I tried a 300cc big block and a 5hp flat head. Neither would fit.How can it fit? I thought you already tried the larger engines, if not a Derp 212cc and they won't shoehorn in....
The 212 fits just fine. Just didn't have it at the time.

I think you should fab up a little kiddie kart for 6-8 year olds; one-wheel-peel, use HF “go kart wheels“
put that 79cc engine on it and thrill some kid on his/her birthday (or Christmas. Uh, make that Christmas 2026, no pressure).Denny

No HF wheels. Hellion you’re a moderator you should know better!

Nah let him send it. The results alone are at least worth noting. That way we can say, hey this is why you DON'T use them. Same goes with using cast iron fly wheels and removing the governor.No HF wheels. Hellion you’re a moderator you should know better!

We need more "HF go kart wheel" failure stories. We must keep the education going, gentlemen. Education through real-world experience, and not just what someone says or hearsay.

Sometimes FAFO hurts and WTR is to valuable a member to loose. We need someone who’s expendable to do it like Freerunner 15 or Hellion.

I see you have a very low opinion of WTR
. Do you really think he's stupid enough to use those wheels? I know he's one of the sharpest fellas around here and he already knows about 'em. I bet they're fine for a kiddie kart with a 55lbs boy driving it though. Probably last forever in that application....Anyone ever tried putting some respectable rubber (Kenda, etc) on those rugged HF rims?

I loathe those cheap tires. Even on a light duty dolly. Always flat.
I would like to see a go pro mounted above one on a kart and watch how fast the asphalt eats them.
Id do it, but I dont have either camera or asphalt.

No idea. He got himself perma banned for going on a tirade. Came back like a few months later under a different account and hasn't been back in a HOT minute. Same with Alex (itsid).

Alex was a valuable resource. I wish he was here too.

If he lost his login info, he would have made a new account by now. Wonder what happened? I knew at the time (as I mentioned this before) but that part of Germany was under some nasty flooding. I know he gear ratio calculator app no longer works.

He was a super moderator, he didn’t loose his log in information. He just don’t care about us anymore.

If you think dealing with advisors is bad as a customer at a dealership, try being a technician at one. I'm surprised half of them remember to breathe. But honestly, don't know who's worse...advisors or salesman? Because at least 2/3rds of those chuckle nuts are back here asking us, how some stuff works in vehicles.
