Strengthen your kart's defenses using the Reinforced Plastic Sprocket Guard Set 8.0", SKU RPSG8. Integrated aluminum reinforcement lugs in the bolt holes add durability to the plastic base, creating a hybrid that's tough yet light.
This set fits 53 through 64 tooth #35 sprockets and 63 through 78 tooth #219 sprockets, covering diverse gearing needs. Hardware isn't included, so opt for 1.5-inch length bolts (like our SGBK-XL) or VKM6BK for unthreaded metric hubs.
- Reinforced design handles high-torque applications without flexing.
- Plastic core keeps overall weight down for agile performance.
- Broad compatibility ensures it works across multiple kart models.
By securing the sprocket area, it stops chains from jumping, which could otherwise cause spins or crashes— directly aiding safer, faster runs. The reinforcements prevent bolt holes from stripping, organizing your assembly for repeated reliable use. Racers benefit from reduced maintenance, as it shields against mud and stones that accelerate wear.
Picture maintaining full throttle confidence; this guard makes it possible by stabilizing the drive system. It's an smart choice for tracks with variable surfaces, where protection equals podium potential.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which sprocket sizes are compatible with the RPSG8 guard?
A: This 8-inch guard is designed to fit #35 chain sprockets ranging from 53 to 64 teeth, and #219 chain sprockets ranging from 63 to 78 teeth.
Q: Does this set include the mounting hardware?
A: No, hardware is not included. We recommend using 1.5-inch length bolts for installation. For standard setups, use our SGBK-XL bolts, or use VKM6BK bolts if you are working with unthreaded metric hubs.
Q: Why are there aluminum lugs in the bolt holes?
A: The integrated aluminum lugs provide reinforcement to the plastic base. This prevents the bolt holes from stripping under high-torque conditions and ensures the guard remains securely fastened during repeated use.
Q: How does a sprocket guard improve my kart's performance?
A: By stabilizing the drive system and shielding the chain from debris like mud and stones, the guard prevents the chain from jumping. This reduces the risk of mechanical failure and allows you to maintain full throttle with confidence.
