Finishing up the last few things- but she took it out and the turning is 100 times easier. Held up and didn’t have any tires fall off or collapse. Haha Got the scooter controller installed and moved the aftermarket battery to the back as well. Then put the original batter back in the front and...

Ordered an 11 inch steering wheel today along with that steering wheel hub assembly and a few shaft lock collars. I’ve got one side bolted on and it feels solid. Used 6” L- bracket to tie into- 3 5/16” bolts to hold each one in place. But a steel plate down on both sides and also has an...

Also, you think something like this would work ok to be able to attach a larger steering wheel- would let me get away with not welding anything. From bmikarts-

So things have been going slow- work/life has been hectic and never a dull moment. But finally was able to make some progress on the rack and pinion. Purchased 1/4” tie rods at first, but seemed to flimsy- went back and got the 3/8” and are much sturdier. Trick is going to be making sure I...

Been mainly posting on my phone and a pain to post pics. Haha The new rack is all metal except the rack, pinion gear, and the spindles. So IMO I think it should be strong enough. And I think that redoing the tie rods would probably be the easiest fix. So When I do the redo the tie rods I may...

So I had a longer and better explanation but somehow it all got deleted. But I ordered a rack and pinion set up for the Peg Perego Gaucho Rock’in edition since the cars were the same width. Crossed my fingers it was going to be an easy job- of course it won’t be at all. Where the steering...

No I appreciate it. It doesn’t look as ridiculous in person, but for some reason thought it looked better when I dry fit everything together. ����*♂️ It’s the furniture grade PVC so it won’t shatter with the UV rays from the sun- but about 3-4x the cost of regular...

First time on a project like this and thought the light bar wouldn’t put out nearly that amount of light. :oops: And in my head the roll bar seemed like a good idea- going to tinker around with it and try to put 45s at the front to get some angle toward the back instead of just being up and...

Here are a couple pictures of the side view and front of the Jeep. As you can tell got a little too big on the roll cage I built as well as a bit too much light for the light bar. Haha The last picture shows the 24V addition of the RZR. It’s about 2.5-3” wider but uses a rack and pinion I...

Is there a recommendation or standard as far as the size I should get vs the width of the “car” or the tires? Seeing sizes all over the place- I will still need to get the spindles and weld those to a solid frame, correct? As far as mounting the rack and pinion each, if I put a steel beam the...

Anywhere have a good diagram about exactly how it pieces together? I’ve looked around at several places and see the kits, etc, but would probably need to buy different tie rods since the steering wheel is not in the center. Will need one around 5-6” and one 17-18”. I originally thought about...

First post and new to the forum- tried to do a few searches and didn’t see anything related. I have a little girl and trying to make the steering on her Peg Perego RZR 900 12V ride on Jeep easier. Will putting a go kart steering set up make it easier or harder to steer? I replaced the plastic...
