It's a new year & I would like to challenge everyone to "Step their Game Up a Notch"
...but, "safely" nuthin' radical
My "Step your Game Up a Notch" goals for 2020 include
1.) maybe try workin' with Higher Voltage Systems
There's some 72V set up's available that look interesting.
2.) maybe try workin with some "thin wall" steel tube
DOM (drawn Over Mandrel) tube is really strong listed as
ASTM A513 1020 Mechanical Grade (Tensile=80,000 +/-)
...but, really expensive (~$4.00 per ft.)
Lookin' around, I found HREW (Hot Rolled Electric Welded) steel tube (~$1.50 per ft.) listed as ASTM A513 1010 Structural Grade (Tensile=58,000 +/-)

It's not quite as strong as DOM
...but, I'm thinkin' that it should work well for go karts
3.) maybe try to incorporate more Lithium "power supplies" into my projects.
Their lighter, more power-ful & re-charge faster
The 7.5V 66AH modules from Nissan Leaf vehicles look kinda interesting (~$75.00 ea.)

...or (7) modules 48V 66AH with BMS (battery management system)(~$475.00)

Well, anyone up for a challenge?
…& maybe a few of ya's should plant some trees
