The Vulture Cyclekart - Shaft Drive Version 3!

[@davidwilfong5820]

fastest ladder in the valley

[@andrewroudny]

And it's not even close.

[@jerryrivera7704]

Death trap😂😂

[@andrewroudny]

Hard to argue.

[@J-Steele-RC]

Hey Andrew. Big fan of the cycle cart. I'm doing a similar build, but with a front engine / longitudinal shaft / differential drivetrain setup. I've tried for the life of me to find the drive shaft with slip yoke and unoints from princess auto, and our American stores. Is there any way you can send me a link to that specific driveshaft please? I'll even pay you to just send me one from your local princess auto up there in Canada! Please let me know

[@andrewroudny]

I was hoping you guys had it at Harbour Freight! I think I may have to try Vevor. They have all kinds of cool things like this...

[@butchs.4239]

@@andrewroudny Surplus Center in Lincoln, Nebraska would be my suggestion as a source for power transmission components. Lots of interesting bits available there that would be useful on a cyclecart build.

[@HootisGarage]

Seems a bit Rube Goldberg. Especially for a go-kart.

[@andrewroudny]

True, except it's much more than a go kart. It's a Cyclekart! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKfQfnWve9uZpZIsi=lWQTaHPBcAbpjb3j

[@HootisGarage]

@@andrewroudny what’s the difference? No offense. Looks like a go-kart.

[@andrewroudny]

@paulhootisn848 none taken. The difference: in standard motorsport, the vehicle is a means to an end (ie racing, winning prizes, etc.). In Cyclekart, the vehicle itself is the reward, and the events are the means to enjoying it with like minded people. The culture is different, and the build process is different too.

ladder for a frame, genius! I plan to build one of these eventually, so thanks for the idea

[@andrewroudny]

No problem. Go to the largest electrical contractor in your town and see what he has laying around. They have to use fibreglass ladders and they go thru them pretty quick. Should be one or two waiting to go for a dump run. You can use Bondo with hair to glue them together (that's what I used).

[@rexjolles]

good idea thanks. eventually i'd like to do the racing, but the racing cyclekarts have certain standards for construction, and engines and wheels, etc@@andrewroudny

[@andrewroudny]

@rexjolles as far as I know, there isn't really a class of "racing" CKs. You just take yours to a race, and race it. That's that. Doesn't have to be good or fast.

[@the_icon_of_sin_94]

actual ladder frame chassis

[@andrewroudny]

Literally..

[@dogdue4588]

When the dudes talkin', I was thinkin' Hannibal Lechter would walk up...😢

[@redmr2na]

Aren't you ever going to finish restoring the 1929 MG??!!

[@andrewroudny]

If I was going to finish, I'd have to have started!

[@siharkarwan]

Ibeams 😂😂😂, built stronger then any car I know.

[@andrewroudny]

The ladder frame is one of the few things that has never had a failure. Hahaha

[@builtbycarma]

Pretty badass
