How fast could this engine make a go kart go with only sprocket set ups and no engine modifications?

Plenty fast. Would depend on your sprocket ratio but 16 hp is plenty of power.

Jesse, dont know what actual speed it may achieve, with no modifications, appears you must drill main jet carb out to somewhere around .039 to. 043 to eliminate hesitation , if you attempt to race it. Then u must remove governor.! This is stuff that i have heard and read on social networks. No experience myself

To fast for a home built off-road go-kart without suspension. 45 mph is a good estimate.

Depends on the ratios but on street 40-50 and you will have to stabilize the shaft if not then the torque will bend it

I am always looking and I say yes,on eBay get to the guys that sell parts mostly and nave plenty of up graded motors for 1:14 1:18 and batteries and those 2alone would make a monumental difference and double the speed,beware that being a cheaper entry level car,it will have majority of plastic components as in gears for the 4WD system compared to Metal diff gears,aliminium drive shafts etc etc

Well you have to upgrade your pinion and spur gear then add a 3cell lipo and you can archive 60+ mphBut i had to put a fan on both my esc and motor to keep them cool because the electronics overheat fast. But research the gear ratios online. Mine goes 63mph as far as i have tested. So much fun. Get a chassis t-bonevprotector tho. At that speed if u spinout u can break your chassis.

Not super fast, it's cool because it's a mustang but honestly pretty entry level. A young kid would like it but will eventually want it to be faster.

It would take too much effort and it would never be as reliable as a Honda engine..but get one that is at least 250cc

Not sure, but this beast of a machine has plowed though everything I have thrown at it at max settings, so speed shouldn't be a problem for quite a long time to come.

Definitely 4 stroke and there are a ton of parts that can easily be bought. I really like these types of engines for my kids. Cheap, decent power, tons of replaceable parts.

It has been a while since I had purchased this engine, but if my memory serves me well then I am pretty sure you only have to bolt it to the chassis and you are good to run it. (Advise; let it run at idle for at least 15 minutes for a proper break in and do not overrev the engine until your third tank of fuel) it is however a great engine.

Variable speed from 5,000 - 20,000rpm (no load)Hope this helps ! Best wishes.

I gave it to my 3yr old and he rode it until he burned the motor out. It prob goes 1-2mph.

I have this in my traxxas summit and its pretty fast. It does depend on the gearing you have, its not typically a fast motor, my summit is just made to go fast. Mine probably runs around 25 mph or so, I never really go as fast as it can.

the install is straight forward and simple.what are you installing it on? however i think that i have not got it tuned right yet as the mph seems to be off the faster i go

this will easily go about 35/45 MPH.it will try to go more than 50 too but since it is an air cool engine and not a water cool, it is safe to go about 45 MPH. Going faster than that for a long period of time will burn the engine.When you first receive the scooter, change the oil in the first few DAYS, go very slow for first few WEEKS. It is a brand new engine, give it a good break in period.Smart deals now

I see no reason why you couldn't. Like the other poster said,take your time and you should appreciate how smooth your engine runs.

Just make sure the controller can carry the load, and I wouldn't run it any slower than 75-80 rpm's

The exact rpms are hard to know. You can only estimate based on having 7 speed settings and a range from 3000-11000 rpm. So probably about 1100 rpm up/down per setting

im guessing as fast as other rc cars ....its really small so it might move around faster but gave as a gift so i dont really know about it
