My brain has turned to MUSH
Divide the driven into the driver sprocket...The added trans throws a wrench into the machine...I know in tight trails 10 to 1 is optimal for brute grunt to get moving and a realistic top end...But that is in the woods, and tight trails

Is that for the CVT set-ups or a cog trans? Seems I might be defeating the purpose of the trans if I have to go that deep?!?!

 That's something I do like about the 5 speed thing...I can use the gears for what ever coming down the road. I want 5th for the fastest desert stuff and for when I drive on the street. I don't want to gear it 'wrong' and have the power in the wrong places.

 The RC is pretty long legged, I was 13T x 60t and 22" tires...clutch chatter was horrible getting it rolling. I know I need to be deeper than that (4.6 to 1).

Do you know the ratio's for the other gears in the Honda?  What gear you gonna run Honda in mostly?  I'd shoot for 5.5-6 to 1 final.
You can keep your CHANGE, I'd like to keep my DOLLAR.

Honda trans ratios as follows:

1st 3.250
2nd 1.894
3rd 1.259
4th 0.937
5th 0.771

Final is 4.250
