you could have a custom sprocket fabricated to a rediculous 200+ tooth dimmension and rev it as high as you want.

well, i bought the engine today, and boy is it big. theres plenty of kinks to work out, im thinking custom sprocket, and maybe running it in a higher gear so the engine bogs down and doesn't pull to hard. i prolly wont start on in much for a week or two because i have to make my new boards. i will keep you guys posted though, gimme tips, ideas, and anything else you can throw out at me Wink
