Re: Triumph club car
The donor vehicles. I currently have the engine sitting inside the cart just not attached yet as I was waiting to decide what to do with a rear axle. My tig welding isn’t the best but the cart was cheap with no engine.

Re: Triumph club car
Sorry to not post everything at once. But the only thing I’m unsure of is if the rear end set up will hold up to the 120hp As the stock hp on the quad is only like 56.

Re: Triumph club car
You’ve got a nice build jrl. Like the idea of 4wd. I’m thinking extend wheelbase for sure but I do want a rear seat as I do a lot of camping. I’ve always liked different... and plus people have told me I couldn’t do it so it’s a little bit of a challenge. Plus you guys inspire me that I’m not the only one crazy enough to do it. Really some great info on here. It crossed my mind to not do this and fix the quad but really it’s not worth it it needs basically a whole engine. This triumph engine only has a couple thousand miles. Worse come to worse I’ll put a live axle back there just thought all around independent suspension would be nice

Re: Triumph club car
1962 Base Falcon, I started out cutting the whole bottom out and building a full chassis big tire car. 408 Stroker, FTI C4, 9 inch with 4.56 and a full spool. Runs good. Took me 3 years to build it.

Re: Triumph club car
I kinda agree with JRL about the Horse power thing, you may have it but you will rarely use it, I think the quad rear will work. Is the Triumph engine chain or driveshaft, is the rear axle chain or driveshaft. If you are chain I would run the biggest rear sprocket you can fit, that will take some stress off the gears.

Re: Triumph club car
Man that’s a nice car. Now that’s an expensive project but worth every bit I’m sure. They are both chain drive sprocket on bike engine is a 14 tooth now. Biggest I have seen for the four wheeler is a 56 tooth so I thought about raising the bike front sprocket to a 16. I’m hoping this thing don’t take me 2 years to finish I’ve been collecting what I need over a year now.

You can easily calculate your speed at various RPMs. Pick a close drive axle tire size (circumference), look up engine final trans output ratio, and work out your sprockets and the potential speed can be brought up. If offroad primarily, definitely 12 or 13 tooth CS. Create a slick shifter for the trans. If the trans slips out of gear a few times, or fails to engage fully, you'll destroy the transmission. Jerking it on pavement will also destroy clutch and tranny. The ATV tires have much larger contact patch than scoot. More grip. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

Re: Triumph club car
Holy dog doo, Batman! Looks great. A little more pep than a 170ci 6cyl.
