10milmike Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Relax. Just playing with you. So that would be a mid 6's in the full 1/8 Quote
BB-banshee171 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Posted July 29, 2014 Lol. Probably, just a lil 379. Hope to get on a true 1/8th mile track soon and see. I'm new to asphalt. Got a 10 mil cub I race on dirt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

SlowerThanYou Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 This will tell more of the story, but this set-up was for 1/4 mile. Quote
10milmike Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Holy shit your alive. We're you been? Quote
BB-banshee171 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Posted July 29, 2014 That's dang near close, 60s and 300s are almost identical Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 That's dang near close, 60s and 300s are almost identical Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Totally different set-up for the 1/4 mile. It has been much faster than that. Quote
10milmike Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 I guess so. Well good to see you back. Quote
BB-banshee171 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Posted July 29, 2014 Yea I imagine it is a totally diff setup. My lil motor would probably fall on it's face if I geared it for quarter mile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Tedder Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 For a stock cylinder 4mil I think that's very respectable. Especially since it sounds like you're just getting started on asphalt. A 500' track is certainly better than no track at all... Lots of guy's here run 300' dirt so what the hell - You do what's available to ya' and it's better than taking it to the street IMO. We run 1/4 mile because that's what's in our backyard. Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Ran out of gear at 500 ft with 18/40 with stock primary's and 19" American racers I don't think you are very far off from the optimum gearing for 1/8 mile. I do things differently than most when gearing an ATV. I'll explain it a little better under the other quotes. While I don't have all your set-up. I can tell the Quad is lighter than most & I'm assuming the rider is light. Plus, you are using a 19" dia. tire. Just need the rider weight & primary ratio for a clearer picture. You want to top out at the 1/8 mile mark. This explanation is pretty vague. At the minimum you should be at the RPM your motor makes peak HP. In most cases, the motor should be at a higher RPM than peak HP at the finish line. Example below. Yea I imagine it is a totally diff setup. My lil motor would probably fall on it's face if I geared it for quarter mile. Our gearing stays the same between 1/8 & 1/4 mile in 98% of our situations. We only use 5th gear for 1/8, but use 6th for 1/4. Here's the example of rpm I was talking about. Our motor made peak HP at 9,700 rpm. On our quickest and fastest runs we hit the finish line at 10,700-10,800 rpm. Quote
BB-banshee171 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Posted July 29, 2014 Was running some stock primaries and I only have a 1-5 override no 6th gear. Just got ahold of a set of 2.68 straight cuts and gonna get some 20" tires Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Hint, keep the 19s! If I only ran 1/8 mile it would be on 18s or 19s. Quote
