Re: 1:1 Landspeeder Project - NEW Pics & Vid on Page 31!!!
Howdy...
Originally, I purchased a late 70's era 3-wheel EZgo golf cart and stripped it down to the frame. At that point I had someone cut and stretch the frame an additional 18", and I also had the steering column repositioned.
After Wayne bought the speeder from me, he gutted the old EZgo motor and speed controller and swapped it out with much newer (and faster) gear. He also had the steering column re-positioned on the right hand side, repositioned the pedals, and added a second battery deck. He also made some other adds/mods to the frame.
The rear wheels are standard trailer wheels from Wal-Mart...They were the thinnest ones that I could find. I was trying to get the entire rear-end as narrow as possible without modifying the rear axle. There's not a whole lot of width back there.
Hope that helps,
Jason
