How fast?

[Vick's gokart]

I was wondering how fast my yerf dog spider box will go with a 6.5 grey hound on it I'm about 5.9' and 165. Any guesses

There are too many variable here to give you a straight answer. We will need things like tooth count on clutch as well as axel sprocket, if you have a jackshaft, tyre diameter etc.

With all of this, you can use a calculator to give you an approximate speed. Have a look at these.

100mph... If you take the chain off and find a big enough mountain to coast down
