Found some pictures of the same style axle by searching "carter brothers live axle." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While I don't want to spend a fortune on this thing, I'm not SO worried about cost only because this will be a pretty drawn out project. My son is only four so he can't even drive it yet. I have the time to space out buying parts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure what you mean when you say the ID of the tube. I plan to buy a predator 212cc and that's as much as I know so far.

The tube is 30 inches from end to end but I don't have any bearings with it. The axle was removed years ago by who knows who so basically what's in the picture is all I have. Do you have a link to the video you are referring to?

I have searched everywhere I can think and haven't seen any examples of an axle like this where it goes through the tube. I'm new to go karts but have some backyard mechanic experience. I got this frame for free and it had no axle. Also if anyone could tell me where online I could buy parts for...
