1 is better but neither one will hold up very well, cuz.... that steering support hoop is not secure. Continue the green "braces" to the front steering hoop and beyond, angled down to the frame. That makes your steering hoop stronger, more capable of taking the pounding from the rear...

The hub between the two rotors needs to be 1.75 thick to clear stuff and the calipers take up a buncha room. I don't mind gaining some weight in a trade off for durability. Some weight might be welcome. The thing is going to be stupid fast and the top end (on paper) is easily into tripple...

there's yer problem....

Nice find! Nice price! have fun!

And you expected something different?

See how easily we get distracred? Oh! Look! SQUIRREL!

This week on "hacks garage" we made a axle for the rear center section. Dats where the sprocket and brakes go. For now just the two rear brakes. turning the axle to 1.625 to accept the hub with 2 rotors. had to use that big spinna machime in the corner. Den the hub was slid onto the axle and...

Dis ain't no aircraft, its afriggin tractor. But l know whatcha mean. I used to make some special aircraft bearings for the DOD. For every pound of bearings was 2 pounds of cerificates, inspection logs, material orrigination forms and various other paperwork.

After a week of repairing the lawn tractor and having to rob a bank to pay for it the parts, I went back to work in the project. Made a stub axle for the rear suspension upright/hub assembly thingy. Actually made it round! https://youtube.com/shorts/RqJZ0qGPZh0?si=mrvbc6DGvw0s_qjc Ya never been...

Doesn't sound so attractive now. Still half price of a USA made cell. I've had problems with leaky caps, or caps that are a fight to get open or closed. l'm like'n the old school 1/2 turn cap or the threaded pipe caps.

Yeah thats where i've been looking. I always wonder about quailty, given the source. The last few things l got from ebay have actually been decent quality.

Very nice! Looks great! Yer giving me ideas.... what size are those wheels?

Yes! Absolutley! We are a sick bunch here. And the rest of hang out here bored so anything blood and guts and oil and grease gives us the satisfaction of knowing " it aint my junk"! Just joking! We try to stay serious 'round here but someone always has to be a clown! Seriously, having never...

Most of those questions you'll have to answer yourself. Is it worth it? To me no. To your grand kids? Absolutley! When they grow up even more so. Electric? Batteries, motor, controller all add up to bux. Gas? $150 engine ready to run and some things like chain, probably a bunch other misc items...

I think you missed the point. Probably cuz of my misleading comment. What that was ment to say is: For the most part we are a bunch of cheap fu@@s. We tend to scrounge, fix, repurpose, recycle, re use, anything but buy new. Buy new only whenn all other options have been exhausted. For that...

My apologies, wrong forum!
