there is no question... PVC is not strong enough.... This is stupid. You are stupid. Maybe you should try gluing some macaroni to a piece of paper before you try to make a machine. Seriously. You ignore everyone in this thread so you will probably ignore this post too. Put down the screwdriver...

Yup... he is still alive....but trying to not be :wai:

You should really invest in some better lighting than what you listed. halogen is a power pig and will suck a battery dry on the quick. I put some of these on my jeep for offroad lights. http://www.kmdgarage.com/quantum-6-led-light-bar/ My god man... you want to talk about light?! Mine were...

my buddy tested my roll cage for me.... it works. slight tweak but nothing bad lol. you cannot try to do doughnuts on asphalt with 22" knobbies and expect nothing bad to happen

That is a bit of distance from your mount....not to mention on a different axis. You will see a torsion on the mount and a complex force of torsion and compression. Make sure you box that mount and make it beefy. I dont think you would want anything less than 3/8" steel for that. In order to...

As long as you keep everything linear you should be ok....as long as your steel is a good grade. Dont make the caliper float too far from the mounting points. Any way you could draw up a design really quick just to see what you are looking at doing? Braking forces are a complex mixture of...

:smiley_omg::roflol::funnypost: YES! Im rooting for Darwin on this one! :wai:

It might be a bit too old of a reference for you young bucks... haha

Heres another for yas :lolgoku:

I think he is saying that the m*a is substantial with this one. :D (My engineering buddies will get this)

:roflol:My buddy made a pic today from a snapshot of one of my videos. I figured I would share :D

I LOVE that kart, Kelly. Reminds me of the old WWII Jeep BellyFlopper. Maybe yours can carry the nickname "Spinepopper" or something, i dunno :) Awesome looking build though.

Dont forget to reinforce with duck tape and JB weld. Maybe carry a roll of bailing twine so you can repair the frame splinters on the fly. With that being said, you should also carry some tweezers.

I downloaded an APP on my iphone called "Max Speed". Open the app, put the phone in your pocket and GO. It also gives you cool snapshots like this: http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o240/djeeper/FD3B8523-3484-461C-A30A-A8B8687E17BA-9944-00000C7620BEB4AD.jpg Much safer than having a chase car...

*golf clap* I like where this is going (evil grin). That is a sexy looking kart. I think when you put some bigger tires on the rear you should definitely upgrade the fronts too. Otherwise, I see many endo's in your future :-p Subscribed!

Oh IM the troll? I think you have a case of the "role-reversals":popcorn: Please, carry on with your methodical suicide.:cheers2:

well obviously the most powerful engine is going to be one with a cylinder pointing downward and on a treadmill. but will it take off?

Is it bad that there is a side of me that wants to see this kid build this kart with all of our loving support, cheering him on as he nails 2x4s together in a box frame, and see him wreck the heck out of it? Go for it dude! You can do anything if you put your mind to it! (just take video and...
