Description

501-S Lightweight Aluminum Sprocket Carrier – 1-1/4" Bore | 6-Bolt Pattern for Go-Karts


The 501-S Lightweight Sprocket Carrier is precision-machined from high-quality billet aluminum and anodized for durability and corrosion resistance. Designed with weight savings in mind, this carrier significantly reduces rotational inertia, making it ideal for competitive stock or low-horsepower kart classes where responsiveness and acceleration are critical.


It features a 1-1/4" bore and a standard 6-bolt, 5.25" bolt circle pattern compatible with #219, #35, #40, and similar go-kart sprockets. Unlike traditional single-bolt clamp designs, the 501-S uses dual 1/4"-28 clamping bolts, offering evenly distributed pressure around the axle for a more secure, balanced fit.


Specifications:

  • Material: Lightweight billet aluminum, anodized finish
  • Bore Size: 1-1/4"
  • Bolt Pattern: 6-bolt x 5.25" bolt circle
  • Sprocket Bore: 4.5625"
  • Compatible Sprockets: #219, #35, #40 (and similar)
  • Clamping Mechanism: Dual bolt (1/4"-28 hardware included)
  • Recommended Use: Stock or low horsepower kart racing classes


Key Features:

  • Lightweight design reduces rotating mass for improved acceleration
  • Machined from durable billet aluminum
  • Dual-bolt clamping ensures superior grip and axle stability
  • Anodized for corrosion resistance and long service life
  • Compatible with multiple chain and sprocket types


Performance Tip:

Use with a 1-1/4" rear axle and properly torque both bolts for optimal clamping force. Ideal for racers looking to shave rotating weight without compromising strength.

FAQ

What axle size does the 501-S sprocket carrier fit?

It fits a 1-1/4 inch rear axle, which is standard in many racing LTO(Left-Turn Only) and recreational go-kart chassis.


What sprockets are compatible with this carrier?

The 501-S fits most #219, #35, and #40 sprockets that use a 6-bolt pattern with a 5.25" bolt circle and 4.5625" sprocket bore.


What makes this sprocket carrier “lightweight”?

It's precision-machined from billet aluminum, reducing rotational mass to improve acceleration and handling in racing conditions.


Why does this use two bolts for clamping?

The dual 1/4"-28 bolt clamping system provides more even pressure distribution than single-bolt designs, leading to better grip and alignment.


Is this sprocket hub suitable for high horsepower classes?

It's recommended for stock or low horsepower karting classes. For high-horsepower builds, consider reinforced or heavier-duty options.
