[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 17503, member: 126"] Re: Racing Go-Kart Project I think several of us would feel better if you go back and edit out the 2 second target, then edit it from your mind. Or consider building a rocket sled, or human rail gun... Getting from 0- anything that quickly is the hard part... Putting the required power to the ground to get moving that quickly in that short a time will be difficult. The primary attraction of go carts is that they are so close to ground they ''seem'' like they are going faster than they are, from the driver's perspective (of course some modern ones do get up there).. If you really want to accelerate you need to build a dragster or a drag bike, both of which take on a different general form factor (big ass back tires, and wheelie bars.) Try not to kill yourself or any spectators. Life is not like jackass where everybody lives. JR [/QUOTE]
