    Urban Kart Racing

    Looks good. But that setup is technically mid-engine, not rear :) (I know what you meant though)

    Brainstorming for new build.

    I bought one of these rotors from BMI: http://www.bmikarts.com/item/8-Brake-Rotor---Black-05706B-6557 And the quality is really great, especially considering the price!

    Who here would want something like this? (Idea)

    toystory: I just watched this video on how that autolocking diff you linked to works: kL0hPEOStGk And now I'm inclined to agree with you that it would be ideal. Question though: Imagine that the ring gear inside the diff is actually our chain sprocket. Wouldn't engine braking cause the axles...

    I don't know if creating a differential similar to the one toystory linked to would be simpler to make as opposed to a couple of hubs and rotors fabbed to a one way bearing.

    Who here would want something like this? (Idea)

    After some more thinking: To combat the price, brake, reverse, and engine braking issues, one could use a regular keyed hub on one side of the axle, and the one way bearing hub on the other, no? This will allow dual wheel traction in a straight line, and allow the wheels to turn at different...

    Actually -- I think it would be viable that the outer race of the hub (that contains the wheel lugs) also extends to the other (inner) side of the wheel, holding a brake rotor. So basically like I said earlier, just like the front brakes on race karts.

    Who here would want something like this? (Idea)

    Right. I was going to model it after the sprag clutches found in transmissions. The one way bearing packs that r97 gave a link to would probably work just as well. The biggest thing now is the brake issue. I thought up this hub idea to possibly save people money on a differential while...

    Who here would want something like this? (Idea)

    Thank you toystory. So there is my first hurdle. If engine braking, or just braking, the axle will lock up and the wheels will continue to spin. I would need the brake rotors to be attached to the outer race of the hub bearing, or wheel, similar to the brake setups on race kart front wheels...

    Thanks for the input klicky. I am drawing up some plans to bring to a machinist.

    Haha I was expecting that answer. The characteristics of a differential is completely different from what I described

    Hey guys, I've been thinking about various products to make to generate some side profit. I have one idea for kart building. BTW I know a lot of you know about the couple points I'm about to say already, but I want to be thorough, so bear with me. So I'm sure you guys have all seen a bicycle...

    Bleed brakes

    Or you can get a clean grease canister from your auto parts store, throw brake fluid in it, and attach the hose to the caliper bleed screw. Open up the bleed screw half a turn and pump the canister until no more bubbles come out of the reservoir.

    Turbo/SC project with my bro

    Much better for the SC. Sounds like a fun project

    Turbo/SC project with my bro

    The turbo wont spool hard enough to make any power, and I explained the supercharger in your other thread

    5HP briggs supercharged!

    If you fully build your motor with forged internals, stroked bore, flat top piston, agressive cams, etc, you might have enough power to somewhat more efficiently operate the SC. But more importantly, the motor would be more tolerant to higher boost levels, meaning you wont have to tune down...
