Rat Rod Wagon Finally gets a Seat & Steering Wheel

Рет қаралды 318,707

Күн бұрын

This week, we finally install a proper steering wheel and proper seat on the Briggs 5 horse equipped rat rod wagon. The steering wheel makes the drivability much better, but the seat raises the seating position, making turns on pavement even more difficult. Thanks for Watching!

Adding a Lead block to the front would help with the steering A LOT. trust me i used to do that with tractors when i haev a load on the back i just bolted a block of Lead on the front and.. Man that stuff helps.

Great job with the wheel and seat guys. Y'all could use like an old steel 5 or 10 lb weight on the front and cut it to look like a model-a grill! Would solve 2 problems at once.

@Wackyscfm 8 жыл бұрын

Put a "mini keg" fuel tank on the front and a small vacuum fuel pump. This might add enough weight out front to help with the steering. It'd look pretty sweet as well.

Solid steel front bumper would help with putting weight up front, and protect the wheels, steering arms, and engine in case of a crash (or for an offroad adventure... Ike)

+Isaac it'll be fine y'all wouldn't have to add weight if you would lay the front axle back about 10-12 degrees and add caster to it. that's why race karts work so well. when you turn it picks up the inside tire and let's it spin.

Basically each of you mod one side of the cart HOWEVER you want to while the other person does the otherside, then at the end let us vote on the better side and winner and the loser has to change there side to match the winners side!!! Lol kinda hard to explain what im trying to say but that should do :)

Only drive one rear wheel (peg leg) to eliminate the understeer. Cut the axle, or install a differential. Looks like the steering column could be shortened a few inches too. Neat project regardless.

@TwilightTheShooter 8 жыл бұрын

I've owned a one wheel drive go kart and it is not worth it. Every time you turn with the drive wheel on the inside it spins and you get massive bump steer under acceleration and breaking, and honestly one wheel drive wouldn't help the understeer, I would just stick to adding some weight to the front

@Owiko7 8 жыл бұрын

I have a one wheel drive go cart, I have to disagree, it corners 50% better than it did when it was configured as a 2 wheel drive cart, but I guess it all depends on how the cart is built.

@TwilightTheShooter 8 жыл бұрын

+Owiko7 yeah, fair enough, my kart was a death trap tho, it was nearly impossible to ride because of the bump steer and it tried to kill you every time you hit the breaks, fastest thing I've ever ridden tho, not to mention scariest

+TwilightTheShooter Well I have had both one wheel and a solid axle drive. it's all about tire set up and how you drive it. I had knobies on my one wheel but you couldn't get it sideways, on the solid I had slicks and in order to steer you had to get it sideways

all they need is some caster. lots of it actually... the top of the steering axis should angle towards the rear at least 15* for this application also having a bit more scrub radius can help.. u basically want the inside front wheel to physically lift the inside rear as u turn...a racing mower with a fat guy driving would suffer from the same goofy weight dist. issues but proper steering geometry fixes this without adding weight..

Weld a lovely leaf spring as a bumper at the front, otherwise it looks incomplete... Also it will make a space for lovely front lights :) And also, do you think it still needs a cover at the front for cooling? Since the engine is located at the front and catches a lot of air, could just take it off and make a bracket for a pull start.. Would look better with a spinning flywheel!

ackerman steering in the front. the way that front axle is set-up you need to have the tie rod longer than the distance between your kingpins. if you run a straight edge from the centre of your back axle to the centre of your kingpin your tie rod should be located on the same line. this will allow the wheels to toe out when you turn into the corner allowing the inside wheel to turn sharper than the outside wheel. I have a video that shows my set-up it might help your situation.
