Cool, If you know what your motors max rpm will be, here's a link to our speed calculator you could use to experiment with various gear ratios to achieve the best compromise between good acceleration and estimated top speeds: https://www.diygokarts.com/speed-calculator.htmlTopKart has a carrier 50mm and 219 chain sprocket so I ordered that! It's a 20 tooth motor side and 77 tooth axle side. I am not sure ratios yet. Very much new to this so I'm just playing around. I still need to order a chain.
I ordered the motor side from here https://americansurron.com/?syclid=8e47dda3-6555-4b43-9a4e-1f0104918fde
PS: If you don't have a set of rear racekart slicks yet, you'll discover they'll be right around 11" tall when aired up to their max pressure rating; and you could use that size for the speed calculator.
