CVT explained

I've seen this exact model in the mid 1949's and no one did anything with it.

I've seen this exact model in the mid 1950's and no one did anything with it.
I doubt if this will go anywhere, but a clever idea and wish someone would actually use it.

Bad ass track!! What is it? I've listened to it like 15 times..nice and progressive

cheers man, the track is called pulse, from album sports promos vol 1 from freeplay music.

hmmm... still need a clutch for full stop :D (unless electric, which thus you wouldn't really need a transmission :D) 2) how does it hold up to High RPMS?, (heating and such) 3) Strength issue, wouldn't the chain get pulled to the sides as to shear?. any corrections or answers to the above would be appreciated

yeah that's simple and effective.

exactly. thanks for watching.

For most vehicles with gears you will need a clutch system to allow the engine to be seperated from the transmission system during operation to allow a new gear be selected, manual cars will have a clutch pedal, automatics do not, Go Karts use a centrifugal clutch system which works great for small engines. Sequential is just a method of changing gear an example would be a WRC car uses a sequential box.

well i understand the clutch thing but i just dont think im going to get a 5-speed go kart anyway thanks
