Mini Barstool Racer

[brendonv]

So i was bored and whipped this up. Still have to add a seat, make some pedals and connect the throttle and make some lil scrub brakes. Then give it a coat of flat black and thats all. I made this with stuff i had lying around so the total cost is $0.00.

It has a 3hp with a 6:1 ratio (i think from memory or 7:1) and it weights ruffly 20ish kg i would say so it will have some go. I dont plan on going over 35km/h with it anyway its really just a thing to show mates and tonk around on and chuck the lil nephew on.

Anyway enjoy.

You may want to check the steering/ toe out. Also, that slope may not work for oiling the motor assuming it's a splash style lube. Otherwise looking great.

Nah the slope is fine since racing motor mounts are like 15 degrees anyway. The toe out can easily be fixed in like 5 mins i just couldnt be bothered.

Cheers for the post.

i dont thinkpure accuracy is really a biggy on this sort of thing
saying that 35 kph i wouldnt go much faster than a fast jog (mass under steer)
oh yeah love the odd wheel

are you not going to be starving the engine of cooling, giving that you are covering it over?

 

[redsox985]

That's most likely going to get way too hot. Especially how your seat is made to endure cold, not hot. It may melt and/or warp.

Yer im not doing the esky method anymore. I made this vid a while ago.

 

[brendonv]

Its all finished now. Just needs to be stripped back, cleaned up and painted. Oh yeh, it also needs scrub brakes XD Its fine without brakes for the moment as its only for the backyard and will only hit about 10km/h.
