lol... oh yea... its atleast 8-10inches shorter(envision the steering support spreading your crotch, and youre sitting upright, just to be able to clear the pedals w/ your feet)... even "I" feel cramped on it(and Im comfortable in fetal position/kim-chi squat)! It's evidently narrower by bout a ft(outside wheel base)... and even my scrawny @$$ can lift the whole thing up so its only pushing 'maybe' 100lbs, alone(so figuring 200lbs total 'after' all the child items are on it like lights a battery, wiring, relay box... blahblahblah.) It's almost a 2/3 scale of Lo-T, Ill do a comparison shot tomorrow along w/ more shots of the B&S motor... probably a vid of both.

UPDATE*** today I cut off the scrub brakes and made the plate to correct the Achermann geometry, and straightened the slightly bent axle(due to the gyroscope incident). I honestly wont be putting 'too' much thought into this kart(except the motor)... I/we plan on fixing it up to where it is safely fun for ages ?-13(beginner kart), round here a fully built/running kart WITH bells and whistles goes for bout 2-300$(of this karts caliber), so w/ that 2-300$(plus some of my own $) Ill get a Peerless differential for both Lo-T and the A-bone (3rd frame). "that'll" have the predator motor and the daughter and I will find a neutral agreement on the style/appearance of the kart(I really need to name that frame soon).

So long... Farewell... Avedazen, goodbye.... Gooooodbyyyyyye(Family Guy)...

Today I passed Priceline along to another future karter. I sold her w/ the Techumse 5.5, that came w/ the last kart(Miku) I bought from CL (practically a new motor...4-6 hrs run total... then sat for bout a yr).

I let her go for 100$ n a set of Douglas wheels(6.5-5 rear n 5-5 front) he wasnt using... So knocked 50$ off the oringinal 150$ I was gonna sell her for.

This evidently the end of the updates for this post


THE END
