camerondownunder88 Posted July 16, 2006 Author Report Posted July 16, 2006 Hi, That was not an under statement on the speed. IT DOES 180Km/h at 1/3 throttle. The chassi of the kart is rated for 240Km/h as it is build around a super cart so I can go faster yet and be safe. It also has over sized racing slick tyres so it gets good grip and under the chassi is dead flat to get down force. here is a picture from the rear. Ill post a few up. Ill get some newer ones soon. This kart has been 100% designed and built at home apart from the turbine and compressor unit. From the custom oil pump to the 2500PSI fuel injection system. And if any one can tell me how to post a video clip I can show you it running :lolcry: Quote
camerondownunder88 Posted July 16, 2006 Author Report Posted July 16, 2006 Hi, Just out of interest I though I would let everyone know when I drained the oil out of my k50 box and weighed it it totaled 25Kg. So just if your interested this is how much they weigh. This weight also included the gear selector. Also I noticed the plug in the g/b sump has a magnet in it. Was this standard in the gear box? and can I get one for the motor? Or will it be easier to late one up? Cameron Quote
Dan Posted July 16, 2006 Report Posted July 16, 2006 Yeah, you can get them, they are all over eBay, look under 'performance' :jamie: < thats true btw. They only cost about 10 bucks or so... I have a k40 gearbox that I would guess would be between 15 and 20 kilos, so i guess that is a fair figure for the k50. f@$k, that kart is pretty awesome... what do you do with it, race it? Seems pretty mad.. Quote
camerondownunder88 Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Posted July 17, 2006 Hi, can't race it yet as I'm having trouble with oil pressure so it has a few minor probs there but soon to be raced again. But I can't race on normal go-kart tracks as it has a power to weight ratio that is to great and it is to loud :jamie: drag strip wont let me race as I have no roll cage or fire system fitted and they want me to comply to jet drag car rules if I want to race there so I have about 1 million mods to do if i wanna use the drage strip. So currently I am finidng it hard to race some where..lol Will get some video up soon been a bit busy lately. Cameron Quote
