Hey guys ,,i just don't understand this kart. It has a 63 tooth lower ,10 tooth upper,brand new 5hp b&s raptor3 engine ,new t/c.
Wouldn't ya think I'd be able to do some donuts in the gravel..??also i mite get 35 mph top end..

That sounds about right...

You can't do donuts coz it's geared too high, you can't go any faster coz it's geared too low but, adjusting the gearing for either purpose will affect the other; it's called a happy medium

That's about it.

.....And its a big kart. That gearing would be great for what you are asking if it were lighter with smaller diameter tyres
