RLV Xtreme G/G #35 Racing Chain - 120 Links Blue Box - LO206 / Sprint

Eliminating drivetrain friction is the most cost-effective way to maximize power transfer to the rear axle, making premium racing parts like the RLV Xtreme G/G #35 Chain essential for competitive karting. Engineered specifically for the relentless demands of sprint and oval tracks, this 120-link "Blue Box Edition" chain provides superior tensile strength and wear resistance. When you are pushing a 206 kart engine to the absolute limit, chain stretch and roller wear are your biggest enemies. A worn chain climbs the sprocket teeth, drastically increasing the coefficient of friction and robbing you of critical straightaway speed.

Why Drivetrain Durability Outperforms Standard Cart Parts

Whether you are building a fresh chassis or prepping a used lo206 kart for sale, installing a fresh RLV Xtreme chain ensures the drivetrain operates with zero bind. While many racers focus heavily on brakes and parts, carb parts, or finding the perfect kart wheels and tires, they often neglect the massive impact of chain drag. By maintaining precise pitch and roller diameter, the RLV G/G chain guarantees that every ounce of briggs and stratton lo206 horsepower makes it directly to the contact patch.

• 120-Link Custom Sizing: Extra length allows for precise cutting to accommodate any front/rear sprocket ratio without compromising wheelbase.
• Gold/Gold (G/G) Side Plates: Hardened outer and inner plates resist elongation and withstand heavy torque loads under acceleration.
• Reduced Friction Rollers: Precision-machined rollers sit deep in the sprocket valley, eliminating tooth-climbing and minimizing heat generation.
• Exceptional Tensile Strength: Built to endure the harsh vibrations and sudden load spikes typical of 4-cycle sprint and outlaw oval racing.
• Pre-Stretched Factory Assembly: Minimizes initial break-in stretch, keeping your chain tension consistent from the first green flag to the final lap.
• Blue Box Edition Quality: RLV's premium tier racing chain, trusted by national champions for unparalleled reliability and low-drag performance.

Tuning Your 206 Kart Engine for Maximum Efficiency

Setting proper chain tension is critical for drivetrain reliability. Target 1.5 to 2.5 inches of total vertical deflection at the tightest point in the chain's rotation. Too tight, and you risk destroying clutch bearings and bending the crankshaft; too loose, and the chain will slap, bind, or derail. Pair this chain with a high-quality #35 breaker tool for a clean, precise fit, and lubricate generously to maintain optimal roller rotation.

To truly optimize your setup, remember that drivetrain alignment is just as crucial as tension. Ensure your engine mount is perfectly square to the axle. A misaligned sprocket will cause the chain side plates to drag against the teeth, generating excessive heat and prematurely wearing out both the chain and the gears. By combining meticulous alignment, proper tensioning, and the unmatched durability of the RLV Xtreme G/G #35 chain, you create a frictionless power delivery system that outlasts and outperforms the competition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I determine the correct length for my RLV Xtreme #35 chain?

A: This 120-link chain is designed to be cut to your specific needs. Wrap the chain around your engine sprocket and axle sprocket, pull it tight to account for your desired tension, and use a #35 chain breaker to remove the excess links. Always double-check your measurement before cutting.

Q: What is the recommended chain tension for a Briggs LO206 kart?

A: You should aim for 1.5 to 2.5 inches of total vertical deflection at the tightest point of the chain's rotation. Proper tension prevents excessive wear on your clutch bearings and crankshaft while ensuring the chain does not derail during high-speed cornering.

Q: Why is the "Blue Box" RLV chain better than a standard chain?

A: The Blue Box edition features premium Gold/Gold (G/G) side plates and precision-machined rollers. These components are engineered for higher tensile strength and reduced friction, which helps minimize heat generation and prevents the chain from "climbing" the sprocket teeth, ensuring more horsepower reaches the rear tires.

Q: How often should I lubricate my racing chain?

A: You should apply a high-quality kart chain lubricant before every session. Keeping the rollers well-lubricated is essential for maintaining low-drag performance and extending the life of both your chain and your sprockets.
