 As discussed in the Chain section, the ANSI #35 chain is the most commonly used size within the League. Sizing this type of sprocket to the typical context for Power racing includes a little bit of math. The [[https://www.bmikarts.com/Go-Kart-Gear-Ratio-Speed-Calculator |Calculator from BMI Karts is pretty useful for performing this math.]] Important data for using this calculator with a BOMA MY1020 motor:
- * "Drive Wheel Diameter in Inches" should be actual/measured, not just nominal off the sticker, for the most accurate calculation.
