My Sidewinder build
Bernd:
Tim,
Nice job welding there. :thumbup:
I see there is no differential. Hows that work for going around corners?

I was going to ask the same question as Bernd, but he beat me to it.
That is a wonderful bit of kit you are making there Tim.
If I was a few years younger, I think I would be making one alongside it.
Very nicely done.

Thanks great progress Tim :thumbup: interested to see how the drive chain and differential is going to be set up.

Are both rear wheels driving or is it set up like smaller carts, with one wheel running free? If it's powering both rear wheels, that sucker is going to push badly into the corners. Some damned large oaks grow in the area where you intend to play...(grin)
I'll be dropping in tomorrow to give it the hairy eyeball... :smart:

There is no differential in the rear. Trying to achieve maximum traction first steering second. I still have no idea how this thing will handle but, in my old cart more steering was done by brake and throttle manipulation that with the front wheels. Thats was the part I enjoyed so much. I could go into a turn at WOT and turn , tap breaks, and hit the gas again while throwing my weight and it could spin around. Ive gotten quite a bit heavier since then but this buggy is much heavier than my last kart.
Steve give me a call. Take note what time this post was made , lol. I have been up since 7AM on a Friday :bugeye: Goal today is to get throttle and clutch cables, brake line, and some exhaust tube.
