That centrifugal clutch is going to take a lot of heat with new drivers.It's like starting in high gear all the time. It's ok for the race track but for around and around the house, not so well. The smallest possible driving sprocket helps but they are a swine to keep the chain on and tight enough. Larger driven sprockets are not cheap either. We went with a driven sprocket that only clears the ground by 2". One wheel drive? And probably no suspension is fine for paved track racing but.......It's going to be a challenge "off road". Perhaps some more looking for a cart complete with an engine and drive train? Or maybe finding a old 250cc snowmobile with a complete torque converter drive for this cart? The torque-a-verter is simple and handy. Bolts right onto the engine without requiring a jackshaft. No need to jockey the secondary pulley for alignment either. Just find the smallest #40 drive sprocket for the secondary pulley's shaft and go. #35 chain is too light and fails rapidly. The Comet -torqu-a-vertor even allows spring changes on the primary clutch to vary engagement and upshift rpm. Top speed limiter weights are available too.Trying to limit engine rpms just makes the cart a clutch or belt smoker. This cart has very heavy steel frame and roll cage, it takes some rpms to get rolling on rough ground. The 3300rpm springs work much better than the factory 2600rpm units out in the fields. Wish I had bought a pre-made factory cart with suspension,brakes, electrics and torque converter. The Father-inlaws bargain home built cart has cost more $$$ to get less satisfaction. Latest problem is the rear axle sliding sideways while the kids do donuts.One tire with a slow leak, one hub loose on the axle. And the drive chain torn off from rubbing the side of the torq-a-verter plate. At least this will do the rear brake update all in one job. Adding a rotor to the rear axle and a 750 road bike rear pedal operated hydraulic disk brake. I'm beginning to hate that *^^*)) cart.Better the kids smash it than a highway vehicle I guess.
