:iagree: :thumbsup: i agree with you scout, about having it run from the tc to the diff but i dont agree with is any fancy/expensive/hard to piece together diff. i respect your ideas, but i want a simple "this will do it" kinda diff, and so you know, yes i know my way around sheetmetal, and...

quick mock up. i like it.

not bad, thanks :thumbsup:

how heavy is the whole rear end setup?

will i still be able to make it around 600 lbs and have some kind of power with this way of doing it?

no, as i have yet to make it. unless you have a better idea, i should suppose it would look something like this. + a special surprise too :)

its similar to an auto rear end, drive shaft + diff like a regular car, but with a smaller, shorter wheelbase. budget is less than $1500 i would suppose. i plan to look around on craigslist and find some scrap metal for floors, quarterpanels and roof bits, then fibreglass the doors, trunk, hood...

ok, i understand what you are saying and I agree that it would work for another kind of vehicle, but I want it to have an FR layout (front engine/rear wheel drive) not MR or RR :/ Im thinking of putting a motorcycle transmission in there, like the ones those belted Harleys have, but hook it up...

no, this is not to be a street legal machine, its gonna be a trailer baby, probably used down at the stave lake trails (big mud pit with little dirt roads, for all else). I intend to have safety equipment (seatbelts, proper seats, Etc.), full roll cage, sidemirrors, and a big red button kill...

ok i am creating a 1/2-3/4 scale car, it is not a pre developed machine. it is a creature that has yet to be made. the snowmobile does not have a transmission.

well the reason i want to use the 440cc and not the 600-1000cc is because i dont happen to have $600-1000 laying around. the project is being constructed on the very tightest budget. I would love to make some 200-400hp hayabusa monster motor go in there, but my budget wont allow it. More...

ok well here is what its going to be in the end. small Rx3 "Go - mobile" wheelbase 4ft wide by 6ft deep. 4ft tall 500 some-odd pounds something like that... first pic to show base of idea, second to show similar motor, third for base size comparison.

does anyone here know how to make a 440cc polaris snowmobile motor do 50+ k/mh with 650+ pounds of weight behind it? im stumped.:surrender:

:iagree: Yup, ill definitely be doing that, I think ill make it similar to a quarter midget racer, kinda looks similar... unfortunately I haven't had time to work on it, but I hope to get some time freed up soon

I have the frame and everything else associated with it in the photo gallery and project log :)

i had this same issue on my compressor, it might be overheating... (that was the problem with mine)

maybe this would look nice on it, i think its kind of like what 'sid was looking for

I like the idea of having the back be the front, but I already have an idea of what I want the thing to look like, and that just isn't it... maybe another time... the idea I have is to slant the rear end and make it kinda like a Shelby Cobra Daytona, then for the front all I have to do is fab...

mock up of the front end.

alrighty then.
