It needs to be printed from flexible PLA with high percentage infill (I used 100% although better results at the expense of crushability can be acheived at 75%).

I have attached the STL file for the Knock Off centre cap that printed for the rear wheels on my MG.
Just use your slicing sofware to scale them to the size you would like.

I have the STL file for the knock offs I drew up and printed a while back if anyone's interested. Not as cool as the ones Mick showed.

I was concerned about the Kart rolling when on a slope or when getting in and out so I installed a handbrake. this would also stop the kart from moving forward if the engine revs were high. Worth a thought?Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream.

Thanks Mick, I'm on the mend.
I've got quite a few build photos that I will continue to add to my Build Page on my MG TAPost is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream. -

For me, the challenge of drawing a part and then fabricating it gives the most satisfaction, even if the final result takes several attempts.
I've used just about every tool in my shed.

I think that's half of the fun. The process of building it. Just like the tube roller nightmonkeyii built to roll his chassis tubes. Rolling them More ... -
So am i. Looks like your kart is coming along quite nicely. Hopefully by mid year we can look at looking for some race locations in earnest

Cyclekarts are a fantastic concept and an awesome challenge to design and build, and although my Cyclekart is not complete (needing paint and trim), It is a fully functioning race kart.
It is not my intension to spook anyone, however during testing at the track in my back yard, I managed to exceed both the limit of the kart and my driving ability and I rolled it.
Needless to say, this didn't end well, and involved a trip to the hospital to sort out broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder.
Since then all of the repair work to the kart has been carried out and I'm back in the saddle as keen as ever
.
I guess my message is to please remember to wear a helmet and give these amazing race karts to respect they deserve.
