    I was finally able to catch a decently priced Vintage Race Kart. Who can tell me what it is? ;-P

    I've checked for a name plate of any kind. Only thing I see is on the engine. Update. Facebook was able to help me out. It is an 1983 or 84 Coyote Bullet. Confirmed by the short side wings and odd inner motor mount bar. .

    What is a Razor Dune Buggy?

    It is a go kart which is not street legal. I wouldn't test my luck driving a fast one down city sidewalks either though. In no way it is an E-bike because it does not have pedals.

    How to add king pin inclination to a yard kart to reduce turning radius?

    yeah. That's what I was talking about in my 2nd paragraph in the first post. The piece to add to the steering shaft. "Pitman arm". Thank you for all the correct terminology.

    How to add king pin inclination to a yard kart to reduce turning radius?

    Thanks I do get that an just read FA's latest build thread where he explains Ackerman. I guess what I would need help with is how to do the string method when my spindles are setup with the ends out in front of the front axle versus behind it.

    How to add king pin inclination to a yard kart to reduce turning radius?

    I know KPI is what causes the inside tire to lift in turns on race karts. I need some of that with my small yard kart. It has a short wheel base but has a large turning radius on the street which is solely where I use it. I'm also thinking about ditching the parallel steering tie rod and...

    Making an electric go kart

    Any of these Chinese gokart setups on Amazon would work fine. You can go with a handbrake or setup a foot brake. This example is setup for front and rear brakes...

    Making an electric go kart

    Weight and top speed determine the recommended brake. Mechanical brakes are very weak compared to even cheap hydraulics options.

    Kelley KLS-S and Boma 48v 1800w?

    Your yard is going to look horrible line mine soon. I've got 4" wide slicks on my smaller kart and they dig ruts like crazy. I ran 11" wide slicks on my Manco conversion and they did no damage. They also had really rounded edges though so I bet that also helped. You can see the tire difference...

    No clue about brake regen. I installed an MCP hydraulic brake disc.

    Kelley KLS-S and Boma 48v 1800w?

    You've got more MPH and acceleration available. Kelly gave me these settings for increasing acceleration power. Accel Time at 1 TPS MAP at 80. Torque speed Kp at 6000 Torque speed Ki at 400 Speed err limit at 4000 Also, make sure battery and phase current are set to 100% if you truly want to...

    I run the same type of contactor, sucks yours failed. I'm impressed buy how much room there is behind your seat. My motor almost touched the back of my seat. I do remember that your chassis was made to handle larger engines so that makes sense.

    Kelley KLS-S and Boma 48v 1800w?

    You are correct. The BT connection is far more convenient than hardwire to a laptop. P.S. No chain on the motor when doing the initial setup.

    Kelley KLS-S and Boma 48v 1800w?

    Cool, I thought you ordered the Kelly you mentioned earlier. Did you order the Bluetooth dongle? I'm running a KLS96501-8080H and the BT connection is very helpful.

    Kelley KLS-S and Boma 48v 1800w?

    You've got that in the bag. You're only limited by your controller (50 amps cont) otherwise your battery and motor are stout.

    You'll be doing over 40mph if you want to. May get a little hairy though. :wai:

    My battery was held in place with a strap as well. I built a frame that went around the bottom of the battery and the strap held it down. If the plate is that thick is should be fine. The one I watch a video on was thinner material but was purchased from ebay. How many volts is your pack?
