I'd like to change my gearing to achieve more low end acceleration. My gearing is currently 2.5:1. I have 30 teeth on the motor sprocket and 75 on the axle sprocket. Now my question is, if I reduce my motor teeth to 18, how many teeth can you add to the axle sprocket without changing the distance between the two? Is there a certain ratio one needs to follow?

going from 30 to 18 will be alot more power, you must have small wheels?
No, it doesn't really have that small of wheels. It was geared to a certain speed and we've found we want more acceleration out of the corners. I'd like to achieve around a 4:1, maybe a little higher. Does anyone know if there's a formula where I can find the max amount of teeth on the rear sprocket?

chain pitch(chains starting with 3x are 3/8" 4x(x) are 4/8" etc) X #of teeth=circumference
