i plan on mounting the axle to my frame with pillow bearings. the wheels i have use a 5/8 hub so thats why the 5/8 axle rather than buying new hubs.

i know it seems thin. I went with DOM tubing. The shop i bought it from said its strong enough for me. Its just a 1000watt motor

doing a small electric project so i need minimal stopping power. I am going to have a 5/8 live axle in the rear. Would this brake work on that? It shows a 5/8 id bore so i assume it would fit my axle http://www.bmikarts.com/item/Internal-Expanding-Brake-5956

i'm using a 5" two piece rim with hub with 11" tire. Not a whole hub,sprocket, brake assembly. It is a small, low powered kart for just riding around the yard in so i don't need major stopping power. I guess I would use a band brake but not sure how that works or where to put it. Does it just...

just like the title says. Looking for possibly some 4-6 inch live axle rims with tires. Havent found much. Thanks

well as far as wheels i was figuring a 12 inch wheel but i'm new to this so i'm open to suggestions. I'm trying to make the kart as light as possible but i would like to have the option of towing another person behind me, hence the need for either more power, proper gearing or both. I'M Thinking...

building my first electric kart. I was hoping to make it an all purpose kart for street and light off road use with a top speed of 10-15mph. I was going to use some of the electric scooter motor kits. I know i will need one 1000w 36v kit. I'm not sure if this will be enough for what i need or if...
