Scorpion+Arachnid=Super Scorpion?

[bagofbones11]

I have an idea... It doesn't seem that hard to implement. I'll just take the front half of the Arachnid chassis and have the one wheel design of the scorpion. The Arachnid has front suspension and with a little modification it seems plausible. Seems simple enough. Is it a good idea?

Make both, slice 'em down the middle, swap the pieces and get two unique karts for the price of two normal ones!

No weight that would be useless. Cool, but useless.

---------------------

I don't see why coupling two designs can't work. Would take some custom work to fit the two together effectively in the middle, I suppose.

It would be cool and useless. But I meant take both plans and merge them to make the scorpion better.

It is doable, but is pointless in my opinion. The arachnids front suspension and steering geometry needs to be completely redesigned, and the one wheel design of the scorpion makes for a very unstable vehicle with limited traction. It would be like combing the worst of both.

Like I said, if its the cool factor your after, go for it, but if you want a performance machine you should do a LOT of reading and design something yourself, or use different plans (no spider carts).

I think its a good idea. with the right setup you can have a pretty stable vehicle with plenty of traction.

where do you plan to use this?

and also while your merging the plans. ide make all the suspension adjustable so you can fine tune it
