kevip6 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Maximum weight: 132 lbs." And there's me out!! They look so much fun I was just thinking about the logistics of making a stronger one! Probably a basic question but how do you get the power onto the drive wheel seen as it seems to be able to turn 360 degrees? I'm thinking a small motor would be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 The motre will be on the wheel hub, I guess. I prefer the second of the two. Less time watching ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the motor is attached via a chain to the driving wheel and is mounted on the steering arm with it. How would the power and accelerator pedal inputs get to the motor? If it's wired it would restrict the 360 degree steering ability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would the power and accelerator pedal inputs get to the motor? If it's wired it would restrict the 360 degree steering ability? It's either a single stop point (180 degrees each direction, 360 degrees total, but not past that), or twin power contact plates, much like those for a car horn inside the steering wheel.

Norman Verona Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 If the electrical contacts (24v) are on two contacts points the single wheel hub could spin round and round. A chain from the sterring gar to the hub would make it continuous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Works just like a Dodgem car at the Fairground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevip6 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Works just like a Dodgem car at the Fairground. I thought it was like a dodgem which is what made me think of the continuous twist as I don't think a dodgem steering ever stops? How easy is it to implement a continuous contact?
