They are both currently geared with 10T/60T and 22" tires all around. It's surprisingly not as heavy as I thought either.

I am near completion with my dual motor off-road buggy and had someone ask me a question I'm not familiar with. They asked if I was going to run the same gearing on both motors or one for high and one for low. Would that be possible and would I in theory need two different pedals or one pedal...

More work done on the cage this weekend. Going to add a few more braces in a couple areas. Also getting the motors set up as a Stage 1.....for now! hahah!

Did a little revision on the dual engine cradle. Hmm...beefy motor mounts! Except the top plate on the right engine mount needs to be turned 180°, got ahead of myself as on the last one lol. Set up for a 212 or 420! I also need to move the outside bearing mounts back a little to line up with...

So I decided to go with two 212's on my build since that's what I have on hand and can't justify the cost of a 420 or 670. All materials I have on hand or had made at work. The motor mounts are base off the Azusa swing mount but made to my specifications. The sprocket that is on there now will...

Got my custom built spindle parts in the mail yesterday for my daughter's off road kart build. All made from 1/4" steel. They will be beefy and be able to take a beating!! Can't wait to get them welded up! After that I will make the new a-arms for it. These are designed to use heim joints along...

Just something I've been messing around with on the side in between waiting on parts for my big buggy build. Will be one on each side and both have adjustable plates. This is an added benefit of my job, can design my parts and have them cut out fairly quick! There will be a link going to each...

Pretty much scrapped what I was doing with the Manco Buggy and decided to build a proper one! This is being built from the ground up. Literally since I built the table as well!!! All the seat mounts were designed by me at work. Benefit of working at a CNC plasma/Oxy-FUEL shop!!! The tubing laid...

Is the preferred gear ratio for an off-road kart 6:1? Or is a 5:1 acceptable? The last thing I need to get other than brakes are sprockets. I want to do an axle setup kind of like Grind Hard Plumbing did on their Barbie jeep to help protect the axle and the chain. So I want a relatively smaller...

I'm most likely going with a 5" rim on the Rowdy Audi and on the hunt for rims. My question is if I find some affordable two piece rims and want to use a 11x6.5-5 tire. Can I use a spacer in the middle of the rim to adjust for the tire width? I have access to CNC equipment and a lathe to be...

So with being done with the Carter Brothers kart and actually canceling the Manco Buggy, I am about to start my own power wheels cars conversion. Got a free gc190 from a few end that is coming off a pressure washer. Will need some cleaning up but happy it wasn't a gc160. I'm waiting to pick up...

Saw this in a Facebook group and would like a bigger size one for an adult. It's just a little crawler kart that would be fun to toy around in. Very interesting rear end set up!:auto:

After riding the kart for a little bit I decided to tear it back down and throw some color on it. Let my daughter pick the color, Sunburst Yellow. Need to touch up the wheels and I have some perforated sheet metal that I'm going to make a guard at the front that wraps underneath.

What in the world is this thing? I've never seen a kart like this with so manu mechanical moving parts! The body that comes with it is awesome and wish I had it for my kart •MERGED• Here are a couple more, it pretty small. Anyone know how old it is?
