any way to mount a live axle................

you could then choose your ratio.....................

running go karts , a 14 tooth clutch gear with a 64 rear gear got me 65 mph on a 1/8 high banked racetrack...................

thats with a 5 hp briggs horizontal.............

the Slingshot has a 10 tooth clutch drum with a 52 rear gear and gets 55-60 mph on a 1/4 mile track....................

thats with a 20 hp v-twin briggs horizontal.......................

i have a gear ratio chart somewhere from kart racing that will give ratios if you need it........

My kids Odyssey has a 12HP engine and goes over 60MPH.  You can soup it up to go even faster.  Other kids ATV has a 150 cc enfgine goes about 55, soooooo   you can probably get about 70 or so out of that if ya gear it rite.   Have fun!!!

Well, I did not know you were going to actually race these things. See, I thought you were just trying to build a joy ride vehicle. Your actually trying to race, well I guess Skyking knows all the ins and outs of that ha? Well, happy racing!
