chain and sprockets
I'm building a mini with an RX-1 motor. I need a front sprocket and rear one. The jackshaft is 1" with a keyway and I can fab the sprocket adapter. The rear diff is from Jodi at ProtoDie and has a 6 on 5 1/4" bolt pattern. I'm wanting to use a gear ratio of at least 5:1. With the 26" paddle tires and a 12tooth front and a rear 70 gives me a 5.83:1 plus the 1.19:1 reduction on the engine makes for a 6.93:1 and the torque converter at 1:1 when shifted out gives a speed of 110 mph @10,000rpm.
I don't think I need any more speed at Silver Lake on the dunes. I need to know where to get sprockets? Thanks guys. Aleck |

Re: chain and sprockets
DO NOT use stainless for a stressed item. It is not the correct material.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad info.
