Hello all this is my first post, I live in New England so this will be a fun project I just need to find a mini bike frame to work with. I work at a large machine shop with extremely talented welders so I can get creative here, I already have a craftsman snow blower gearbox with tracks but they are the small 4" wide ones probably no more then 16" long what size are usually used in the pictures below? (which are mostly taken from this site)
Since my tracks are smaller maybe I can use both of them side by side? Even leave a few inch gap between them for stability? If I put them next to each other with no gap then I could lean on corners easier and even find a way to get one side to slip so it helps me turn like a tank...even a slight slippage on one side will help the front turn! I'm not a fan of 4-strokes I want a 2-stroker! I have a little 2-stroke Tecumseh rubber paddle snow thrower engine but it may not be powerful enough I might have to find an air cooled 2-stroke dirt bike engine, it's around 3HP/98cc's from what we think...which might be enough if the bike is small enough plus I only weigh 120lbs!
