Can you guys gimme some help on how does the gearing work on these restricted clones?
It's a 3/16 clay oval. Tight corners so have to lift on corner entry. 4.71 ratio (14/66) current gear. 5356 max rpm but about 1800 rpm dropoff. Looks like our kart is missing some acceleration on corner exit since it has so much dropoff.
We've heard turn about 5200-5400 rpms is ideal, some say turn much less rpms, others say turn higher lol. Fastest kid kart there sounds like he's turning 6500 but no clue what he's actually turning. We turned his 6100 once at a different track by accident and looked/sounded fast as hell but didn't wanna risk hurting it.
Competitors are anywhere from a 12-15 clutch gear so not sure what to try out?
