View Full Version : Help! Naming parts

I just got a good deal on a used Razor Electric Go Kart for my son only $20. Yes, $20 retail at $229. The throttle wasn't working but when I check once we got home, the kill switch wire was shorted out. Problem solved.
Problem not solved. My nephew wants one just like that and his dad couldn't afford a $229 gokart. I thought I would try to build him one using motor from razor E100 scooter that I got along with the gokart, for free. Just need a battery and swap the controller because the E100 is a kick start.
Anyway, before I can begin, i need to know names and terms.
On the back axle/wheels, what do you call that part where the frame and the axle meets? The part that make sure the axle/tires doesn't roll left and right. Same time I guess support the frame.
Hope, i worded that correctly.

Ok, I do not want to jacked other's(r12) thread. I just found out what I need. I actually need the Pillow Block.
Next question. I dont know how the axle and the wheels works by looking at the tire itself. Is there a part I have to buy to hold the wheels to axle. Once again this is the for the rear. The front i'm not worry because it spin free wheel.

ok you know how a car has a hub the holds the brake disc or drum in place... same on a go kart you need hubs for go karts.
and pillow blocks are basically bearings better for off road use..

Are you saying that the pillow block use only for bearing, and doesn't really prevent the axle from sliding?
