Background
ACDC is my second generation Hacky Racer build. I built this racer based on all the lessons I'd learned from racing my original racer (Bodge Charger), i.e it was too tall, too narrow and too unstable. So ACDC is built to have as low a C of G as possible with a wider track than Bodge Charger giving superior handling in corners, this means I don't need to slow down so much in the corners. The chassis is 1500mm long (max allowed at the time of construction) and the width is determined by the widest I could possibly make it and still be able to roll it down the pathway at the side of my house.
Construction
The base Chassis is a mobility scooter with the original front axle.

Limitations
The driver (me) weighs too much! No suspension. Ground clearance is only 4 cm at the lowest point and not suitable for bumpy fields or long unmown grass. Single wheel drive is poor in muddy conditions (otherwise its just fine).
