| i didn't see power steering in your plans. i know its expensive, but with the weight of the car it might be a nice luxery, or you could be the true buff guy on the block. i guess its not really needed.

| CONRAD! .....ooo look, something shiny!.... ...what was i doing, OH YEAH! CONRAD! went to Home Depot yesterday and they had this Suzuki QUV at the front door, i peaked around the internals and they are running a VERY close set up to my original idea for my 1/2 scale Tumbler. They took a go-cart engine, horizontal shaft and belt drove it into a transmission which also doubles as the differential! That unit was made by "Spicer" they are quite famous for making Universal joints, i run them in my 4x4. It had the options of F/N/R (forward, neutral, reverse) I'm not sure how much a transmission unit like that would go for, but it would probably be something worth looking into, since you could basically belt drive any engine you wanted into that transmission. Just thought i would share! ^_^ going back to my shiny thing

Drew....for this Go-Kart on steroids, I'm going to go with the basic go-kart style steering. I will have to see how it is once it's in place.
Shaggy...interesting...will do some homework on that and check it out, but now I'll be focusing on getting this thing rolling with the temporary 8HP B&S and the steering "a la Shagg" design....really want to see how this thing will feel moving.
...does it come in black?

Well he's obviously done! He's out driving around having fun while were sitting here like suckers  That's why he's not updating. Maybe when he runs out of gas he'll stop long enough to post 
"there ain't no bat!"
