Go to petalcard.com/ghpc to find out more and get started today! Thanks to Petal for sponsoring this episode. This week we put petals, a throttle, gas tank and battery tray into our RX7 Wankel rotary engine powered drift trike. We took the drift trike out for its first test drive and it is amazing! Fast loud and better than we thought it would be in any way!

@kylethatcher5828 2 года назад

You mentioned in a previous video that there is some slop in the steering cables as it cycles through the steering. this is because the cables aren't perpendicular to the steering axis. as it cycles you introduce variance to the angle/length. try swapping the cables to the bottom the steering assembly at the handlebars. this will move the cable path downward and make it a lot closer to perpendicular, and should eliminate some of the slop.
