RLV Black Diamond 64T #219 Split Sprocket - Hard Anodized Aluminum - All Classes
Beyond the Go Kart Torque Converter: Maximizing Drive-Line Efficiency
Your engine's power delivery is only as effective as the driveline that transfers it to the tarmac. While tuning a go kart torque converter or clutch engagement speed is critical, your final drive ratio dictates your top speed and corner-exit acceleration. The RLV Black Diamond split sprocket allows you to swap gears in minutes. You no longer need to remove the rear wheel bolts, slide off the hubs, or disturb your brake cylinder alignment just to drop a tooth. The precision-machined interlocking halves mate flawlessly, ensuring absolute concentricity. This eliminates the dreaded chain hop and vibration often associated with inferior split gears, ensuring every ounce of horsepower reaches the track.Hard-Anodized Durability for the Competitive Edge
Machined from premium, lightweight aerospace-grade aluminum, this sprocket is treated with RLV's proprietary Black Diamond hard-anodized finish. This advanced coating hardens the tooth surface, drastically reducing wear from the #219 chain while minimizing friction. Rotational mass is the enemy of acceleration; by utilizing this lightweight aluminum profile, your engine spools up faster out of tight hairpins. Whether you are dialing in your chassis geometry, adjusting tire pressures, or testing the best go kart tires for racing, having a reliable, quick-change sprocket system ensures your pit time is minimized and your track time is maximized.- True Split Design: Enables lightning-fast gear ratio changes without removing the axle, hubs, or brake cylinder assemblies.
- Black Diamond Hard Anodizing: Dramatically increases tooth lifespan and reduces chain friction for maximum power transfer.
- Precision Interlocking Halves: Ensures perfect alignment and vibration-free operation at high RPMs.
- 64-Tooth #219 Pitch: Ideal for fine-tuning your final drive for agile acceleration on tight, technical circuits.
- Aerospace-Grade Aluminum: Significantly reduces rotational mass compared to solid steel alternatives, improving throttle response.
- High-Tensile Fasteners: Comes equipped with premium hardware to secure the halves tightly under extreme torque loads.
- Universal Carrier Fitment: Compatible with standard #219 sprocket carriers used across multiple 2-cycle and 4-cycle racing classes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why should I choose a split sprocket over a solid one?
A: A split sprocket allows you to change your gear ratio in minutes without removing the rear wheel, axle hubs, or brake assembly. It is a massive time-saver during practice sessions when track conditions change rapidly.
Q: Is the RLV Black Diamond sprocket compatible with all #219 chains?
A: Yes, this sprocket is designed for the standard #219 pitch, which is the industry standard for most 2-cycle and 4-cycle sprint karting classes.
Q: How do I ensure the sprocket halves are perfectly aligned?
A: The RLV Black Diamond features precision-machined interlocking halves. When installing, ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris, then tighten the included high-tensile fasteners evenly to ensure absolute concentricity and vibration-free operation.
Q: Does the hard-anodized finish require special maintenance?
A: The Black Diamond hard-anodizing is extremely durable and reduces friction. Simply keep the sprocket clean of track debris and ensure your chain is properly lubricated to maximize the lifespan of both the sprocket teeth and your chain.
Q: Will this sprocket fit my current sprocket carrier?
A: This sprocket is designed for universal fitment on standard #219 sprocket carriers used across the vast majority of competitive karting chassis.
