a few more pics



now for some advice, we are doing the disk brake conversion at the mo.

if i had a 30mm steel spacer, 150mm o/a dia with a hole through the middle, aka a polo, and the shaft the hole fits over is 88mm, how big should the hole in the polo be, if we were to heat up the polo to red hot the hole in the middle will grow, so if the shaft is 88mm , and the polo is cold, we need the hole in the polo to be bigger than 88mm when hot, so how big should the hole be when cold

87.92 mm

Rule of one thou per inch for a sweat fit. The mating faces need to be the best Finnish possible for max contact area. Wipe the shaft with light clean oil before you drop the hot ring on as it will aid fusion and cool with an air line (don't quench!)
And it doesn't need to be red hot ! 250 deg will do as it will reach max expansion at that temp. Red hot will aneal and soften the metal "not good"

If you get issues with the engine elecs and it all gives up the ghost have a look on ebay or other places . The mondy engine is mega common with all the banger racers . They all have custom home made manifolds and run a carb with a few wires to make it all run/charge stuff . Mega simple . They pop up on ebay from time to time . This is probibly useless info for you now but maby usefull for someone who's looking for inspiration on engine choice.

It's good to see someone else pushing the boundaries. Theres very little spider-esk out there in the UK. Will be interested to see it going.

Yes I'm Eurotrialling this year. All going well, 5 weeks today I'll be competing in Italy. Just overhauling the truck at the moment. It's nice to have some time to go through it all before going rather than being in a mad rush!
