A big thank-you should go to Mike (oz) for organising such a great Kart day. Although at first the weather was against us, then the light, it was still such a good day with plenty of drifting and crashing into each other (sorry gordo :Oops: )

Im sure Mike will post up lap times and Andrew our Resident Photo guru along with Adrian who wasnt taking pics of the day. Pics should be posted soon *looks at andrew*

Once again Thanks Mike look forward to the next one.

Yep, was a great day! Thanks for organising it Mike - on ya for taking the initiative and planning it all.

Would have been funny getting a shot a bunch of skyline guys looking longingly at the empty patch of ashphalt / skid pan(?) below .. what a waste! hehe

Chaos: no worries ! stacking is part of the fun of gokarting anyhow :)

Too late, I've finished the video :mad:

It comes in 3 sizes ... Small, Medium and Large. Small and Medium are both 320x240, Large is 640x480. Medium should be good enough for everyone. Small the sound is just way too crap.

Small - 4.24Mb

Medium - 12.5Mb

Large - 48.6Mb

They are currently uploading to webspace, I'll post a topic and link when they've finished.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
