Well i've been searching for torque converters better than the TAV30 for the 3/4" shaft .. 44 Magnum series isn't any better. It's max RPM is 5000. i need to be able to pass cars on the highway and not just keep up with them.

Hitchhike...and hope someone with a fast car picks you up....meanwhile....just shut up...you can't outrun a three legged turtle.

Noram 3700.. my dream clutch.. handles up to 50hp but costs over $500

..or maybe i'm just missing the fact that it is a belt problem and i need a better one that grips better at higher RPMs.

So you lengthened your frame to run the TC and now you want to go back to a clutch!

If i had plenty more money to afford it i would.

its up to 50horsepowers mayne. The best power handler i've seen so far. and if i had it and more money left over after that my light weight car engine build would be just about ready to go.

Alright...so Chancer doesn't seem to want to link this....(and I can't) .????

Anyone? ?? A link to ZZ Tops 'Master of Sparks'?

Master of Spit

" FreeRunner 15 came spoutin off
pessin off folks and crossin lines.
He doesn't wait for a Saturday night
to lose his mind and put a hurt on mine.

He invited us to ride on his short bus
and look at a build of his.
And then we got...a real good look
at a guy who must be really high!

In his posts, we saw a gokart joke....
cobbled into shape by him, made out of sub-par guage.
How fine we cried, now with you inside
...mourh shut?and gokart bound.
My oh my....how that thing could fly
If it was really like you made it sound.

But he was out in the sticks
with the rest of the hicks
Drinkin booze and smokin Skoal
So at the end of the day,
there ain't nothin to say
...but the Master of Spit is DROLL!"
(sung to Master of Sparks music)

Look at all the crap hanging off little bro

 

[FreeRunner15]

i'm going to install the cam on the 212 first.

i keep having back and forth thoughts like a tornado on what i should do.

i agree i need to take off those few pieces of tape and take a better pic. No air filter for the 390carb.

Man if only i could afford the Father...the 670cc wheww. and 2 wheel drive..and a 50horsepower clutch .
Donations to the cause anyone? i would gladly accept and use for kart purposes.

Let me tell you what I used to tell my wife and everyone else here is thinking:

Why don't you just shut up and drive?

...Oh wait! You can't....because your POS EVERYTHING. doesn't actually work!

 

[lurch9]

Seems to me that you should've used the money, from big bro, to get the kart to move and stop safely.

I bet you completely ruin the big engine, just like you've ruined the 212.

I have yet to see video of your kart running, driving, and stopping.


You have quite the collection of paperweights....I mean kart parts....my bad.

That is true. Even though i cancelled my order i still received it instead of a check.

i'm saving the moments of it running for when i get this camera. the cheap small one i had only lasted 2 uses. at least i got a refund.

Anywayss.. i need to grind the BLOCK for this .290 cam. Literally only need to grind a little. but it is way too hot for this.

 

[Poboy kartman]

Nope....well...let me rephrase that:NOPE!!!! See...it's not just the welding that's a problem....you lack the ability and equipment to pull it off. Basically...as the saying goes: you don't stand a snowball's chancer in He77 to pull it off.

Just thinking you can shows a deep void in knowledge. Put it this way: you must intimately understand something before you can improve it...(and you don't....but even IF you did...you simply DON'T have the tools to make it happen.

Let's take one small analogy of a very small piece of a very complex machine for an example: in the 60's "rails" were front engine machines that smoked the tires almost all the way down the track. Now..."top fuel dragsters" don't smoke the tires unless something goes wrong. Besides the suspension design, the rear engines, the better tires and the top crew chiefs...one little itsy bitsty thing that can escape attention unless attention is paid is the rear tires...despite the fact that years of development have gone into thr development of the rubber compounds to make thrse tires grip...there's a very simple yet ingenious action that goes on there....

These things are nearly flat at take off....giving extra traction...but as they "spool up"...something else happens you can see in slow motion...the "footprint" of these slicks becomes smaller...while the diameter increases dramatically....essentially...an extra gear!

So...unless you REALLY study something..and understand where it started...and where it is now...you are just as likely to follow the road of past failure as blaze a trail through new territory! !!! Sorry...but that's the truth...if you want to buck the status quo....first...you have to know and understand it....

And being unable to capitalize or punctuate properly in a simple post....does NOT inspire confidence in me that you even have a clue....

Just to start with: what lift/duration / and lobe separation are you starting with....and what are your target numbers...and why?

Uh huh...Deja Vu all over again!
