Well...After a long break due to a kidney transplant, I am slowly back to work on my Electric off Road Buggy. I have acquired some steel framing studs and track to use for the frame construction. I chose this material due to its light weight, corrosion resistance and mainly for the fact that I can build it with battery tools at this point, as I have no electricity in the storage unit I am working in. I am using self tapping screws initially and later I'll probably replace the screws with aircraft rivets. It's amazing how with just a few screws connecting the two pieces of track together, the structure gets quite strong, compared to how flimsy it was without connectors.
I got the bike frames on a jig and cut them apart. The photos show the general layout of the front forks and the swing-arms. The golf cart axle will be located in front of the swing-arms and become a frame member. The drive sprockets will be mounted on the axle studs. Here are a few photos of progress. Hopefully I can make updates a Regular thing...!
