I'm guessing I'm over 56kg (125lb) on Lil Bit. The cars are rated at 48kg (105lb) so the failure is expected. Especially when you look at the rough terrain I was going over. I'm not disappointed in the cart. It's my fault it broke. Now I just need to make one that won't explodegonandkarl wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2017 1:44 am I have the same cart as your old bust one and I managed to move my FS13 and the heavy 45 kg Micro Petrel around with it quite well without the alu parts bending. Maybe you got a Monday cart with too thin alu.
I think the problem is the actual wheels. I need to pull them off and verify, but without a real bearing/bushing I may just be pushing the limits of the design. My "guess" that it's the wheels is that post move they are sloppy on the axles but there is no slop in the axle itself. Has to be oval-ing of what passes for a busing. Options; new wheels, over drill and sleeve, lubrication. When I disassemble at lunch I'll asses the wheels and figure out what action I want to take.
I'm less pleased with me and more pleased that you all (the whole forum) stepped up to keep me out of the weeds on this. An example is the color selection... I doubt Jeff remembers, but he actually pushed the Oyster White over my first choice. "That one you are looking at is pretty bright, you sure you want that?" The selection of the v12... I didn't want that... was all JM, CL and the rest of you all chiming in. Same with the glassing of the bottom (which is already showing wear), methods to use and just about every technical step. 100% team effort.
Now, who can tell me how to make this mast and sprit using only a jig saw, router, and sand paper?
