Welcome! Have you looked at the "DIY Go Kart Build-Off" Contest?

welcome, I think It's super cool that the internet has as many functions as it does. the only problem is that google translate does not handle spelling errors well. also I am excited to see more spider karts builds!

I spent the weekend fruitfully. Did a great job.

Castor did, shifting the upper lever 2 centimeters back.

The next job will be to Refine the steering rack...

PS. I'm still working on the rear axle. I see it like a Quad bike: a solid axle with a driven sprocket and a brake disc planted on it, at the ends of the hub. What kind of hubs is not yet clear. Tell me, maybe there are already ready-made solutions for assembling the rear axle in the network? Thanks.

you're making good progress. also BMI karts has a kit for this and you may be able to find what you need in the kit.

Movies, so you don't get bored...

Hi.
The weather has improved a little and I go back to the garage.

Try on

Put it all together

I spent a month on the front suspension. How long will it take to assemble the rear suspension? Two? Three?

Thank you for reading this.

Good work on the buggy.

Are you planning to use CV joints and suspension on the rear ?

Some cars have differentials that can be used if you replace the ring gear with a sprocket and add support bearings to mount to the frame.

Here is a link to a video showing how to modify a Mazda Miata or MX5 diff for a buggy. This method may work for the parts you have available.
