Worst drivetrain setup?

[Tpdingo]

Can anyone get worse than my drivetrain setup on my tinykart?

3hp predator
3:1 gear ratio
9" bald tires
40lb kart.

Hey, it moves....when it isnt throwing the chain to the moon.

Is this a statement or a question????
Is that tire OD or rim size?

 

[Tpdingo]

Outer diameter. I can fill the tire to full in about 15 seconds with a cheap air pump. Kind of a statement and question.

Sounds like a competition to me.

Belt centrifugal clutch to a 122" v belt that makes a double 90° bend and a 90° twist via idlers and tensioners, to a 9" jackshaft pulley. 12t on the jackshaft to 24t on a 3/4" axle. Hand truck split rims on homemade hubs that attach to the axle with a through-bolt like a snowblower

Change the gearing up a bit. Get a slightly larger axle sprocket. Post some pics of what you have

Sure. The ratio is so slow because I have no ground clearence for it.

How about some not so zoomed in pics??...

You will have to get a jackshaft to fix the ratio

Yeah we need a more "overall" picture, zoomed out. You might be able to cut away or relocate frame pieces to make room for a bigger sprocket.
