chain dif
im building a single seater with bie engine and wanted to use chain drive
and wanted to know could you get away with using a solid shaft like on gokart
or will it cause to much scrubbing of tyres or winding up of the axle shaft,
the car is not going to be used on road only track toy tarmac use
so whats your opinion on this
thanks

Will understeer horribly unless you light up the tyres... then oversteer/drift. Not really any good on track.

contact Martin Keenan at MKEngineering he has been doing this type of thing for years having recently designed built a single seater and a Midi 7
both with bike engines in the rear
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

start watching ebay/pistonheads etc for a quaife chain drive diff...
Or try MK as they convert a Fiesta one.
A used quaife can be yours for £350

Gokart stearing geometry and weight distro is designed so that under cornering the inside wheel lifts of the ground, unless your planning to do this
for a seven, which i suggest your not, a live rear axle is not going to be clever.
