    I don't think we have enough brain power to make a fully functioning suspension set up haha.

    Rear tires were bald so we got these smaller tires from Walmart. Went from a ~16" tire to a 13" haha. Smaller tire means more acceleration. Just got two tires. Gonna put the bigger tires in the back and the small guys up front until we feel like buying two more. And with smaller tires it'll be like a 2" drop haha

    1 second spray of Ether makes 'em
    inflate fast on the rim and seal the bead
    when sparked off by a wand lighter.

    Dude!!! That's crazy that you say that cause we tried that because we didnt have ratchet straps and had no luck. Tried starter fluid first, then brake cleaner. Sprayed around the bead and made a trail and lit it up. /:

    It ended up with a firey inferno burning the nipples off the rubber and kicking the tire in the grass :jester:

    Got the tires mounted. Swapped the good ones to the back and the newer smaller ones up front. Went to discount 30 minutes after they closed and slipped the guy 20 bucks and he swapped em out :peace:

    I wanna ride it!!!!


    IMO you should put the engine up front so theres more weight up front so it will drift easier. Then you could find an old 4wheeler solid axle, I forget which ones were shaft driven....should be about wide enough for it......

    or just put the engine in the middle of the rear and keep it chain driven. lol

    yeah lemme just mount the seat on top of the motor. :think: we're gonna try to find some kind of suspension/axle set up. soooo many ideas for this little cart... we need some kind of engineer to help with the ideas but seeing as jarrett has the dumbest ideas :jester:
