... my mid life crisis has too much control over my wallet...

Nice longarm rear suspension.
Come on, dont be stingy. Need more details!

 

[pinkpanda3310]

Lol, I'm not trying to be stingy. I only looked at it for 20min last night before heading home. If I get time on the weekend I'll try make a small review on it. I'm terrible at talking on camera so don't expect too much...

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Thats a 3rd E-kart right?
Looks like it would do much better in the sand.

 

[pinkpanda3310]

Yeh, #3 Electric. It has bigger wheels than both the other karts

 

[Hellion]

Thanks for the video. Never seen anything quite like it. It’s got shocks in the middle with some unique linkages, high sides, thigh support and is basically like a tub.

It’s got to have a better, more scientific name than “longarm rear suspension” don’t it, WTR? It’s like cantilever or something..

 

[pinkpanda3310]

Yeh, I wish it had at least one name. The zyliathor kart had (and still has) various names but for the western world, or at least the niche group of karting enthusiasts, it became known as zyliathor as they were one of the more popular companies to buy from. This (suspension) kart is not so easy to purchase. I bought it from a whole saler. Haven't seen it available elsewhere... yet. I'm sure it will become popular. In the brief time I had to look it over and drive it, I am SOO looking forward to taking it for a decent spin. At the moment I just call it the suspension kart. I reckon it will totally live up to that name, very reminiscent of a can-am x3

When you hopped inside it it behaved as if you were hopping inside a small boat. *chef’s kiss*

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Cantilever has a middle pivot and the shock would be opposite the wheel. Usually in a different direction of travel.

Thats just a long arm set up.
It even has a sway bar!

 

[pinkpanda3310]

Did a review. I'm not much for presenting so take it with a grain of salt...

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Not much for presenting?

You went over everything with just enough detail.
Well done.

Where can I send a 9v battery to?

 

[pinkpanda3310]

Lol, when I started watching back the video I just knew the smoke alarm was going to get a comment. I'm so used to it now I didn't notice it one bit during shooting

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Moving the top shock mounts rearward and making them more vertical and further back will stiffen your ride.

But you knew that

So what did you pay for it?
I can see that being more massed produced too. Neat platform.

 

[pinkpanda3310]

I can see now that I didn't verbalise the actual price. That will irritate some people

Though I did put the price on the spreadsheet that flashed on the screen. Au$3767 - Us$2478 including shipping

Nice!
...kart & video presentation

You mentioned the battery & charger voltage was 72VDC
...but, I noticed in the video, the motor specs listed as 60VDC

 

[pinkpanda3310]

OMG well spotted i didn't make that connection myself. Some quick and rough calculations later - motor rpm should be around 5500 pushing this kart. That's only 1000 above no load speed so I don't expect the rotor to fly apart. I'm definitely keen to see temperatures after a good run though

 

[pinkpanda3310]

Not that it matters to anything (other than the title of this thread) but I sold the sidewinder buggy yesterday too

This would be a great meme! Those who know, know.

Great review BTW, very thorough, mate!
