Oh yeah. My brother and I used to do donuts and pull each other in a sled all the time in the winter. So much fun. Dress warmly and try to wear goggles or something covering your eyes.

Hi guys... my buddy and I are finally going to start building this weekend. We have the new axle and bearings ordered. Right now, it's got front wheels/tires, pedals, steering system, frame (obv), and seat. I'll try to get a pic up Our plans are: Bigger rear wheels/tires Predator 212 cc...

Not sure, I thought any 3/4" clutch would work. could be wrong

Can someone help me out with a wheel/tire setup? I want a wheel that's about 5-6" wide with an offroad tire set up. Can someone just point me in the right direction? Thanks

What oil do you guys use?

Gotcha, thanks. So as of now my plans are: Predator 212cc engine 3/4" clutch conversion to live axle New rear tires (maybe wheels if needed as well) When I start to get parts together and my buddy and I are ready to start building, I'll post up a build thread. Thanks for all of the help guys...

I will get pics up ASAP, even though it's torn apart and pretty unorganized as of now. To convert it to live axle do I need new wheels? Just thinking right now, here's a question that I feel I shouldn't have to ask hahaha: I have the band brake setup right now from the old setup... how does...

Ok. I think I'm getting new tires in the rear anyways. Is it okay to have taller tires in the rear than in the front?

Do you mean the wheel/rim? Or the tire itself?

A buddy of mine were talking about this little project today. What I have now is the one-wheel drive setup right next to the engine. Is there a way to make the axle rotate both tires in the rear rather than just the one? Also, if I go with the predator 212cc, will any 3/4" clutch work? I chose...

Where could I get a Honda GX200 clone this cheap? I googled it and most are $300+. And if I were to go with an engine that's got a larger shaft size, where would I be able to get a new clutch setup/longer chains? Sorry if this stuff is simple knowledge I've never tinkered with teeny engines...

The original engine shouldn't have anything wrong with it. It hasn't been started in nearly 8ish years (wow) but when I get a jug of gas I'm gonna see if she still fires up. No reason it shouldn't. I would reuse it but I want a little project to work on, so an engine swap seemed like a cool...

Hi everyone, Just made an account here. My buddy and I are looking to drop a new engine in my old go-kart from when I was a kid. The one that was in before was a Tecumseh 3.5hp. I don't know much about these small motors and what would be a good way to go. Could you guys give me some...
