Piranha Build

[Gear box]

Now to finishing it, I'll be needing the floor pan hooking the shifter; I noticed that the Edge has there shifter on the left, I'd like to have mine on the right side. Daddy said, he would use some rod and transfer from right to the left; I didn't understand what he meant but he knows what hes talking about.

You'll probably find that the gear shift on the engine is on the left of the engine. Hence having to take it across from the right, to the left.

For the shifter linkage, I would get a long piece of 3/8" or 1/2" solid bar and bend it as needed and add guides to the frame for the bar.

Thanks and like mine it's on the left, I'll do a bar behind the seat from right to left.

Yea, grampa said the same thing, that's what we're going to do I think we are anyway

Did some riding this weekend, tried to down load video of test run it; Times out and wont let me do this task. Found that it nose dives when breaking and on take off it wants to raise the front up while the tires are on the ground, need to strap the a-arms down or something. Maybe it's because I don't have shocks on the rear that it's causing this to happen??????

what
no rear shocks

why

Well, first off the price that the Edge has on the rear shocks! I'm thinking if I'm going to spend that kind of money I would like to go with FOX shocks I like the looks of them and they are cheaper.

Now as you can tell I rode this a lot in the last few days it's dirty I have the floor in and painted, and my shifter in.
I'm looking to get an bonnet and my uncle is wanting to redo some of the issues that this buggy has or make a hole new one this Fall or Winter he said he's not sure yet.

Have you got shock mounts for the rear of your kart, and you just haven't installed any yet, or would you still have to fabricate some?

I all ready have them, just not welded on yet. Not sure of location have to have shocks for this.

Have an up date, broke a PTO shaft right up close to the yoke this past week end. Noticed the Red buggy on the EDGE site has CV's instead of PTO's. My uncle said that he do something like that, so he's back to he drawing broad has new front and rear design for us to try. Got my bonnet and most of the buggy painted and now I will have FOX shocks on all four corners very soon. I have most of buggy torn down right now cut out front end and rear end getting ready for the new parts my uncle has for me. Have pics in a day or two, later I gotta get for school..

the red buggy is a baracuda which is a model up

but cvs are common in piranhas

there is a design for a plate to make the six spline shaft exept a 930 cv
930s are the best as they have the most travel and the easyest to adapt
german cars use them porshe, bmw and voltzwagon

also u can buy them online new from offroad groups

 

[indianblood]

nice build,whats the weight of it? seems very heavy

My uncle said he was using I think he said 944cvs and vw bus axles, but he say that there was changes to made on the existing center and outer shafts

Not really sure, but I'd say around 800lbs; Thought of taking it down to Southernstates having it weighted on their truck scales that you can drive on then I'd get out and see how much.

Now just in my FOX SHOCKS on all fours, still waiting on my uncle to finish up on my front and rear end parts, hopefully I'll have them by the weekend. Also got my bonnet in too, man this thing is going to be smoking hot LOL

It's finished, runs and rides well, looking to build something else soon.
