Kimjon Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Had a bit of a low after saying goodbye to the naomi trike. So time to get back on the horse (trike?)...so to say. Then that other axle and trike looked a bit lonely...so I united them in an unholy union too: The wheel are just temporary on the red seat trike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 have you ever made a drift kart? ie 4 wheels? it seems that there are a lot of drift trikes, but I havnt seen anyone do a 4 wheeled version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially it would just be a normal gokart with sleeves on the rear tyres. Getting enough articulation in the front wheels would be a bit of a challenge, not impossible. For example a normal car versus purpose built drift car, they differ greatly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 your frames you make for your trikes, tickle my ideas gland for making a 4 wheeled version... like you say, with better geometry for drifting than a race kart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need about this much articulation to really have fun. You can get by with less...but controllability will suffer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 If you ever want to chuck my v-twin on for shits and giggles im bloody keen. Probably wouldn't need sleeves on the tyres. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 Okay...going to all efforts to save spending actual, real, genuine...cash. Got these for free...but they are front hubs designed to spin on a bearing. I need rear hubs that can be made to bolt up to an axle. So I've machined them to work. Before: After: Was it worth the effort to save about $220??? Fuck yes!!! Was it fun, safe and trouble free...ummm...ahhh...hmmm. ..hell no. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
