gears are only a small piece of the puzzle

I know each and every one of you think a better top speed and cruising speed would better suit the 110. which is why i invested a good bit of savings on a machinist to tell me he couldnt cut gears because the materials were too hard.
i now had a 132cc highly modified rattler engine sitting on the shelf needing a set of gears badly. that was not the result i was looking for so i embarked on making my own gearset. i have come up with a taller set i machined to fit but need one last part before i'll post pics in a week or so. I have about 4 hrs in this set so it may be possible to build a few more if people were intersted but they need to be tested at this point. the math shows a 25% increase in top speed. so with a 62mph average it would then be capable of 80mph. I still have a bit more work to do before testing so check back in about a month to see the result, but ill keep posting my progress.
