Looks like something out of a MadMax movie. I love it. Just curious though, why slicks in the back and knobies in the front?

Engine RPM way more than first thought good for , So dropped tyre size by 3" , Will get some 13" treaded tyre's , Have only run it on bitumen cant wait to get it on dirt , Maybe it won't break ****
What is the measures of the beast?

Lot's and lot's
Most of the car got changed more than once during the build.
Still not happy with steering servo , Has to much movement in gear box
Brakes work much better with big servo and 19mm master cylinder
Runs 19mm drive shaft with uni's from engine to gear box & diff they are one unit
Want to move clutch back and fit crank mounted starter/generator to engine , mainly for its charging ability
Gear box and diff is made up from pocket bike reduction box modified so input & output are same plane
Crown wheel & pinion are 9" grinder , the center had spring loaded clutch's & one way bearing's on inderpendant shafts
Since blown diff center apart 4 times now . I have locked it for now will redesign locker for better turning
Rear drive shaft's are double ended c/v joint with a spline slip joint between them for 10mm shaft ,
they come from HONDA self propelled push mower
Had to remake rear stub axle's from 4140 as i sheered one off at around run 5

been hunting for something like these, do you have a link where you got them or did they come from a donor mower

cheers bud...i found em for 40each at quickieparts.com
looking at the pipe also gave me a another great source...need to fab a couple to fit within a given space, was looking at boat pipes to alter then rolled cones to start from scratch but now see i can get pocket bike ones for 100bucks for 2 shipped
i'm glad you shared your rig with us...not only is it cool it has helped me source 2 items i was struggling to find that'd work for my current project

Awesome, I love the body/frame of that thing. It looks like it eats small animals.
