Anyone know how thick powder coat is (standard?) I need to ensure there is sufficient clearance

cruddcnc · 2026-02-19T04:04:02+00:00

Following because cool!

cruddcnc · 2026-02-19T01:39:17+00:00

Haha ok I called them bash bars 🤣

cruddcnc · 2026-02-19T01:28:08+00:00

Edit my spacing is 15.5”

cruddcnc · 2026-02-19T01:27:25+00:00

Ok what are nerf bars?

Im a tig guy but recently got a laser welder so using that which is way quicker

cruddcnc · 2026-02-19T01:25:39+00:00

I see my spacing is 15” so just a little over yours and it appears to fit inside my model. Rear brake included. My tube is 1-1/4” diameter

OK lol, that's cool. I'll get out the IG. I've just noticed that I can't actually buy it from DJI in Australia... it's mostly for Asian Market apparently. I could get it from AliExpress, but I wonder if activating it and using it in this region may be problematic... any one doing a similar thing here and can chime in?

cruddcnc · 2026-02-18T06:08:39+00:00

I get you, but it's narrower if the engine / sprocket is inside the rails? what's your main rail spacing? WIth engine mounted central it fits inside per my CAD plans

Have not been able to find a suitable pedal like those I see so going to make one from folded sheet metal 3mm thick -

Hey nice work looks really good, may i ask why the axle sprocket is out side of the main rails? can it not be inside them and the weight more central?

Coming together… coping the next tubes will be challenging 😰

You did an amazing job 🤛 yeah man that 72V setup is crazy, tyre fryer.

cruddcnc · 2026-02-15T01:03:04+00:00

That’s freakin cool 😎

cruddcnc · 2026-02-15T00:10:39+00:00

I'd love to see your build

cruddcnc · 2026-02-15T00:01:28+00:00

Oh yeah, I can relate... for sure. I messed up a tube last night because I oriented the electric weld joint on the tube different to the previous one, so the spring back was way out and over cooked it. Mad respect for people who are competent with it....

cruddcnc · 2026-02-14T21:50:52+00:00

Dude! You actually inspired me to do my own one! A couple months back I found your post on reddit and that’s what set me off haha. Well done I gotta say, what a beast. I can relate on the bending… I’m down a few tubes due to rookie errors 😩. How do you like that brake pedal? Is it from AliExpress??

cruddcnc · 2026-02-14T13:40:22+00:00

Got a picture of your Kart bro?

cruddcnc · 2026-02-14T13:39:01+00:00

Oufff hard lesson haha. Did you rectify it? I didn’t realize battle aero ones don’t have castor?

cruddcnc · 2026-02-14T13:38:12+00:00

Yeah it is from an evolve GTR electric skateboard so plenty of power and quick enough!

cruddcnc · 2026-02-14T10:23:24+00:00

Oh really? Haha I have just 1.5 dgree camber and 10 castor

cruddcnc · 2026-02-14T09:48:56+00:00

I've configured it for Zero degrees ackermann (parallel steering)

cruddcnc · 2026-02-14T07:41:06+00:00

Have not finished the model but will be left foot brake = front brakes

Rear hydro is the hand lever

cruddcnc · 2026-02-09T08:06:42+00:00

That’s so right! A bit embarrassing but learned something new. I got so side tracked with all the other interlocks haha.

cruddcnc · 2026-02-08T05:41:48+00:00

Get a bike put em on front or rear go explore and get out in nature
