Hi guys,

This build is basically made up of bits and bobs laying around at home. BRP split rims, 9x3.50.4 scooter tyres.

25mm ply chassis and bolted on solid axle from the popular Hill Billy golf trolly. Using the 20aH 12V battery and ESC and the 10K potentiaometer that I hold to control the boys, only giveing them steering abilty for now.

Stripped a toy hummer for the twin seats and the steering wheel. The chassis runs well, heres a youtube link to the kart with the old homemade 1/4 TT bodyshell.

Now - I know it's not a true replica of a Jeep but it's so far only a Saturdays work. I want my two boys to enjoy it this Summer so not about true details - maybe next winter, I'll have another crack at it.

I have been unsuccessful in adding any photos, the files are all too big for the 2Mb limit.

If your running windows just open up any paint program you have and resize the photo, have you tried this yet?
