Kart test #4 Thumpstar gearing

New gearing on the kart. Seems to be pretty good now, 16T motor and 26T axle sprockets. Run is down 175m and back 200m in our street.

@xionmotorpeng Ok, for the last time. This is my sons mate driving, it's NOT a racing kart, it's for FUN! No, a THUMPSTAR dirt bike motor. Read the heading!

Sorry to take it out on you, but i get at least 2 of these a week

just a little tip, take that spoiler off, that kind of spoiler helps in about +120km/h and at that low speeds it only makes your kart slower

@sisasiistisipuli I know mate, but it's just a toy, though may finally get into Outlaw Dirt Karting which requires a wing (thats what it's off). It also houses a fully baffled fuel tank with crash protection. At 8kg's, really doesn't bother the kart that much.

Cheers

@123sqpbc321 wing weights 8kgs?!? Ive been RACING gokarts for 6 years, at this moment ive driving 100cc yamaha's which are toughest class in here, Finland. Minimum weight for kart + driver is 140kg. Everyone tries to reach that weight. Even 200grams more (140,2kg) makes a big difference in laptimes. Eight extra kilograms makes a big difference. But it Outlaw Dirt Karting requires a wing, sure use it. I just don't understand why to use one, rear bumper would be lot better if you want protection

@sisasiistisipuli Hi, it has the bumper. As mentioned before, it's not a race kart, just a toy for the kids to play on. If my son gets into karting it will be Outlaw karts which use geared 2 and 4 strokes and have the wing.
