Giant Go Kart RC Car
I am making an rc car using a lightened go kart chassis. I was looking for a servo that is about half as powerful as the i00600 that is cheaper. I am also trying to find a cvt tranny that works on a 70cc 2-stroke. The wheel circumference is going to be 59.66 in. If i was correct on my calculations i would want it to start out at around a 50:1 reduction and go up to 15:1. So if anyone has ideas i would appreciate feedback._________________ Using two 50cc two stroke pocket bike engines and the i00600 servo for steering. And smaller tires on the back.

Progress has been going slow because of school and sports but have got engines mounted and broken in. I will upload pictures soon. It will not let me now.

Haha probably not. Here are some pics of the steering servo mounted and running. Only thing left before full test run is the throttle and brake servo.
it's huge.. looking forward to seeing it run

Took for a test run today I will have a video of it once i get a chain tensioner on it. It isnt the fastest of the start but once it gets going it goes.

I am using the i00600 should have bought the i00800. The engines run well together, could not have better throttle response but do not quite have enough reduction i think. I am working on the suspension and maybe making it a little bit lighter. Hopefully...

That's cool. It's nice to see more homebuilt stuff in this forum again, for a while it was just chinese Baja knockoffs and Redcats [&:]

RE: Giant Go Kart RC Car
ya it was a bigger two seated go kart. it is still very heavy. I would like more power but i think the 50cc engines with cvt trannys that were about $95 each will do for now unless i find one i like for a good price.
