But if it’s #35 chain you’ll snap it eventually.
Ok... Thanks, I'll find a kit with #45 chain.But if it’s #35 chain you’ll snap it eventually.
* #40 chain.Ok... Thanks, I'll find a kit with #45 chain.
I don't like #35 chain either but I was thinking baby steps... get it together first, then fuss with specific swapouts.That axle kit is the one you want. Just step up to an #40 chain it’s stronger. Excellent! Your 40 series choice is a good one too. Stick to the 6:1 ratio or 5.4:1 at the highest. Once you get the CVT kit get the number off the belt and replace it with a Genuine Comet belt. I’m glad to see you learning! And yes, brakes are handy to have and drum brakes do work good.
I personally don't like #40 and absolutely hate #41 chain, I do however love 415. ProTaper PT415MX is the best chain of any size in the 1/2 inch pitch group I've ever used.Ok... Thanks, I'll find a kit with #45 chain.
That's my general practice. None of the Comet Tav2 clones come with a belt that's worth using HOWEVER, I do still use them for initial set up and testing, Id rather mangle a junk belt with an unforseen issue than a genuine Comet belt. At this point, I'll order a Comet, then run the junk one till it's stretched beyond service before dropping the good stuff into play.Or just try running it like it is and see if it works alright.
I didn't say anything about a jackshaft KIT Denny.He’s using a 40 series kit with a back plate so no need for a jackshaft kit. Make sure that axle kit has the 4x4” hubs for the wheels.
I was thinking since I am switching my plans to #40 chain, I will just find a different torque convertor. And then I could find on with a 10t sprocket, to make the assembly geared better.I didn't say anything about a jackshaft KIT Denny.
The 40 series has a 3/4 jackshaft and unless it comes with more than that 12t for 35 chain he will need to source a 3/4 bore sprocket for the 40 chain or what ever 1/2" pitch he goes with.
So THAT'S how it works. The number of teeth on the axle sprocket divided by the number of teeth on the drive sprocket. A stupidly simple thing for me not to have quite understood it until now.9/60 = 6.66:1
10/60 = 6:1
11/60 = 5.45:1
A large number of them come with both a 12t #35 and a 10t #40/41/420 (at least the 30 series do) sprocket... could be why. They are also notoriously bad for using a "stock photo" meaning what you get could be totally different, ALWAYS read the descriptions carefully.Here is the latest 40 series. I went to searching on eBay, because I was sick of inadequate Chinese descriptions on Amazon. eBay is a little better, but not a ton. And the torque convertors on eBay are much more reasonably priced than on Amazon, so that worked out. My difficulty was finding a kit with a 10t sprocket. They often say it is 10t, then you count the actual sprocket in the picture and it is different. I'm sure some of you guys can tell the difference between a 10t and 12t just by looking at it, but I can't. So I have to strain my eyes and count them myself. This one has a 10t sprocket, but it doesn't say what size chain it is for, so fingers crossed on that. What do you think?: New torque convertor
The "stock photo" thing makes sense. That would explain why on like all of the photos of the sprockets, the key was facing to the lower right. So maybe I'll trust the description more than the photo.Large number of them come with both a 12t #35 and a 10t #40/41/420 (at least the 30 series do) sprocket... could be why.

That's happened to me. Once time, I ordered something off of eBay and it was like three months until I got it. Didn't help me appreciate the Chinese any.I personally don't care much where the seller is located, but I will absolutely not wait months for international shipping if I can at all avoid it.
BTW, I did try to do my own research.Sooo... just verifying. For the style of go kart I will be making, 1" sch40 pipe will be sufficient? Does anyone happen to know what size pipe the original American Express used? How about the GoPowerSports American Express 2.0?
