Thank you.
Need chain and sprocket advice please.
1. Is chain size 428 strong enough? Because I found all the components in this size.
2. What do you think about an 1:6 fixed gear ratio, on 19 inch tires, centrifugal clutch, 9 HP engine. The clutch already has 1:2 reduction. Planning to get 12T small sprocket and 36T large sprocket. This gives the overall 1:6 ratio. There's the option to go larger/smaller on either sprocket.
The theoretical speed is 31 kmh when clutch becomes locked @2100 RPM
55 kmh @3600 max engine RPM

Nice work Alex. You welds are looking good. Don't get too ahead of yourself, as you need to be less than 50% done to enter the build off competition this year

I don't think your pivot points for your rear suspension has enough bearing surface.Have you thought about using some round tubing on one side and making a bushing out of delrin or some other material and installing it in the tubing and then using a bolt with a shoulder at least the length of the delrin bushing and not using the threaded part of the bolt as a bearing surface?
You are doing a great job keep on going!After seeing the result, I agree with you; and thanks for the tip. Will replace just the bolts for now, with ones that are not threaded all the way.
After I see this machine run, I'll fix what is not right.
What is track?
