How fast would a 400lb wooden go cart move with a 4 hp engine?
I am currently building a wooden go kart. The frame weighs about 200 -250 lb and with an average person in it, it should be at most 400lb. There is a 12 tooth clutch sprocket and a 40 tooth axel sprocket. Tire size is 13 in. What speed could I expect it to go around?
well a having a clutch is gonna hurt your low end. But: you have a 12:40 tooth ratio. 40 teeth will help you some. you might get 20 mph out of it, a lot more going down a hill. Also depends on how much torque the engine is making. If you can, get a torque a verter for it (CVT). its gonna be slow taking off probably
