It looks like a good design, but if you order the parts from them it seems expensive. I wish someone could figure out a cheap way to build one of these.

I have been a fan of bike powered cars for awhile now. I just found the site and I am loving all the interesting reading. I have an interesting idea that I will post next. Please check it out and let's have a discusion.

I think this should be looked at by the guys trying to build their own. Like like what they want to do anyway.

[jacob300zx]

Yeah, I think they will sale you the blueprints.

Thet do sell plans - AU$66.

Isn't this Rorty's site? If so, he's on here.

[jacob300zx]

Cool, if anybody has built one of these rear ends can you give us any info on cost, parts locating, difficulty?

[KB58]

All the parts are available form the same site. $4200 for the entire assembly. Note, however, that no center differential is included, nor desiged in. That works on an off-road dirt car, but not for a street-driven sports car...

Beuatiful design. True, there is no diff and a locked diff on something that light would feel weird. But it seems that with a litte recalculation you could make custom cvs and widen the center to allow a diff.
I just love how the arms line up vertically with the first cv. Those axles don't even look like they need to telescope. I wish I could run that setup from and back minus the chain drive component up front. And convert to some form of push/pull rod. Those huge shocks are nasty looking.
All in all, thanks for the link! Love it.
Oh yes, and welcome.
