Hey guys,

Since there are going to be a lot of these coming together over the next few months, I thought it'd be a good idea to start a thread that can serve to show off what you're creating, provide a help-ground for those of us who need inspiring or need to know the best way to modify angle grinder shafts or fit the tools to a frame, and mostly serve as a general question zone if you're stuck with your racer's design or operation, or need any clarification on rules or eligibity (hopefully, if they don't mind, James or Grant will be able to guide us with wisdom on such matters )

I'm just planning a simple 'Stock' entry so far with a belt sander and some skateboard wheels as its all I reckon I'll have time for, but the engineering mind inside of me is wanting to come up with a dual-motor angle grinder racer. Just wondering if there ar any tips for attaching wheels to angle grinder shafts? Just tapping a thread in the wheel bore that matches the grinder shaft thread? Or fitting a sprocket and having a chain reduction? (close-up pictures of drive transmissions would be very much welcomed)

Just for reference too:

After initial scepticism about having to enter a drag racer to enter the tag champs, I think I'm starting to look forward to the challenge
