Status: offline 		I am making an rc car using a lightened go kart chassis.  I was looking for a servo that is about half as powerful as the i00600 that is cheaper.  I am also trying to find a cvt tranny that works on a 70cc 2-stroke.  The wheel circumference is going to be 59.66 in.  If i was correct on my calculations i would want it to start out at around a 50:1 reduction and go up to 15:1.  So if anyone has ideas i would appreciate feedback._________________ Using two 50cc two stroke pocket bike engines and the i00600 servo for steering.  And smaller tires on the back.

Status: offline 		I might use two of these motors.  But i have no idea if it would reduce the power enough to have good power off the start.

Cool setup with the dual motors.
Do they run well together?

Status: offline 		I am using the i00600 should have bought the i00800.  The engines run well together, could not have better throttle response but do not quite have enough reduction i think.  I am working on the suspension and maybe making it a little bit lighter. Hopefully...

Status: offline 		ya it was a bigger two seated go kart.  it is still very heavy.  I would like more power but i think the 50cc engines with cvt trannys that were about $95 each will do for now unless i find one i like for a good price.
