2-speed gearbox
Right now I have a Kart with a rotary engine in it. It's great fun, but it lacks power coming out of the slow turns. Is it possible to somehow
put in a 2-speed gearbox? First gear should be a lower gear so I have more revs at low speeds and 2nd gear should be what I have right now. Maybe you
can put something in between the 2 sprockets or some kind of planitary gear onto the rear axle?

I'm sure someone will be along shortly with a more complete answer. But you may have some luck looking a autograss supplies/cars for ideas as i
know that most of the top class's run fairly simple 2 speed boxes. Don't know exactly how they work but it might be a good place to
start.

Imageshack is down so I can't put pics up. On these sites you can get a good example of howmuch space there is and how the chain connects the 2
sprockets.
