After analyzing the picture for a bit, I think what you're getting at is that it's been exactly one year?

Do I win a prize?

 

[ed1380]

does the suspension look good? anything you thinki should change?

 

[kibble]

Why you gotta go and eated my cookie? :toetap05:

Yeah, I think a suspension like that would be pretty cool, just need some cv joints on the rear and a mount for the top bearings.

 

[ed1380]

fine then

i was thinking more of u joints and sliding shafts. cheaper, but yeah still got lots of work to do

 

[kibble]

Stop eating my !!!

U joints would work too and it would be easier to implement. Next kart I build I want to use suspension on too. I want to make it a two seater.

 

[ed1380]

yep. once i decide what im gonna do for the drive train ill do more

 

[oscaryu1]

How is the suspension thing going to keep up? Don't you need shocks or something? (Sorry I'm new to suspension haha)

 

[ed1380]

yeah. i havent added those in yet

 

[I like karts]

 

[oscaryu1]

yeah. i havent added those in yet

Oh haha! Well when ya do, I'd be interested in seeing it. Next build I might try something like that!

 

[ed1380]

i kinda started over. suspension will stay the same for the most part. but its going to be a single seater now

 

[ed1380]

heres what i got so far. had to modify some of the stuff a bit but so far so good.

this was the insperation for my first design and now im making this one from what ive learned http://www.gokartforums.com/pages/page2.asp (hit puma 2.0 on the menu)
http://www.sadik.net/gokart/ another great site

Looks like a good design. But in reality that is ALOT of work and $$ to get it to work.

 

[modelengineer]

Tyler, is there an easier way to get double A-arms to work?

P.S nice work with solidworks ed

 

[ed1380]

heres what i got so far. the suspension look good and the rack and pinion works, but as soon as the rods are conected to the spindles all hell breaks loose

15's up front and 20's on teh back. will that be ok?

 

[oscaryu1]

Where'll the shocks be? (Yup, I'm all about shocks and struts )

 

[ed1380]

im most likely going to get this. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/rvs/723505504.html

looks perfect except 200 seems small. is it too small or should i go for this (no reverse) http://atlanta.craigslist.org/mcy/716093509.html

 

[oscaryu1]

The bike is more of a street one... so I'd go with the ATV. If it is seized, just swap it out or free it up. A bit of MMO and PB Blaster should fix it up good.

 

[ed1380]

i dont care about it being a steet bike. i need an engine and tranny. more cc = more power right

mmo= massive multiplayer online

 

[ed1380]

heres the shocks for you
