Hey guys just thought I’d post an update on this build. Finally “finished” it yesterday and took it for a spin (I say “finished” because there’s always more to do!). Actually drove it for quite a bit. No major issues but definitely feel what you were talking about regarding the live axle always...

Yeah, and if you take a look at that YouTube video I posted at the top, he shows you start to finish how it can be built. The only problem is I don’t have that much machining knowledge or tools and so I’m trying to make this work with mostly stock parts. And cheap parts to boot! But apparently...

Thanks! I will definitely be reinforcing the maple frame with square tubing or maybe even rectangular, depending.

That’s a good point. I did have a little concern over the top heavy nature of this design! I’ll let you know how it works out (if at all!). The “plan” for the brakes is somehow using the disk brake setup that was included in the kit. I plan to make a mounting bracket for the caliper and welding...

I’m making it out of solid maple and reinforcing the whole rear or it with square tubing, as well as the front axle. This is especially necessary for where the motor will be mounted. Considering split axle too. Thanks!

Hi all! I’m new to the forum, as well as new to building go karts. I recently started a project with my son and we set out to build a 1920s Briggs & Stratton buckboard Flyer. It’s basically a go kart. We’re sort of following Winky’s Workshop’s build on YouTube. For reference: Anyway unlike his...
