Thank you.

Thanks! They are fun little vehicles.

It is I'm liking it better and better.

It is pretty fun. I've got a lot more in mind for it.

Yes I’ve been having a lot of fun on this thing.

I was thinking the longer chain could be problematic. After having this one, I'm not so sure having the engine mounted on the rear swingarm is the best idea. You are right that having a rear diff would help with steering.

KZfaq is odd sometimes. Not sure why that happens. Thank you for watching them when you can.

That's cool, can't blame you there. 😎

I guess it could be a go kart. I always thought about go karts as not having a transmission. It still is working great right now, fun to drive around in.

@lukeFugate Hey I'd probably enjoy having one I'm sure.

yes lol.

lol yeah

True. It would be better to extend that up as well. They are hardly ever used, so I doubt I will. Good point, though.

The pedals were too close as well and I couldn’t see any easy way to move the footwell forward. Much easier to move the seat backwards.Steering wheel mod was very easy though.

Filling it with steel, maybe pieces of rebar would work. Thanks!

Thanks, and welcome back! I don't know why KZfaq does that.

I ended up using a small collar to weld onto the shifter.

They are backwards, but the weight distribution was the issue. A winch and battery were enough to get it balanced well.

I took the windshield out. It is one main source of the vibration. My intent is to get some o rings to put on the bolts to isolate the windshield from the frame. I haven't tried that yet as the windshield really doesn't do much so for now I'm just leaving it out. It still has vibration but not as bad.

The engine in this is a four wheeler engine so it is an integrated engine/transmission. To use a predator would require using a torque converter as well.

Yeah, it is solved now, the winch and battery were plenty of counterweight.

Yes, I didn't pay attention on assembly.

yes, the winch is plenty of weight, especially since I added a battery as well.

Yes, they can be kind of sketchy. Also you have to do a lot of maintenance on Chinese things.

I hear ya on that one, we're all continuously getting ripped off by them. It also certainly doesn't help that it's increasingly difficult to even find quality made things anymore, the sheer availability of such to at least have a choice in the matter. All price points aside, even in understanding there's a higher cost for better quality things- it still sucks not having the choice to choose between quality or cheap. But yeah, it's commonly known the Chinese weren't ever known for producing quality, to add it just seems like their level of quality control only gets worse and worse. To the point that I have on numerous instances simply opened the packaging for whatever I've bought, only to have the item basically fall apart in my hand, or won't even be close to being made right. Ebay and Amazon are both completely ate up with their crap. Notice how anything you may want to search for and buy will pull up the same listings spammed out everywhere across the page? Like, for everything all of the time. It's gotten so bad that even searching for a specific well-known brand named item can't be seen without first sifting and searching through layers of trash that somehow always gets shown first- contrary to what you specifically typed in. You see nothing but the same listings with only minor changes such as photo angles, or a few cents difference in the pricing between these spammed listings. The adds will all have the same stock photos (photos of which they more than likely stole) a plain white background, an entirely fake brand name that doesn't even make sense phonetically- and they'll even go as far as to deceive you further by pasting an American flag in the upper corner of the photo to have you thinking it's made in the USA. They're quite literally the single most deceptive, anti-quality, garbage producing nation on this planet- and I don't hate them, I just hate what they do. They however could care less. They just want our money, and it's proven more than obvious they don't care about much other than that. Customer satisfaction, pride in production, brand loyalty, none of that matters. When everything's been monopolized by their cheapness of things that we've only fed by continually buying what they've made, we lose our CHOICE to buy quality- and thusly the quality of things plummet all the further...

I've got a vice, just too lazy to go to the garage.
