Love the lit whip. Good idea for everyone on a kart or buggy as an upgrade to the old whip flag. Like I mentioned much earlier, the ‘whip wiggle’ adds a neat surreal surging effect on the videos.

I'm still new to lit whips so not familiar with this "surging effect" you mention. Assuming it's for video shooting from bystanders etc... ?

 

[Hellion]

One of your earlier videos, the night one I think, has that surging effect on the camera, or just makes it look like you are rhythmically accelerating and decelerating. Idk, I’m weird.

 

[pinkpanda3310]

Oh, right. I understand. When the whip is flexing front to back = surge

I get that on the little kart. That set up is a spring at the base with a relatively rigid stick

Just fitted a new (2nd hand) seat today. Got it for free. I haven't gone for a drive yet but so far so good, feels comfy...

Working on transporting all my karts at once. Little kart fits in the tray beside the toolbox, buggy in a trailer, and this mid-sized kart on the roof rack. I still got some figure'ns to do as the angle is a bit sharp going from ramp to roof rack. I've got a winch to do the heavy lifting side of things...

Possible to load the roof from the trailer?

Possible to load the roof from the trailer?

That was sort of my solution with my Ranger. Left the trailer attached and built ramps to go from ground to trailer, then from the trailer to the bed. Four wheeler first, go kart next, minibike at the very rear, sideways. Nice little "rig" that the kids could manage. We can pull off anywhere and be riding in seconds.

Trying to find pictures...

Yeh I'll try that. Was kinda hoping to get it up there without the need for a trailer, for when I just want the one kart but it looks like I'll need the trailer anyway
