Hey Mammoth, Nice kart ...& upgrades too (& pinkpanda...too) :thumbsup: Maybe a PZEM-051 Power Meter (~$25.00 on eBay) would be helpful It displays the ...Voltage (level of the battery pack) ...Power (in Watts) ...Current (in Amps) ...& has a re-settable Energy counter (in Watt Hours) too...

Howdy & :welcome2: I'd suggest researching the LSV (low speed vehicle) laws in your state ...so, you know what the requirements are ...& so, when you present it for review, your vehicle will (hopefully) meet those requirements :thumbsup: &/also, Evaluate/compare the strength & capabilities...

Hey Ez, I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere in the thread ...but, there is a video in post #13 ...where Brad talks about getting most of the specs & details ...from a 1/20 scale plastic model, of this racecar :thumbsup:

IMO it's probably best, if you can leave the "rack to the wheels" as stock Just mount your steering wheel in the center ...& use a "knuckle" joint, in the connecting shaft :thumbsup:

Thanks fellas :cheers2: I did another test ride ...ta get some mileage & power meter readings (data) :sifone:

Gotta have a Reliant Robin in your collection :thumbsup:

Blue stripe test fit I think I'ma gonna go ahead & install 'em (without any lettering &/or star cut outs) for now :cheers2: Yup, we gots us some Red, White & Blue racing stripes :2guns: Another view A view of/from the left side A view of/from the right side Yup, I'ma likin' it :thumbsup:

I got the first Red stripe installed Then, went ahead & installed the second, third & fourth Red stripes :thumbsup: Another view I'm thinkin' the Blue stripe, goin down the center of the (2) red stripes, should be ~3" solid (those (2) are still just maskin' tape) ...leaving us some 1"...

Remember the Red & Blue Vinyl material? Welp, here is the Red I'ma gonna try-n-cut a 1" stripe ...usin' a 1" straight edge ;) I used some maskin' tape for more visual reference ...& did a test fit :thumbsup: Yea, I'ma likin' it :wai: ...so, I cut some more I used a 1/2" straight edge ...ta...

Still thinkin' about hood graphics So, goin' off of this idea I tried this, just to get a visual Then, added a "brown paper" stripe, for more visual reference Then, thought about puttin' somethin' in (actually cut-out) the stripe ...maybe something like this My wife walked by ...& I said...

I've also, been thinkin' about racecar sponsor sticker/decals These are what I rounded up & drawn up...so far :thumbsup: These are pretty much, "peel-n-stick" ...I get my MY-1020 motors from Alfa Wheels ...I use Power Curve sprockets on all of my racers ...& DIYGK has had "had my back" for...

Hey T, Nope...not even started...yet :rolleyes: We (the misses & I) went to a live outdoor music show the other evening (some band she wanted to see) ...& whilst jammin' I drew up this "illustration, of an idea" :innocent: Who would want "my junk"?? & I certainly can't bring myself to SCRAP...

Hey WTR, Seems like "we" B havin' issues duplicating your wonderful artwork :furious2: Because taking a pic, off of a computer screen, affects the appearance (tremendously) Maybe/can ya somehow send these to me, in a form that I can send to the sign/sticker place, without having to take a...

Still workin' on the graphics for this racer ...& doin' a bit of research At first, I wasa thinkin' something like this I like this, even better More drawin' Speakin' of the USA 250 logo My sign/sticker place, seems to be having some trouble re-plicating this USA 250 logo idea Over a week...

Hey Ez, Castor I think she is more used to the steering on her kart ...& the steering on that kart has 0* Castor * I didn't even know about Castor, when I designed & built that kart :unsure: Whereas the steering on this racer has ~5* of Castor ...& as such the steering is a bit more...
