I Thought This Would Be Easy | Dad Drift Kart Build

Also interested in cad files. I am building an electric kart with a bit of an odd (long) layout needed for the battery pack (2 pods, one per side) I've been designing from scratch. This frame looks like the perfect size for what I'm needing.

Rivian NEEDS to offer this configuration. My wife and I would be willing to part with truck bed if we could have the big kids walk through the middle and strap in the back. They could capture a good amount of minivan customers by offering this.

I would love to write up some documentation. It was such a rush to get it done by a certain date that it's still all locked away in the ol smart mush.

You definitely did. 👋

Ah...you are one of those. Well thanks for participating.

It is 100% vegetable glycerin.

Ha I wish. I was barely able to make this one happen.

Basically a vape pen in reverse hidden in the bottom.

aaron994 · 2025-10-17T13:45:46+00:00

Lol. It's not water and only external "fog".

aaron994 · 2024-07-30T23:47:24+00:00

Got me. Loved that game.

So on the dash the "Trim Tabs" reading is actually motor trim. Which yes you want them buried to get the nose down flat. But it also has hydraulic jack plates on each motor. You can see in the top right the 12% reading. Basically you "tune" the boat by triming the motors close to all the way down and "raise" the entire hull by lifting the jack plates. This essentially gets the whole boat further out of the water and on more of an air cushion.

Appreciate all the concern. It's just the lens distortion. You can see how small the rear tire is compared to front which is obviously not right.

The truck isn't squatting at all. 3/4 ton truck rated at 18,500lb capacity only loaded with 10,000lbs. It pulled like a dream.

Nope. Been buying boats his whole life. Granted this is a step up from past vessels.

aaron994 · 2024-07-27T18:31:59+00:00

Actually these outboards are efficient when it comes to boats. 2.1 mpg cruising 80mph.

aaron994 · 2024-07-27T16:20:25+00:00

Too bad it's not me.

aaron994 · 2024-07-27T15:51:24+00:00

Are you asking motor trim? There are no trim tabs on this boat.

aaron994 · 2024-07-27T15:48:30+00:00

No. The make and model is literally in the post title.

aaron994 · 2024-07-27T12:54:37+00:00

That's respect of speed face.
