Looking very good.
Yea you’re right I’m no expert and could be completely wrong but the spindles have offset pivot points and the front chassis raises about half an inch if I turn left or right since the camber changes when turning. I figured weight would want to pull the wheels back straight from what I’ve read about king pin Inclination but yea I hope anyway.Certainly could be just the way I'm "casting" my glance at that front end, but it so very much looks like you didn't build any caster into it at all. I personally prefer more, but it seems most folks like 3-5 degrees of caster to keep the front wheels naturally returning to straight ahead at speed.
Very true I kinda learned that that hard way today lolfor the engine mounting plate... ADD SUPPORT UNDER IT, I made that mistake and it took me FOREVER to figure out why the chain kept popping off
Yea it’s pretty small lol I always been a fan of small compact things. I’m sure I look like bowser in Mario kart 64 or something since I’m pretty tall and about 220 lbs but yea.. Pedal to seat back is about 32 inches. Wheelbase is 44 inchesLookin' good
...but, seems ta be a bit on the short or small side
What is the pedal to seat back distance, going to be?
How tall are you?
Do you prefer plaid or Kaki? (um...I mean...never mind)
I built a smallish kart a few years back named !ARRIBA!Yea it’s pretty small lol I always been a fan of small compact things. I’m sure I look like bowser in Mario kart 64 or something since I’m pretty tall and about 220 lbs but yea.. Pedal to seat back is about 32 inches. Wheelbase is 44 inches
Hoping for your sake you don't have to bleed it all. I got that same cheesy master cylinder, came with a caliper and 18" line as a single unit, it was about $21 back then. Purposely got it and a 84" line to reach the back of my really long kart.The bleeder is at the top.
I got them from Amazon like this kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08CZBMND5/ref=sspa_mw_detail_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1What are those front spindles off of? I kind of like them.
That things got a lot of torque and it’s electric that’s pretty sweet! Like a little tugI built a smallish kart a few years back named !ARRIBA!
Here is a video I made of 'er "showin' off"
Yea me too lol I like that reservoir one might be a future upgradeHoping for your sake you don't have to bleed it all…https://www.ebay.com/itm/352914069603
I had to slowly get all the parts together over a span of a few months to fly under the radar. Got the usual eye roll when she figured it out lolDid you have to buy flowers to make the wife ok with the build?

Yea I hear that I may dust off the old motocross chest protector for other riders. For me I’m more concerned for my junk if you know what I mean lolThe only thing that concerns me is in an accident with the straight steering wheel it will catch you and your body will absorb the crash. Instead of letting you get flung clear of the crash.
