Hey all, i've been reading a bit of these forums and i think all you guys projects a really cool! Im a 16yr old stutent who for my Systems Engineering Class have chosen to do it on a go-kart. This is will be my major assesment over a 2 year period. I have chosen to make it electric rather than pertol as this incorporates an electriacal aspect to my system which is nessary for me to get a good mark .
My teacher has suggested that i use one of his old wheel chair motors and re-gear it to run my kart, however the projectored speed of my go-kart would then be something of walking pace, which would be ****. I was wondering about the use of a car starter motor and whether that would be a good idea? Or if there are any other good ideas for an electric motor? the only problem is, is that i have a fairly low budget, so wrecking yards and secound hand is all i can go by.
Well if theres anything that anyone nows it would be cool if you let me no
Cheers, Max
