design idea,needs opinions.

[daddue11]

I am seriously thinking of seriously building a kart in this design,I really would like to know some opinions from some of the experienced builders mainly if the rear and front ends would fight each other or would the wider front end help the steering?
Thank you all very much.

Look's like a pretty basic desihn. Appears you are going to be using a swingarm setup. The motor is going to have to be behind or infront of the rear axle.

That's exactly the kind opinions I'm looking for.
thak you,I'm thinking of putting the engine behind the axle.
Just courious,but what happens when you put the motor directly above the axle? thanks again.

Well you need room for at least a 60 tooth rear axle sprocket so it the crankshaft cannot be in the same line as the axle. Unless you mount the motor above the axle.
