snowmobile swap?

Mikeland Federation

I have a 800cc snow mobile motor that i wanna drop in my golf cart. The only problem im seeing is the stock gear ratio on the golf cart axel will only allow me to hit around 40 mph, how can i make it reach the top speeds of the motor?

I belive i have around 22in tires on my golf cart and did the gear ratio, rpm, and tire size calculator and it equaled up to around 45 mph top speed. Do you know any place where i could get dif gears that will let me hit around 80-100 mph?

hit around 80-100 mph?
No one should take part in this in my opinion.

Mike and Mad, golf carts are not designed to achieve those kinds of speeds. The first thing to think about is, what if I need to stop in a hurry? Golf Cart tires and wheels are not manufactured with the intention of achieving those speeds. Will they? they might, but for how long??

Just things to consider before you start shooting for the big mph's.

I build all kinds of go carts, quads that hit around 100mph, I could handle those speeds. My idea was to have something that could hit around 80 - 100 if i had too, this is gonna be for Glamis , so i cant have anything slow and heavy or it wont push threw the sand. But the most the cart is gonna be used for is showing off, I have a full roll cage and cushions wrapped around everything, heavy duty shocks, wheels, and front end. so it could hit around 80 mph, without falling apart nor not being able to stop in time, all im asking is if they have any race gears so i dont have to re do the whole rear end.

I hear you on the speed i just want a lil more top end

I heard if you swapped your motor with something bigger, in our case then its just a matter of time befor you eat up all the stock tranny gears
