"Pre job planning"



Jesus tiddy Flippin christ. This is 98% of all the hairy situations I've professionally found myself in.



You just gave me the heeby jeebies eith this video

 

That's a real shame........ ........ ..... does that mean you've got some grapes?

 

You lurking ass MF



I've been thinking about cha! Have you settled on a vessel after your previous insurance encounter... from hail? Or was it hurricane? Sorry I don't remember:/

 

You poor poor bastard




I legitimately hope you're squirrelling away at least a portion of your wages. When I was your age I was making more an hour than I ever had (comparing it to the next 10yrs of work history after that) and I didn't save shit.

One of my memorable regrets in life

 

I would really hope he's doing more than just squirreling it away, it needs to be invested otherwise it's just money that's losing value daily.

 

@Speedytech7 I want that Briggs motor you told me I can have

@Abeyancer so I'm about to order a Teantech clutch, and considering I'm a small guy (165lbs), I figured I could get away with a 10T for MOAR SPEED.

Live axle recommendations?

Or you think I should go 12T? Or a different brand?

Figured I'd order parts and steel will come when I get to it.

 

It's all yours but I think it would cost an arm and a leg to ship it. If you have any reason to come up here and visit though you're welcome to it

 

Listen, some of us tradesmen aren't that smart. Just being able to stuff it into your mattress for a legit emergency is a major success

 

Coming and seeing me would be a good enough reason for him

 

Pretty sure most investments are losing value daily right now too, to be fair

 

It's not healthy to examine those daily haha

 

True, I try not to think about it heh

 

You do remember I was a lawnmower racing league guy, right?


12 tooth is a good, common enough size to run for a front sprocket. Honesty 10, 11 or 12 is most conmon. I can't recommend a rear axle sprocket size without knowing what size tries you wanna run... 6" or 8"? Or go bonkers and and lift that shit with a 10.5? To be most honest, I'm redneck AF when building toys. I'd get whatever size sprocket I could up front, and whatever tires I could salvage from work, or other people I knew from the circuit (since CL was only an email server and not a household name yet)

Then I'd go to a motorcycle junkyard and buy a rear sprocket that matched a calculated number. Thankfully in today's day and age there are websites like this https://www.gokartguide.com/gear-ratio-chart-speed-calculator/#1


I don’t recognize the brand teantech and Honesty dont know who makes prefab live axles.. Iwould make my own live axles with rhese sprockets and depending on material and my own skill at the time, i would use either weld or collar shafts and keyways to secure it the the axle. The sprocket ratio could be compensated with a jackshaft depending on if the chain size matched or if the available junkyard find was too many teeth short

 

I on the other hand have no go kart experience besides having had one as a child

 

I don't understand me.... get me on an air cooled, rickety ass construction, backyard bayous, what in tarnation, kinda contraption with wheels and I'll go ballz to th' wallz, no care for safety, bounce it off the Rev, kinda silly.


But put me behind a legit motor vehicle with actual power on a road, and I can barely do the posted speed limit.

 

It's because of this I know a stupid amount of go kart information.

I still miss my motorized bar stool lol

 

Don’t forget i have union 401k and pension. So i have alot of different things saving money other then what i save

 

Like doge coin?

 

Better. Union money
