Here's what I've found:

Differential: 5.125
Transfer Case: 1.409
Transmission: 0.865 5th 88.5 onward
Engine RPM: 5000
Tire dia.: 32

Overall Gear Ratio: 6.246273125 to 1.

The speed at 5000 RPM is 76 MPH or 123 KPH

76 is more than enough if all the stuff I found is accurate.

This is for that red one.

Transfer case is always 1:1 on high and probably 2-2.5 on low.

So it should be at least street capable. That's good to know.

Default 250r axle compatibility

Does anyone know if a 250r axle will fit my current axle carrier? and thanks for the info on the frame issue. i welded a washer on the inside and outside. and i did warp the frame, i accidentally pushed the brake side out about an 1/8th inch and wasn't sure if it could be bent back. and also what is the difference between a 10x6 and a 10x5 front rim?

BigMC has a durablue axle on his 230 and durablue only sells them for 250Rs, so they must fit, but which ones? Dura Blue ATV performance - Axles

A 10x6 rim is 1 inch wider than a 10x5 rim and may have different offset too.

I've got a 250R Durablue axle on my 'sport. it's 3" wider. 85-86 qracers and sports are interchangeable. 87 and later qracer axle splines are different i think.
