420? I was rather surprised by the limited sizes of sprockets. I can't go any higher than 60t on my...

To my understanding, a #35 driven sprocket is smaller in diameter compared to a #420 with the same amount of teeth (let's say 60t). How does this affect torque? Will the larger #420 have more torque? Will a #420 60t have the same torque as a #35 72t? I ask because I'm thinking of switching out...

Thanks for the link. Those custom sprockets look to be around $70 though. I can't find a drive sprocket smaller than 10t for 420 either. I give up. Might just switch out whole setup to 35 chain.

My kart has 420 chain and a 60t sprocket with a 4 bolt pattern (right under 3 inches). I want to get a bigger and can't find anything. I've read #41 will work with 420 but can't find those in 72t with the bolt pattern. Any help would be appreciated.

Finally. Put a block of wood behind it and banged it off.

I'm putting new tires on a kart that doesn't have a solid rear axle. The opposite wheel came off fine but I can't figure out how to remove the drive wheel. I've tried banging it loose but it won't budge. What am I missing?

The kart isn't gonna pull uphill with smaller tires. The 15s already lose traction in places. The clutch is 10t and driven is almost as big as the tires already. Probably not an option. ---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ---------- I wonder what the...

Hi folks, I'm new to karts and just bought a 6hp two seated to ride my daughter around the house with. The kart goes great on level to slight inclines but has almost no low end torque with both of us in it, but the trails I wanted to ride on are hilly. Would a torque converter do the trick or...

Hi from western NC. Just bought my daughter a kart and looking to do some minor customizing.
