InactiveI am looking to get a starting point on figuring out gearing at IMI. Leopard motor, 11 tooth driver. Kart to be run in TAG Masters.
Thanks

ParticipantKen try a 11/83 and go from there. Depending which direction the track is and how well you carry momentum on to the streight you should be right around 16400 RPM.

ParticipantJust to back up Kyle, I ran 11/80 at the last race (my 1st) but didn’t get his kind of revs (or lap times). 83 should be about right.

ParticipantHumm. Is Blink at a differant track? 15 teeth differance makes me think twice before asking for advice.

Well, you could run a 69 or 70 and keep revs down. That will allow you to concentrate more on being smooth and you’ll get more hours out of your motor. No sense in twisting it since theres no race, unless you hate money 😀
But if you wanna go FAST, listen to what Kyle says. I think he knows something about that 🙂

ParticipantJust to re-emphasize, 11/80 will keep your revs down (and lap times up), at least at TaG Masters weight. I came to the track with a 65 as suggested, but was told by the ever-helpful Mr. Schermerhorn that I would “get killed”. Anything less than 80 is not advisable.
It’d be nice for Mr. Samu to weigh in on this one, since he’s the fastest TaG Master with a Leopard. You out there, Rick?
