Some pics of the cradle.
The shape of it looks a bit like atube frame chainsaw powered chopper
It will be nice that the engine is modular, separated from the frame, easier to make adjustments and take apart the car. It's funny how those chainsaw engines are designed, with the plastic molding being integral part of the engine.
Can't wait to see your suspension setup!! With a swingarm type suspension, with a chain, is it possible to have some twist ? Like compressing one wheel more then the other? I would guess the chaing can't handle too much twist, but after all most 2WD ATVs use this setup so it should work nicely.
Would there be a way to use angle grinders gears to transmit power with a driveshaft ? If the driveshaft in the center is aligned with the 2 swingarms it could follow the movement of the suspension. But I see lots of work to put one set of angled gears on each side of this driveshaft... Probably better to use a chain and design the swingarm so it does not allow too much twist.
