    The Thunderbug really captures the spirit of the real thing which I have seen at many a Vintage Sports Car Club meeting. I think An English cycle car like the Carden or AV Monocar would make a great cyclecart.

    If you bent the tie rods that are in front of the axle outward an inch on each side, it would really improve your steering (by improving the Ackerman angle).

    Good idea, proper suspension geometry does make a difference. Although even a CycleKart that handles badly is still a ton of fun.

    @@stevevinson6030 They share much with my toy of choice, the T bucket. And some of the same steering problems occur, usually to builders who don't understand the principles of differential steering. (The two front wheels don't make the same circle in a turn. The inner wheel needs to make a smaller circle, and thus has to turn sharper than the outer wheel. Otherwise, you will get a "scrub" from both tires.)

    @@stevevinson6030 no it’s not used on racing karts in Australia they used direct drive clutches with chain drive to the rear axle . Which is what I will use. I even went to a ride on mower shop yesterday to see what they used . They use veritable Lilly system and a gear box on the rear axle . Thanks for your help .
