Hello from Tampa Bay!!!

Hello All,

Names Dave. Not building a car from scratch, but wanting to modify my 5yr olds 36v Radioflyer “Flyer” drift cart. List of mods wanted:
Battery upgrades.
Motor upgrades
Gearbox upgrades
Brake addition
Everything else is aesthetics

All helpful advice is welcome! I’m handy but in no way a mechanic.

thanks again!!!

Welcome! The biggest improvement you could make is to add a gasoline 212 Predator engine!

Welcome!
The first thing we need, before we even start spouting our sometimes brilliant ideas, would be pictures of this drift cart.
If it is anything like the smaller Razor scooters, there might not be much you can do, without "building a car from scratch" and trying to keep it all under the Razor body.

All helpful advice is welcome

Helpful advice? WTF? Apparantly you don't know where ya are.
perhaps our resident electron whisperer will stop by. He's probably yer best chance of getting anything "helpful".

Here is a video of Polaris
It is powered by a 48V ~15Ah lithium battery pack
...& is motivated by a 48V 1,000W brushed motor

* Hey fellas, this video has some "footage" showing the freewheel "feature" in action

Start another thread with photos in the appropriate section. We like photos, we have the technology so we use it. I would suggest creating a new thread in Electric Projects as that seems proper and is where you will get the most visibility. Post photos directly to the forum via the pictogram "Insert Image" button right between the chain and smilies button.
