    Man I'd love to put this on a modified predator 212 and our go-kart hahaha

    Manco

    Given the hassle of finding stuff for a hex axle, get yourself a whole axle kit of standard round axle type. Trust me.

    Madprofessor, the juggernaut is a CVT.

    Bought new rims need help

    Had the exact same issue on my manco. Bought some generic wheels for the front and they rub the spindle. Spacers/spacer washers seem to work.

    What welder brand(s) are you using?

    The only reason I had a TIG for years was the ability to switch back and forth between steel and aluminum with essentially a flick of the switch and maybe swap of the tungsten versus MIG, and lack of spatter. I'd love a MIG unit that does steel and aluminum though.

    What welder brand(s) are you using?

    I'd have to dig through old hard drives. It was ~15 years ago or so, but it was a conversion on a 94 4runner. cut the IFS out and added leaves with an '85 yota front axle from a junkyard. That thing was fun. The 3vze v6 was a dog, but indestructable.

    What welder brand(s) are you using?

    Flux core can be perfectly strong with good penetration. I did a live axle conversion on a yota via flux core welder, and it was beefy.

    What welder brand(s) are you using?

    So I found with a tig welder using a larger cup (#10) and screen actually cut down on my argon use and made for better welds. I am no pro, but did a ton of reading back when I bought a hobart unit I had years ago. Wishing I didn't sell it.

    Go-kart engines not many people use but should

    Just saw the Lifan 15hp 420cc on Home Depot's website for $350....

    McCulloch Chainsaw

    Wouldn't that essentially be a 30cc (or less) engine? Is this a Kart for toddlers?

    Small Block vs Big Block Speed Difference? What is Better?

    so eliminate the governor in that case since i'm cracking it open for a rod and cam?

    Small Block vs Big Block Speed Difference? What is Better?

    I have a 390 i've been deliberating putting on my manco. Do I need more revs out of it, or just 'stage 1' air filter, carb jet, and exhaust upgrade? Currently getting about 25-30 out of a 212 stage 1 with CVT.

    Freevalve tech on predator

    I watched the miata video and it looks like he's using air-actuated solenoids. And yeah I had those similar concerns....but Koenigsegg uses them in ultra cars. I suspect he's done thorough testing on them. Honda and practically everybody else has figured out variable timing and lift. Nissan...
