if you are mad enough and revs to 12.500 rpm with about 170, 180bhp with remap and end can, at flywheel ,
on the last outing was getting to 5th gear and 10,500 rpm down curbourgh sprint track and still another gear to go , but over the bumps it was just lifting enough to allow wheels to spin so when came back down the wheels still spinning ment you were driffting at about 130/140mph,realy great fun tryin to keep it in line.

i love the idea of these as the are very fast but they are also very dangerous, my opinion is (from a bloke into bikes and knows sod all about go carts) is that these need some suspension, there is no give over even little bumps and with this kind of bhp per ton its gonna make it one scary ride.
is there not a way of making a pivvoting chassis so the front and rear can flex a bit all be it not independatly left and right, just back and front slight movement from the center part of the chassis?
it will give it that slight movement these need to not be lethal imo.
even if its just some rubber that compresses a bit over bumps to allow movement.
if i wind my r1 suspension up rock hard it skips about and handles crap, if its got movement its perfect

when all mock ups finished chasis will be off to powder coaters and all body pannels etc will be off to paint
youll all love the paint choice aswell, just to note, I will not be driving it again this year as a few have asked![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
I had my fun last year, its not any faster this year just rebuilt on new improved chasis and better finishing done and me driving it this year would be asking for trouble
as it will be for sale after testing session end of the month
