I managed to find the gear and diff ratios on flacmonkeys site and had a play.

1st 34mph
2nd 58
3rd 92
4th 128
5th 158

Not bad for a locost me thinks

Just need to find a way to overcome drag

158 in 5th sound good but you never achieve it.

Paul

mine should be capable of 150 in 5th but hits a wall after 130. ( on the track )

edit

change my diff to a 3.62 so that I can hit 60mph in 2nd from a standing start 6200rpm

thats not bad but its a shame you wont be able to hit 60 in second gear though

The advantage of big cc engines is you use 3rd and 4 th gear most of the time

5th gear is only to save fuel when you realsie you have got none left and its a long way to the next watering hole.

Those calcs were with the max rpm at 6k. The limit is actually 6500. Might hit 60 in second

180mph apparently for mine. i'm not holding much hope lol.
don't know what the rev limit on mine is though. i put 7k?
