500W Electric Kart - Plan Details

DRIVE GEARBOX BOX

The drive gearbox is detailed over 8 drawing sheets. The first four describe the assembly and its components and the procedure to follow to put the box together from the made and bought parts. A list of parts is included which identifies all the parts including motors, bearings, gears, brakes etc.

The detailed dimensions and materials for the steel shafts and required modifications to the bought chain sprockets and spur gears are detailed on a further single sheet.

The final three sheets describe the build of the gearbox's timber casing. They detail the sizes of the cut parts and go on to describe in detail the important bonding/construction sequence by which the proper shaft alignments and center distances are set.
