Neurotikart II: Using a golf cart motor Posted by: wires99
Video duration: 265 seconds Many golf cart motors don't have a handy output shaft or faceplate. This is a description of the basics of what I had to do in order to use one. More detail will follow. Related: build, electric, gokart, neurotikart, vehicle |

Neurotikart II: rear axle preassembly Posted by: wires99
Video duration: 223 seconds The previous video showed a condensed version of welding the rear axle mounts. Here's the detail of how the assembly was set up to prepare for welding. No music, just a bit of narrative. Related: build, electric, gokart, neurotikart, vehicle |

Neurotikart II: sprocket drive shaft Posted by: wires99
Video duration: 287 seconds I forgot to post the details on how to make the drive sprocket, other than doing the splines. Well, here is most of the detail of the drive shaft. I'll post a still photo of the drawing on www.neurotikart.com Related: build, electric, gokart, neurotikart, vehicle |

Building Neurotikart II, part 1 Posted by: wires99
Video duration: 154 seconds After the success of the prototype Neurotikart, there's no way I can just let it be. So I'm building a new one, which should be a bit faster. I doubt I'll stop at this, but I hope to show that if I can do it, it can't really be that hard. Related: build, electric, gokart, neurotikart, vehicle |

Neurotikart II - Steering setup Posted by: wires99
Video duration: 249 seconds Finally, the front end. I left out the video on how to fixture for welding - kind of obvious and boring. After this, it's on to the steering wheel mount, and the rolling chassis is done. Related: electric, gokart, neurotikart |

Neurotikart II: rear axle mounts Posted by: wires99
Video duration: 143 seconds Here's a powerfully boring view of the installation of the rear axle bearing mounts. Oh, and that's not a soundtrack, it's my Ipod Nano connected to a couple of speakers - that's how I get music in the shop. The song is "The Green Minute" by Galactic.

More goofin' with Neurotikart Posted by: wires99
Video duration: 137 seconds At half my weight, I figured my neighbor Andrew could really toss the kart around. He doesn't even drive yet, however, so maybe that's not so wise. I am the one on "Shakey Cam" for his ride. Then I couldn't resist a spin on the kart myself. Related: go, kart, neurotikart |

Vintage Neurotikart footage, Winter '06 Posted by: wires99
Video duration: 177 seconds I originally didn't want to post this, but I may as well. The end of the video shows the reason for some new rules and safety enhancements for both the original and new Neurotikart Related: electric, go, gokart, kart, neurotikart, vehicle |

Fabricating a drive shaft for a golf cart type motor Posted by: wires99
Video duration: 158 seconds If you're really into this project, this was how I fabricated a shaft to mate the standard 19-spline female socket of a golf cart motor armature. Related: build, electric, gokart, neurotikart, vehicle |

Rear wheel to axle mounting detail Posted by: wires99
Video duration: 102 seconds This is a response to a few questions I got about how the wheels mount to the rear axle, stay put, and don't rotate independent of the axle. This shows how it bolts together - nothing fancy. Related: build, electric, gokart, neurotikart, vehicle |

Executive Neurotikart Posted by: wires99
Video duration: 42 seconds Not just for grease monkeys and thrill seekers! Related: executive, neurotikart |

Neurotikart II, lighter pilot, better motor Posted by: wires99
Video duration: 54 seconds Alan takes a spin on the kart. This guy is 100 lbs lighter than me, but still a little nervous about opening the throttle all the way. The kart is a lot quicker with him on it, anyway. I wish I'd gotten video of his (even lighter) sister driving it. She was running it up and down the street at top speed - a little scary. She didn't try to thrash it around the turns, though. Related: alan, electric, gokart, neurotikart |
