everyone seems to forget about the track joiners and how little clearance there is. I would also suggest way more clearance from the track next time. Will help getting over all the bushes that grow on the tracks.

sounds to me like engine revving too high for slow speed...clutch may need to be replaced or the flanges tight on rails causing friction . could use a little tweaking ..other wise great idea

I once built such a crude machine, but, my wheels with flanges that I made, were so small, my top speed was so slow, that I was able to walk faster than it could move. Tried it out in Keene, NH, on the former B&M RR's Ashuelot Branch. (It was back then, 1983, after trains stopped using the line and, before the rails were removed. It is now a rail-trail. ) My second version had an alignment issue. My "adjustment" mechanism was flawed from the start! The flanges either rubbed alongside one rail or the other.

A seventies Pontiac will do the same thing. Went many times from Grapeland Texas to Palestine Texas on a beer run in a Pontiac Catalina on live tracks with the air let out of the tires to grip the rail. It is much quieter and air conditioned, lol. It was twenty mile one way trip. We had a blast.

You're on the right track ,pun intended. I like you cart, lots of potential. Just an idea, run slicks on it for smoother ride. On your wheel flanges , taper them in for less friction . This will help on radiuses & turnouts too. Thanks for sharing your video.

I really like the go cart mod. Was wondering if it was set up with steering capabilities, the use of the inside edge rail guide wheels that can be lifted up out of their usage position. With the positionable guide wheels the cart could be driven off the tracks for misc. needs.
@magicone9327
3 жыл бұрын
I would think that instead of flanges, a separate set of guide wheels on their own frame spring loaded and set at about thirty degrees to run the inside edge of the rail and being set at an angle they would be out of the way when coming to road crossings.

now to make a really cool video would be to hoock a long rope on a passing train and let it tow a trail bike but five times the speed is it too much to handle , speed wobble, could it be designed for it , maybe rubber in rope for easy start , risk of stepping into rope loop , helmet , armour , ejection seat, parachute , airbags for falling to side, paddings or air filled , even a safety cage or shell, but detachable from bike. how about a giant ball rolling o the tracks , pulled by train. ball of branches or plastic or rods pipes. and guy inside on a chair on side bearings . . or like could use an old car pulled behind train w normal wheels on side of trracks or no rubber and iron wheels on track , but rubber coating inside them. or rope and parachute fly benind train. any of those ideas can be very dangerous but some might be rather safe maybe if well designed and done. some choose some danger risk for fun, its popular on youtube like skydiving . or wings from airplane attatched to old car pulled on wire behind train till it flies. in sstrong headwind like a kite. ...cv

There is a variable belt drive similar to a snomobile drive that must be stuck. A few taps with a hammer or some graphilte lubricant on the clutch should free it up. Those cheap gocarts do about 30mph.

OK, there is a centrifugal clutch in the primary side of the variable pair that allows you to stop completely( like the ones you see on the old school minibikes). Being a 2 seat go-cart is a big load for that little clutch. I'd say that little clutch is crapped out, and the variable drive is almost always a little sticky after they have been rode hard and put away wet. :>P
