Brock-Lee Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Any idea what the frame is going to look like around this? Keen to hear it at full song tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 would most probably go real well in something like Kickers frame he built - long and roomy between the bottom bracket and top tube.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgySam Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 you'd want all that 27+ kgs down real low so it doesnt want to topple over everytime it comes to a bend/corner at either end of the velodrome. So im thinking something long/low and raked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EURON8 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Ned, is it possible to run linkages onto throttles as opposed to cable. All the cables detract from the look of this beast. Kinda like this in the middle and each arm goin out to opposing engine. then have like 5 on long rod and one cable from handle bars to shaft.

slacker.cam Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 You could do that but it would be max machining and time required to make it work. The flexible cables are cheap and don't require too much fucking around. Maybe for mk2? Anyway, looks fucking sweet. Needs speed holes though!

eke_zetec_RWD Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 can i suggest a stiffner plate welded between (top to bottom) the bars you have connecting the left to the right. if you manage to get some power out of it the way you have the chains will force one side up and the other side down when under load. fucking sick idea though!

BlownCorona Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 ^ extremely good point, its definitely going to try and straighten itself out. but i think plates on the end would be stronger, if its top and bottom, its a square that can fairly easily skew out too, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishtailfred Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 That engine needs a name... H10-500 or U10-500, to borrow from VW's nomenclature? It also needs an EMS... but that's got to be a mk2 thing. Very cool Ned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 That is a good point guys, and cheers Fred for the nice words Me and cam were assuming you would pick a trillion holes in it Name; open to suggestions. Will likely be named 'the widdow maker' when it blows up this weekend haha. No pics, as i'm lazy, but got the output shaft on and the front sprocket on too. Will have to get fuel and chain sorted tomorrow, and then i can fire it up! don't have throttle just yet but thats ok for now. Dave; you are my hero! I have done sweet fuck all to this thing myself to be honest. Just spun some spanners and drilled some holes while Dave did all the real work. Wish i had enough game to do all this shit myself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
