Description

Product Overview

The pinkhatcat 10″ jackshaft is engineered for go‑kart and mini‑bike powertrains that demand precision and durability. Measuring 10 inches in length with a 5/8″ diameter, it incorporates a 3/16″ keyway and dual circlip slots at each end, providing a secure, slip‑free connection to the crankshaft. Constructed from hot‑dip galvanized steel, the shaft resists rust and wear, extending service life even under high‑rpm conditions. Package dimensions are compact (10.16 x 1.14 x 0.98 inches) and the unit weighs just 13.1 ounces, making storage and handling effortless.

Usage

Designed for both competitive racing and casual hobby projects, this jackshaft fits a wide range of go‑kart and mini‑bike engines that specify a 5/8″ shaft with a 3/16″ keyway.
