First try in making a Go-Kart

[indianblood]

yeah! will mod it further after my semester ends

 

[Simon Thomas]

Cool design!

What was the trial run speed?

 

[ozwaldcopperpot]

Great looking design but i had the same question BMan did what engine are you playing to use?

 

[Simon Thomas]

I haven't got the speed yet. What was the max speed of your design?

 

[indianblood]

Cool design!

What was the trial run speed?

I haven't got the speed yet. What was the max speed of your design?

it wasnt much around 10 kmph

Great looking design but i had the same question BMan did what engine are you playing to use?

I used a 50cc engine which has maybe 4 bhp
not sure though

 

[Doc Sprocket]

10 Km/h? Wow. (For you Americans out there, that's 6 MPH)

Why so slow? Are you geared way too low, or were you just taking it easy?

 

[Simon Thomas]

For the cageless design that you have, may be that speed is safe enough :toetap05:

yeah gearing is short and there is no air in tires so that solves the equation!

For the cageless design that you have, may be that speed is safe enough :toetap05:

will make a roll-cage! then will change the back chassis,gearing ratio.
hope then it'll run fast

 

[indianblood]

Made some changes,after my semester exams

 

[sonofwind]

What is the length of your kart?

 

[landuse]

Good job. It looks as if you are practically finished

 

[indianblood]

completed it,at last the wheelbase is 185cms

 

[Doc Sprocket]

So- how's it run? Were you able to measure the speed? Maybe see if you can put up a video clip!

 

[indianblood]

The exhaust is broken,so it makes a lot of sound, runs fine, here's a vid of it
speed? quite good around 30-35kmph

[3wheelkart]

why u made it 4 wheel and not 3 wheel ad how did u use engine i got bajaj caliber bike working and want to use it for gokart so plese help guys plese (bondu madat karo)

 

[kaymo]

because a 3 wheel design with tires that small would be extremely unstable unless you were ONLY going in a straight line. the steering rack is cool, but seems overcomplicated for such a small cart. also that "cage" doesnt look very protective. a few braces would strengthen it quite a bit. seems a bit tall too...

other than that, looks like you have a fun little cart. now go chain up those gas bottles
