Hi all


Popshot was concerned my proposed quad might drive 2 extra chains when free wheeling !

I like how the jackshaft doubles as the pivots for the rear suspension.
Someone on the German forum built one like this , the consensus form the other forum members was it was a bad idea as the suspension forces would play havoc with the jackshaft ? maybe if the suspension bottoms out it tries to bend the jackshaft ?

Anyway he altered his and put the pivots in line but not on the same shaft.

Post #23 onwards

regards Paul

ps another reason for me to avoid that method of construction
