Why have you got the brake/throttle one the same side and cut out? I'd of had the brake one side, accel. the other, and clutch in the middle like on gearbox karts as you only need the clutch to start/stop. could have had full size pedals then, wouldn't trust braking hard with that one :/

you also need the clutch for a lot more than stoping and starting in this, clutch control is needed when launching and pulling away so having it at the same foot as the throttle would be a ightmare.

By in the middle, I meant like some gearbox karts, where the pedal is by the nassau panel, and stretches both sides so you can use it with either foot. Should have explained that better too
I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!

Looks great now.
Bit of an awkward 1 with the brakes and throttle. You need the brake on the opposite side to the clutch for going down gears i know but it looks awkward.
