Great work, it loos as real as it could be. Not all Blitzen Benz had this crest on it, this was some kind of publicity stunt, I heard it was the personal crest of the Kaiser and I don't know if they asked him for permission.

Ben was lucky to have seen one in person in a German Museum if I recall correctly. If you look at period pictures, they are all a bit unique. Sometimes the appearance would change between races. Thanks for watching.

Steve, was watching the video on your trip to CA for spokes for the Yamaha(?) Hubs, what hubs, what year etc, very interested in the appearance of them for the cart I'm working up

@stevevinson6030 4 күн бұрын

I am using OEM Yamaha XT250 and XT200 (1980 and 1983) front hubs and 16" Honda reproduction steel rims, Some important notes on the Yamaha Hubs: the XT250 have 37MM bearings, the XT200 are 35MM. The hub adaptors from Renegade are designed for the 37MM Bearing. Keep that in mind when sourcing your hubs. I ended up with 2 of each so, it worked out. 19.05 x 35 x 11 bearing part #6202-2RS-12 19.05 x 37 x 11 bearing part # MR190537 LLB C-3

I havent seen one. they are pretty simple from what I have seen. the hub bolts to the adaptor with the sprocket mount holes already on the wheel, and the whole affair is held in with the 3/4" axle bolt. I think you will need 1 bearing for the outside.

Honestly, I like the idea. But here in the USA, we want to keep the field level by using the same type power plants. If you are not planning to participate in organized events, then it really doesn't matter.

@justinskywalker 3 ай бұрын

Seems to me that for the people that want to make changes they should build a car to "spec" first and then start looking at modifications at performance upgrades. Find out how good the car works before you decide to make it something else entirely. I imagine that just putting in a bigger, more powerful engine just creates a cascade effect of other things that need to be upgraded to compensate for the additional power from the bigger engine. Better suspension, bigger brakes, front brakes, better/bigger tires, beefier hubs and axles, frame reinforcement. All these things that put you right back to where you started in terms of the power:weight ratio, just in a much more expensive package. I too, am looking at building my first cycle kart and asked all these questions and after thinking about it came up with the same answers. The cars are meant to be cheap(ish), fun to drive, but also rewarding to build and something of an artistic endeavor.

@stevevinson6030 3 ай бұрын

My dad used to race go-karts back in the 80s- early 90s running 5hp Briggs and Stratton motors and all the ways small engine dudes find top get just even the smallest percentage of gains out of these small engines never ceases to amaze me. But a few fractions of a percent, aggregated over many iterations and modifications really starts to add up to big gains.

I know this video was made awhile ago, but do you remember what part you used for your steering wheel quick release.

So sad. When I first came across cycle carts I felt I could be competitive spending abour 2500 bucks. Affordable fun racing with others in exactly the same spec cars. Awesome. And instead it has devolved into a car that is over engineered and super esxpensive. I want to to see how much you have sopent on these cars. Expensive alloys, complex suspensions. Hand made custom bodies. FFS way to make a fun grassroots everyman's racing series into another rich guy hobby. FACK!

@stevevinson6030 4 ай бұрын

You can build anyway you want. I have not spent more than $2500 on my first cyclekart, inflation now makes those same parts closer to $3500. If you build it the way the Stevensons did back in 1995, you will spend about $2500, that is with a plywood body and crappy Azusa spindles and hubs, you will have to bend or weld your own front axle and source springs from a scrap yard. But it can be done for cheap, many have done it.

@RomanBuchok 4 ай бұрын

Yes, absolutely they can.
