Broke my first belt:
3:1 gearing with a TAV like this is absolutely pointless.
I made it to 44.5mph which is 2mph over the 4:1 gearing. Don't do 3:1.
I will be gearing down now to at least 5:1, maybe 6:1. i think 4.8:1 is the absolute highest gear allowed.
It wasn't the torque that killed it...it was the horsepower. The "high" speed.
a bigger driver, driven, and belt i assume would have better all-around performance allowing for more speed. You know, like a snowmobile has.
