Steve, I appreciate the time you put into these videos. I find each well-labeled numbered video an efficient way to learn about a certain segment of the build. I take in the information best in these shorter and compressed videos. But there's more to be said about what you are communicating here. Your presentation exemplifies the spirit of this endeavor: Prepare, ask questions, consider alternatives, then just do it. We all will end up getting some things wrong as we go along and you have shown us that it's ok to back up, grind it down, do it again. And, larger picture, that we may want to go back later and make major changes to a car we built and drove. I encourage you to stay on this track. You are producing really good stuff and it is adding significantly to the fun I am having building a cyclekart.
Said it before and will say it again, video when you weld and edit it in. Guys like to see sparks fly. Same is true for grinding, let’s see those sparks. You give lots of information on this hobby that also fits in with go carts and you do it with simple tools that most people have or can afford. Just by showing some sparks you’ll add a little more showmanship in your videos and then more people can get the wonderful information you’re passing on. Keep up the great work and have fun.
awesome content and previous comments and adding to them the car is as cool as you can get [my tastes may vary to others] i live in western australia and have told heaps of people about cycle karts and trying to build one [ the postie bike prices are through the roof ] also having a go at a 1900 to 1930's board track racer [motorbike motorised pushbike 200cc limit direct drive no gears] edg classics board track racers has some cool ones on youtube and a one way jackshaft system ??? so keep up the hard work and have fun . cheers
I use a 35 chain, the sprockets I like are a 60T on the axle and a 10T on the TAV, some TAV's come with a 12T when you order it for a 35 chain, I changed mine. My dads Duesenberg has a 35 chain with a 72T on the axle and a 12T on the TAV. It works out to the same ratio 6:1

Wow, thank you so much for your thoughtful comments. My cut off wheel and grinder are well used, lol.

Great to hear! How is your build going?
Love the taillight idea

Thanks for watching and good luck with your build
Hi Steve, can you tell me the size of the engine sprockets and rear axle? What kind of chain did you use?
I use a 35 chain, the sprockets I like are a 60T on the axle and a 10T on the TAV, some TAV's come with a 12T when you order it for a 35 chain, I changed mine. My dads Duesenberg has a 35 chain with a 72T on the axle and a 12T on the TAV. It works out to the same ratio 6:1
