Seeing as its been some months

[dadindy]

Hello Gents,

I'm not exactly new here but its been ages since I last post so I thought I would reintroduce myself and let you all know whats been happening...

I continue to build my go-kart, albeit at a much slower pace. The Dirt Devil is taking shape now after a couple of months not working on it. I've got the rear swing arm, axle and chain drive all working (I hope!!!) Which is great, but I would of liked to of been much futher along with the build now but illness in my close family as ment I have had to channel my efforts else where. But thats life and life has to continue.

I hope http://youtu.be/Re1lWLH9v7s link shows up and you can see me bounce on the rear swing arm.

and this minute and half walk around shows most the cart, sorry its dark in its quality. http://youtu.be/7SRZx-GSK2c

I am hoping that some of time can now be devoted once again to the Dirt Devil

I'm glad you are back!

My Dirt Devil Build is pretty silent at the moment aswell. It is STILL icecold outside and next week I have exams. As soon as they end, I'll be back aswell.

Btw, don't you think your Dirt Devil is too short aswell? I will lengthen mine.
Your Dirt Devil looks great already! Nice job!Are you sure that axle will hold? The bearings will be pretty far away from the wheels. Is that an 1" inch axle btw?

Hey Nodroz

Its great to be back,

Its also freezing cold here, snowed all night, so instead of welding I spent last night in the mix making the music for the video.

You're right the kart is rather short, I won't be lengthening this one but along with a different design for the bearing support I will make modifications to my next version of it...

The axle is 1 an a 8th by the way !!!
