I'm in the beginning stages of planning my next project and I think I wnat to build something with high ground clearance, large tires from 22-25" in diameter, a 6.5 Predator and a Series 30 Comet torque converter. Looking at some of the gear ratio calculators out there I know 18" seems to be the largest you would want to go for dune buggys and go karts. But what about minibikes? Are tires in the 22" -25" too big regardless of what jackshaft and gearing you have? I don't want to be busting TC belts when out in the woods on the side of a steep hill in the middle of nowhere.
Some thoughts on gearing with the large tires and TC would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
