Chitty still has some issues but this winter I will sort them out,I did OK last year but the bearings gave me fits this year after I changed it to rack steering

I saw some races with the Chitty Bang Bang car. I assume it was yours. A real work of art. Waht were the bearing problems?

I had forgot to install the bearing spacer,it let the bearing push into the wheel.Dumb ass move on my part,was trying to hurry my build last year,I was sooo tired after 72 hrs of non stop work and it showed.It was in pieces on the weds before Tieton last year when I painted it and had forgotten I had made the spacers at work,so when I put it together I was in a rush!!!I have other issues also such as belt slippage due to the weight of me and the kart,it was fast last year but changed the gear to a 72,then installed new belt.Didnt get what I was after,so its back to the barn to work it out
