Just curious... how is it that you 'know' that you are doing 35mph(just wondering cause there are 'some' flaws w/ 'certain' types of speed measurement/devises)? Distance of measurement, satellite connection, radar calibration, human error... being afew of them.
I 'too' had the same mathematical UNequation... doing 35mph according to both a troopers radar gun, and an atv speedometer, in my case. I never 'verified' that I was doing what they said, so was never 100% sure of the measurement. At the time I was runnin a NEW unmodded HF212 geared 5:1 on 10's... same as you, as far as speed equations are concerned.
Since then Ive watched the vids of the kart driving, back then, and have come to the conclusion that I miss heard both of the measurements when they 'told' them to me(Im kinda hard of hearing). It was my first kart, and pretty much the first time driving it, on a norm... so I had no XP of how 25mph felt riding 3" off the ground. Today, I travel at a verified 50mph... and I now know what 25mph actually feels/looks/sounds like, for the most part, and can say that I was NOT doing 35mph back then.
