had been on the look out for a lightning mcqueen for ages,one come up on ebay and fate has it,he was mine. It was in pretty good nic,hadnt been used much.18v straight up and my young bloke was happy,but I wasnt lol as this is lightning mcqueen so this car needs to be modified.
go kart wheels and a kickass controller was on the cards
shaved down a spacer to 17mm to fit in the bearing case.
will be placing the batteries 2 x 12v 15ah or 12v 22ah plenty of room there, the low centre of gravity and balances ride. probably will end up putting another battery under the hood for a 36v upgrade.
bit of a mission to find secondhand 25mm rear hubs so end up buying new ones.25mm pillow block bearings and 25mm sprocket carrier. another mission was looking for a 25mm axle, Opting to 25mm aluminium tube .
