Re: pic: Beginnings of a gokart
Heres one important thing about your setup: i think those front wheels you have are the same ones we use on our go-cart, and they have a nasty habit of having the wheel separating from the hub. The small welds that hold the hub to the spoke portion break quite easily, but the wheel will not completley fall off. What'll happen is you'll not notice and end up rounding out the hole in the spoke portion, effectively creating a very nice piece of junk.
What you need to do is just remove the tire from the wheels and put some larger weld tacks on the hub. If you're careful you won't have to take the bearings out of the wheel, because that is a real #@!*. Avoid doing it at all costs.
Great idea! Try making it autonomous! Thats our little project, though it has been pushed to the side lately....
