I've been thinking about this issues all through the build. I am at the go-kart stage right now shaking out some issues, one of which is that the throttle is sticking a little when it is floored. I know how to fix it but that's one thing that I just haven't fixed yet. My brother came over Sunday to look at the car for the first time in the go-kart stage. Against my better judgment I asked if he want to take it around the block. I told him about the throttle issue and he assured me that he would keep it in 1st and not push it. I was in the passenger seat when all of a sudden he floors it. Of course the throttle stuck wide open and he started to panic. Long story short, I shut it down with the battery kill switch. He was visibly shaken. I asked why he did it and he had no answer. I told him because of this situation that he has forever killed the chance of ANYONE ever being able to drive the car. By the way, I have a 408 stroker by Keith Craft putting out 512 hp.
