Hey Everyone,
I am new to this site and to working with engines. Everything I have encountered so far while building my buggy has been super fun and interesting. As I am approaching the end of my build I am facing a challenge, what gear ratio to use with my setup for optimal performance.
To start, I have a stock 420cc engine with 22"inch wheels, I plan on putting a 40 series torque converter into the setup. I intend to use this kart for mostly off-road purposes so I read somewhere that the higher the gear ratio the better for climbing steep hills and rocks. I was thinking of using a 7:1 -> 9:1 ratio??
While this does not offer high top speeds I would still like the kart to be fast generally speaking. Any help or advice with the project would be greatly appreciated!
