New project

[Dan]

Hi Guys.My First post.I have this go cart/bar stool racer I built about 10 yrs ago and I want to try and scratch build it.I just started scratch building about 3 weeks ago and have 3 cars done so far.So i,m thinking about building 2 versions and making them wheel standers.I,m thinking of mounting the motor some- what vertical to simulate an engine cylinder and make the front lift easier.I want to do one with 2 motors to simulate a V twin. I did a quick drawing to help explain what I'm trying to do.I realize I need to get two matching motors.So here is what I,m hoping someone can help with,for the twin version I am hoping there are 2 different motor brackets that one will fit inside the other.This would be easier than trying to fit 2 of the same size brackets together. I have searched for dimensions with no luck.looking at Slotcar corners site they show 6 different brackets under 1/24 parts by type.I am wondering if JK F1/Indy Motor Bracket would fit inside the JK D3 Motor Bracket. Thankx-Dan

Go cart has 13hp Honda clone with a CVT drive,Disk brake from old Suzuki street bike.Wheelie bars added after first ride.

I use the JK F1 motor bracket a lot for 1/24 and 1/32 scratch builds. It measures 3/4" wide.




Never used the JK D3 bracket but likely wider.

Have you checked out PCH Parts Express at www.e-slotcar.com for their parts? Great selection for the scratch builder. A recommendation of chrisguyw, builder of some exquisite chassis and slot cars.

The JK D3 is 1 inch wide,so the JK F1 should work with it. Thankx -Dan

Slot Car Corner has a nice selection of scratch building parts in their 1/24th section, including the motor bracket.

Wow! With that rear weight bias and power level, they must wheelie all day long.

Look pretty fun to run.

Nice tinkering.

I bet those are hard on the stomach when you drive them with all the laughing that must be going on. Great job.

Very cool project and results. You have excellent scratch building skills.

However, as someone with a lot of experience doing head injury research I seriously suggest you NEVER ride the full sized bar stool cart without a certified helmet and/or roll cage. Even good helmets can't prevent concussions, but they can typically prevent cracked skulls. When head makes contact with pavement, head loses every time. Be careful.

Cool. curious where'd you get the drivers?

[Dan]

I live in BC Canada and got them at DOLLARAMA-not sure if their in the States -A star wars figure named POE for 5 bucks.he,s a pilot.I think his helmet and suit make him pass for a driver.
