a jack shaft transfers from one shaft to the other youll see in the pics the chain goes from the axle to another shaft driven by the secondary clutch

ok i see it now. thus the turning moment of the engine is kept away from the frame and wheels. the issue then becomes the rigidity of the engine bay rather than the frame

i was interested because i have seen so many small front wheel drive cars when at high speed on 3 wheels in a triangle shape that i wondered how an amateur outfit would address what the professionals are clearly so bad at. a jackshaft does it

actually i buy them of the internet and through contacts i have made by buying repairing and selling the only thing i do at the scrap yard is sell my scrap to buy new metal the first couple of buggies where for eductional purposes im am doing this so i can learn (which i love to do )and then in the end i have what im building now perfected today i learned about how precise the alignment is and had to rebuild my a arms to exact measurements i can do anything you know why

because i i can do anything i put my mind to every thing on this is being custom made includeing the steering wheel i gave my friend a design i came up  with made out of a chain and he is going to make it with my help of course you can see the changes in the new pics
