Hello
I am new here and was looking for some new ideas. I build cars called www.ExtremeBajaKarts.com and I have been using the dual chain setup for about three years.I like this site there seems to be lots of good ideas.

Thanks Bob

Nice Goot.

What the most power you can run through that drivetrain reliably?

Do you get any "torque" effect affecting handling while under power? Or off power? (i.e. does it jack under power?)

How much travel do you get with that length arms (what is the length of the trailing arms anyways?)

How do you get the power to the chains at the front of the arms?

I am wanting to try something similar. But mount CV's right on the top of the arm at the front.  Bill

Bob welcome to the forum 

I like how you adapted the sway bar into that design. Looks like a fun little machine. IMO its a lower performance machine than I play with but I certianly can see the market for them and could see myself getting a few of those for my twins when there a bit older.

Very nice fab work and attention to detail.

Great to have you here. Please do not take my comments in a negative way

Hello Bob and welcome to the site!

That thing is sweet.  How much wheel travel are you getting?

Thanks, I like the site. We only use up to the 620cc 20HP motors for that setup and we have a differant setup for the MX,Quad and Street bike motors. We get 18" of travel in the rear of these cars.
