Looks very cool. I know you changed to a different gearbox setup for ratios, but Incase you do another build for the kids in the future, here's a good gear ratio calculator to help out. http://app.kartcalc.net/#home

It only works on smart phones and tablets, but a computer version is in the works just on the back burner. It's a pretty conservative one in that it recommends a lower (numerically higher) gear ratio but it gives a pretty good idea what you want. I'm sharing it on behalf of the person who made it. Hope it could be of use to you or anyone that uses it.

I played around with the app. It looks like based on the information I put in, I should be somewhere between 8:1 & 10:1. I like how it calculates all the torque and final speeds. Pretty cool. Thanks

No problem, glad it's helpful.

Made some progress on the rear shock mounts today.

Nicely done,don't think it interrupts the lines at all. nice welds. You could always use the first set of upper mounts as pivot point tabs for a flip up cargo rack that allows access to the fuel tank.

Thanks Xbird.. That's a he'll of an idea for a flip up cargo rack, may just have to do that.

Great build. Fantastic metal working and welds. I'm jealous of your skills! Keep it coming!

Thanks Mcdog. Haven't been on here lately nor have I made any progress on the buggy. Swamped with work and now the kids spring sports pretty much chew up the weekends.

Family and work comes first, while hobbies take a backseat. Well hope you can find some spare time at some point. Would hate to see it get shelved for a long time.
