Time for a CVT, huh?

Your tires are much bigger than 8", I would suggest that 8" is the size or your rims or the radius of your tires. In another thread you mentioned you have a 5:1 ratio for your low gear, that'd probably to high. You should gear it down more, that could cure your belt burning problem, the smaller pulleys are pretty small too.

Anyways, cool design, I like it!

Thanks

you can make a 2 speed chain drive, costly though(i can find one if you wan't. you can find a comet tc on ebay, craigslist, people on the forum, if your ok with a non comet, bulletlines.com, gokartsusa.com, ebay, and gokartsupply.com, all have them. cvt are also costly, but they increase the performance a lot.

 

[coolkarter]

would a cvt cost as much as a quad engine/transmision swap?

 

[r97]

it really depends on the type of tc required, and how much you can get it for, but i bet a normal sized used quad engine would cost much less and would preform better.

 

[coolkarter]

wuld a 225cc quad motor be normal sized?

 

[modelengineer]

It would be perfect

 

[coolkarter]

what about the shifter how would i make it?

 

[r97]

use the search button, you should come up with a few threads about making shifters.
