GNASHER - my next cyclekart
By: Ian F Date: February 8, 2024, 10:11 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I thought it was about time I wrote something about my new
cyclekart. I started building this just before Christmas, and
now after just over a month he is nearing completion.
I built "Jane", my first cyclekart in 2022. This was built in 3
months, but there were delays waiting for parts from China and
the USA. So the first lesson I learnt was to get your parts
before you start building! Consequently, I had been collecting
parts for over 6 months.
Another lesson from the first cyclekart was to source a lot of
the parts from a used go-kart. I managed to locate an old
pro-drive kart minus its engines at a very good price. The
owner was a bit perturbed when I asked if he had a power socket
I could plug my extension lead into, and then proceeded to cut
the kart in half with my angle grinder so it could be loaded
into my small hatchback ;D
Anyhow, I will start off the story with the reasonings behind
GNasher and the inspiration car (see attachment).

Thats excellent, well engineered too.
How do I start with the front axel and springs its a bit of a
head scratcher.
Hoping to build sorting like this
