I did not build the Danger Car car. I bought it from a guy who bought it from someone who stopped racing. I originaly was going to buy brakes, wheels and tires to upgrade a cart I already had, but bought this one for less than the total aamount of the new parts. Now I have 2 carts.
<https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3mB0s9vDwFk/ULkcRRqmEJI/AAAAAAAAAC8/0lhCbsggM1Q/s1600/Danger+Car+4.jpg> The body on the car is small. It is hard to fit inside it for 6ft guy, so the body is lifted a little. There were wings front and back as well, but were cut off long long ago to improve aerodynamics. The wings slow it down.One of the modifications I need to do yet is to put a full belly plate on and enclose the sides and bottom. Brake set ups are usually one of the following. 1:foot operated drums or disks on rear wheels only. 2:foot operated drums on all 4 wheels. 3:foot operated scrubs on rear wheels only. Sometimes in the cases of 1 or 2, they will have a secondary hand lever operated scrub.
