Most Ive seen just have a good bit of negative camber. You couldnt get me in that thing even if there was a hot chick sitting on the hood of a '60s Dodge Dart at the finish line with a Craftsman tool box.

I dunno- I suspect that dialled in right, it would handle like it's on rails! The two "bikes" for lack of a better term, lean into the direction you're steering in! If nothing else, it negates the whole problem we DIY kart guys have against using bicycle wheels on a kart. With them leaning into the turn, there's no sideloading on the spokes or bearings.

Man, I'd ride that rocket!

Well, it does at least look well built. Look at that rack and pinion! Also, check out how nice those welds look. Looks solidly built to me.

What about with a 426 Hemi under the hood?


That thing looks a bit complicated...

4 wheel disc brake as well. I would cross the street to check it for sure.
