Go Kart Reverse Kit Install Pt. 1

Рет қаралды 366,302

5 жыл бұрын

We've wanted to install a reverse kit on a go kart for a while now, and our 7 horsepower Subaru Robin powered kart is the perfect candidate! After we installed the Subaru overhead cam engine, the gear ratio on Pugly was way too tall, so between the decreased gear ratio within the reverse unit, and a little bit of gearing of our own, the go kart accelerates pretty well now!

That's the only gearbox that I know of, besides an RPM that offers hi and low ratios, plus reverse without breaking the bank, unlike the RPM which goes for $5000 or so.
