work in progress , my manco quicksilver 2

[Half-breeder]

Im alil curious as to why the wheel are turning at 'idle' on both of the karts... (especially the one w/ the ducar)?


RPM's kinda high maybe?

 

[firemanjim]

Thanks Sam! That's what I was wanting to know..... !
I like the dingo.....
A solid chain is a chain with no master link. You can make it the old fashioned way with a hammer and punch. OR the easy way and buy/use a chain breaker tool to make one. Instead of master link, you connect the ends with a normal link. On a master link, you can pull one of the side plates off by hand. You can't do that with a normal link. When it's pressed into place, it stays put. You will literally have to break the chain, not just a weak ARSe master link.....

ill have to look into that , i WILL break this link again..

 

[therealsamfisher]

ok , so I got the solid chain worked out , and IT RIPPED!!! NONSTOP!!!

aaannnd I lost another breather..

 

[gman3850]

I just put a 420 chain on today instead of the 41 with master link. did a lot of burnout and donuts in the mud, street, and grass also ran over the curb and my chain is still holding up.

 

[therealsamfisher]

trying to find a trade for my dingo. I want a minibike with a ducar now

 

[therealsamfisher]

so how the engine is aligned now ( which is perfect , not the same as this photo where it was a little off ) the exhaust points at the frame , which makes it impossible to use the screw in silencer which I reallllly need to start using lol.

should I try heat and bend , or cut and weld?

 

[firemanjim]

No heat, just remove it. Find something with a hole big enough for the tube to slide into. Slide it in to the point where you want the bend(un bend) . Now gently pull on it, slowly bending it the direction you need/want. Move its position in the hole 1/4" at a time. Do little bends and you won't crease or mar the tube..... I do it all the time to correct bent angles when I'm building..... 1" tubing fits into the hole for a ball on your truck/suv bumper.....

gonna try this now , before it was re-ailigned , the silencer fit and my god was it quiet.. but did not feel restricted either even after womping on it for a bit.

I lost another breather though... it just wont stay no matter what. I will have to make some sort of bracket for it .

on another note , cleared out a car for more go kart funz lol

[therealsamfisher]

well... I tried bending that pipe... ended up sledging it flat since its godly materials wanted to test my resolve.

 

[therealsamfisher]

ok , so I tweaked the rear engine " frame " cage that bolts on to the back

now I dont have a bar in the way!

also , will be posting the video of why it was tweaked lol , got a lil out of control last night lol

that ones a part out lol , literally no usable body parts , the table didnt fare to well though :/

 

[therealsamfisher]

welll... I crashed again lol....

flipped her good this time.. kart was mid drift and again wanted to grab so it rolled right onto me.

I have neither been more injured nor more entertained at the same time in years! this is amazing!

 

[therealsamfisher]

got the dingo sorted out , had them both out and the quicksilver runs circles around the dingo lol

 

[therealsamfisher]

I think I want this ducar on my dingo now lol ...

I assume the switch shouldn't be too hard huh?

IMO you should... the dingo will handle the 'speed' better due to its lower CoG. But Id make it a wide 1 seater for a better CoG.... Like I did to mine.

Matter of removing the 4 bolts holding it to the plate, and the chain... "May" need another length if the sprockets are the same chain #'d.
