I wanted something easy to install and maintain. The differential offers a very nice driving experience, but this kart will not be driven hard enough to enjoy those performance improvements.
Also, the wheels I chose required the axle to go all the way through the wheel and hub, that required a wider axle than is available for the differential.
Really appreciate your demonstration of the English wheel, looks like a lot of fun
it really is a great tool. This Harbor Freight version works great for my needs
Great job on the hood and thank you for showing us how you did it.
Happy to help
Outstanding ,Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
Good instructive video.
Thanks Steve.
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks great. What gauge/thickness aluminum? Fun watching this come together.
I think the hood panels are .040 thick
What is the reason for choosing a live axle verses a Differential axle?
