Driving an Omni-Wheel Drift Cart PART #2

Ad: Visit to get 50% off your first month of any subscription! Normally drift carts have powered back wheels with less grip than usual so they can slide sideways, but in my case, I’m using an omni-wheel on the back which is like a normal wheel, but has lots of longboard wheels around its circumference. That means it can be powered to drift the cart sideways, but drive forwards and backwards under power from the front wheels. The back wheel was originally made for the balancing omni-wheeled bicycle project which you can check out in my channel. The front wheels are 10” hoverboard wheels which have motors built into the hubs, so this makes building front wheel drive with steering a lot easier. Last time I got most of the chassis together including the steering assembly, and I got the omni-wheel mounted on the back, along with a motor and belt reduction gear box to drive it. Altogether it looked pretty good, and I think it’s going to drift around just fine – and under power which should make it super controllable. This time we need to get the steering column built, but before that I need to put the seat on so I can get the handlebars in the right place, and work out what angle I need the steering column to be at.
