Hi Worchester
If the track was perfectly smooth, suspension? Slightly washboard,
suspension? pot holes, suspension? Undulated, suspension? would a go kart
perform better
with suspension? A rubber drive shaft would prevent shock loading. I think
suspended vehicles have broken parts too. I will never build a suspended lsr
vehicle, but always wish I had! Just some things you have already thought of. I
believe controllability is more important than traction or the lack of. jack
