Kris´s new winterproject !

[KristianAE86]

This is a BUGGY.

Chinamade

featurning an aircooled 150cc 4-stroke single cylinder enging with variomatic drive with reverse gear.
Topspeed of approx: 70-80 km/h

weight - 240 kgs
lenght - 220cm
width - 130
wheelbase - 160cm

Simply said:

Imagine this with an Honda CBR600 / 900 engine with 100 / 140 bhp @ 13000 rpm. Watercooled & 6-speed manual clutch (steering mounted)

This is my winter project -
the entire engine sits on the swingarm & therefor the swingarm will be lengthened to suit the motorcycle engine.

It is beeing build by me for a Swedish company that sells minicrosses & minimoto´s.

The finnished work ( the THING as it´s namned by me)
Will be on display at ELMIA. Next easter in Sweden.

Performance - will be in the region of:

0-100 in approx 4-5 seconds
topspeed in the low to mid 200´s - depending on gearing !


Kris..... Even MORE Crazy than B4

You got way to many hobbies mate,

man that look like some good fun! especially in the snow

[Knudsen]

I seriosly doubt that anyone will survive driving "topspeed in the low to mid 200´s" in that thing Fun project though

I will have LEXAN windshield & carbonfibre handmade bodyparts (for The THING) not for me

Brakes will be stock.
2 piston discs front & a singel drumbrake rear
hardest part will be figuring out the shifting levers for the steeringwheels located shifter -
probably will make like on supercars - twin paddles

Mux -
iceracing studded tires. = very FUN

[Knudsen]

I dont think that Thing handles very well at those speeds... No matter how many lexan and carbon parts you put into it... It looks a bit "topheavy" and wobbly to mee. I would prefer to drive it in snow and mud, not on road@topspeed

Me to man - lower gearing - perhaps 140-150 km/h - 13" rallytires... (TOYO´s) Only problem is that you will need to shift gears all the time...
= FUN


I promise all AEU86 guys that they are allowed to try it when it´s done totally - at some future meeting

[Widar]

That's insane! Me like!

I'll hold you to that!

you are a crazy son of a bitch kris - you need to be locked up for your own safety :o

you ever see that gixxer kart video - that was a sports bike engine on a go kart - it was a handful enough on tarmac and you are going off road !!!

Kris, why not throw in a large single cylinder four stroke engine? The latest breed of them (around 650cc) produce around 80hp tuned, but more importantly..massive amounts of torque (as much or more then a 4cyl racing engine). I think it would still be mad fast, lighter and due to the wider power band, much more fun to drive (less shifting).
BTW: I would keep the shifter manually operated by some kind of lever. electronic shifting is very prone to failures and difficult+expensive to repair.

Our little formula student car was similar i think. 75bhp@130kg, but had vastly better suspension and monocoque. That thing was just plain mad. The drivers decided to leave the car in 4th gear for the whole race. It would still smoke the tires at any rpm, and these were custum slicks made from a ultra soft and sticky compound.
