Bummer, well if you can't do it atm can you draw some better plans for those who are interested and have parts to spare?

Looks interesting, let me know how this goes :iagree:

mhmm, thx for the info, i'm wondering what the karts and Kingston Park are pushing if they can do 80km/h Will post pics once frame is welded together and whatnot
