How does engine horsepower / sprocket size relationship factor in? Does having a huge sprocket turning a small sprocket require more hp to work efficiently as opposed to a large sprocket turning a smaller sprocket? I know in the rc world small driving large seems to be less stressful on electric...

Yeah - I didn't really consider it a go kart by my limited understanding of things, but since everyone else seems to - I'm not here to reinvent the wheel. "Hammerhead" is the brand, I believe...but there are quite a few different models with subtle differences.

How would a person calculate the gear ratio when 4 sprockets are involved? My son's electric go kart is situated this way: motor shaft sprocket to jackshaft sprocket 1, then from jackshaft sprocket 2 to axle sprocket. Advantages or disadvantages to this setup?

I'm hoping to ID a go kart that needs a new driver's side spindle. I'm pretty sure it's some type of Hammerhead. Thanks in advance!

Yeah....another new guy. Hi, I'm Rob....from Gulfport, MS. I'm new to the world of go karting, but glad to step in at a time in which the internet exists. In the short time of owning this machine, I've been directed to this site hundreds of times while troubleshooting and repairing issues. With...

As usual, I put the horse before the kart. I saw this topic as I was looking over the site and thought, "wow..sounds like the potential mistake I'm about to make.", so I jumped in right here.

I'm new here and need help identifying a hammerhead go kart? Will one of you kind gentlemen please point me in the right direction that I must go in order to find out what model it is? Thx in advance.
