I tend to always have a small project on the go, along the lines of these drift trikes etc... I'm not trade qualified, just a self taught butcher, so prepare yourself by lowering any expectations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, making up for a (perceived) deprived childhood :-). My go-to engine of choice these days are the 49cc mini quad engines. They have enough power for drift trikes and kids gokarts. Next step up are the 6.5hp Honda or clone engines...then after that you're looking at a motorbike engine. The 49cc motors are $100 new on trademe, plus you'll want an exhaust for another $30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimjon Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hubs...this was painful! I cut the spline centre out of the original hubs, then grafted it into some other hubs that didn't fit. Then machined them so they do fit. Yes, that's right...painful! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Seat moved back a few inches And that's it for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Kind of forgot about this project. Started on making a motor. Using a Honda clone, I'll do the usual modifications to make it faster...plus add my own flavour to it as well. Engine mounts, clutch, chain and sprockets...plus the exhaust up next. But all in good time...  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimjon Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Started tearing down the motor. I'm waiting on eBay parts...probably won't see them until after Christmas? But may as well get started now anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
