    I need to connect my tire cart to my Zuma. Anybody come up with a slick solution for this? Possibly a site that sells custom hitch?

    Thanks! :up:

    Simple hook. Drill it into the back fender of the zuma. Then put a full loop on the tire cart and that hitches on.

    We use the LP trailer cart and it works great. Hard acceleration, braking, 180-degree turning. I'll take a picture next time we have it setup, but the hardware was just bought at Home Depot.

    It's actually quite simple, as we had some more complex ideas that didn't work nearly as well. I'll try to snap a couple tomorrow ...

    Here are the pictures. Pretty simple really. The concept went through 2-3 iterations before perfected. A Joe Kraft special:

    Looks simple enough.... What kind of tire cart are you using?

    It's been officially tested in weight with 2 wheels (with tires mounted) and 2-3 extra non-mounted tires. No problems.

    Excessive speeding and hard braking has also been tested. The only test yet to be carried out is the full rear-tire lock/slide up to Rick at the tire tent when we're in a hurry. And then potentially a "sidecar" test during a mini-race for 100% full assurance and reliability.
