arshavin23 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Hi all, does anyone know where i could get plans or find out how a golf cart works... i am designing a model which is similar to a golf cart and want to use the same parts as a golf cart uses to run it..... thanks Quote
nukecad Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 How big a model? I did some stuff with remote control / robotics a few years ago and found a few helpful UK suppliers for parts who also had lots of plans, Ill dig out their websites for you. Off the top of my head RS components has nearly every electronic and mechanical part you will need, but they can be a bit pricey. Quote
arshavin23 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 thats great thanks, i will be designing the model on autodesk inventor as part of a college project... I will need to research the type of engine i require and how it works, thanks Quote
nukecad Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Here are a few links to get you started components http://www.automotioncomponents.co.uk/ http://uk.rs-online.com/web/ radio control http://www.fusionhobbies.com/RC-Accessories-s/17.htm http://www.speedymodels.com/engines-parts-and-all-accessories-56-c.asp This looks interesting and has all kinds of plans http://www.john-tom.com/ PS- golf carts usually have electric motors; golfers dont like being put off their shots by noisy IC engines.

arshavin23 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 hi nukecad, the last website is indeed very interesting and should be a great help to me, thanks for your help sir! Quote
Tankman Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Stick with Nukecad's links. Side view of an electric cart'll do nothing but, attached anyway. GSE_ELECTRIC_CART.dwg Quote
arshavin23 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 thanks dude, im sure this will come handy when i reach the concept stage, just writing a design brief at the moment but thanks again, much appreciated:) Quote
Tankman Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Do you happen to know anyone who can open an *.rfa (Revit) file? RVT2008 file? Quote
arshavin23 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 Do you happen to know anyone who can open an *.rfa (Revit) file? RVT2008 file? yeah i can??? Quote
Tankman Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Ok! Sent you a PM with a link to the *.rfa file. Looks nice but, I can't see any mechanical details. Let us know how that file works for you. BTW, it's 1800 hrs (6 PM) here in Pennsylvania, USA. Are you burning the candle late? Quote
