    Offroad big block buggy

    As promised tire pics Tire in the front was packaged really tight and the sidewalls were sucked in and offset to one side. When I get new tires I always spread them with sticks over night. For example my rear tires were going on 8" wide wheels. So I cut 4 pieces of wood(3/4"x3/4") 8-1/2"...

    The hubs are from a 2006 or 08 (can't remember) mini cooper. They have the same spline as the miata axles

    Yes, lots of people use full length miata axles but I think its way too wide. If I used them full length id be 64" wide. For reference my rmax1000 is 65" wide and it'll go anywhere and has a way higher cg than this kart.

    Thank you, I normally overbuild things. On this build I'm trying to keep weight in check as I have a weight and performance goal. Even so it'll still be overbought. I took ideas for the trailing arms from several designs I saw online.
