Re: Lower gears for RXV
I’ve been doing some calculations.
If my math is right, with the stock tires and gears the cart theoretically Moves forward 353 inches per 100 motor revolutions. The stock gears are just about 16:1. My low gear set is about 19.6:1. That wouid reduce it to 288 inches traveled per 100 revs. 22” tires with the lower gears installed theoretically math kit go 352 inches travelled per 100 revs, near identical to the stock tire/gear combo. Next thing to figure is how low I can keep the cart with 22” tires. I want to retain the soft ride and stay low for stability on sloped terrain (like my property is). |

Re: Lower gears for RXV
Oh that’s right!!! 16.99, not 16...
well, the ratio with 22s still seems pretty close to stock. I don’t wanna lose much torque, it’s hilly here. Do these things still drive nice with a 3” spindle lift? I really don’t want 6”. I don’t even want any lift, but the tires need to fit. I need more aggressive tires for the property and I need to put bigger wheels on because I want to add front disc brakes, just for extra safety on the hills. My wife drives this cart a lot. She doesn’t want to climb up on it, or get beat up while driving it, or roll it over. |

Re: Lower gears for RXV
The only reason I’m wanting to use a Jake’s lift is I want to add their front disc brake kit.
They have two, one for their drop spindles and one for stock carts. I’ll have to see if I can figure out if the front brakes will work with either of those arrangements. |
