i mean like in sand the tires dont spin at all. the engine revs but wont move me. i weigh 175. but when i get out and pull the throttle and push a little it moves. im just worried the same will happen in the snow

So we all know the snow is coming soon. But im a bit worried that i wont be able to ride my kart on it. i have a 30 series torque converter and i know that it doesnt help when im in sand. I have a feeling the same will happen in the snow. does anyone have any experience with it?

sorry that was my fault. i meant to say the side away from the engine

so im thinking of buying this http://westernmass.craigslist.org/rvs/2025534751.html id be looking to put a swingarm on it and probably a roll cage. i also have a honda 8hp engine to put on it too. i can do the roll cage without a problem but i might run into some issues with the swingarm. my...

what would the effects of changing that sproket? would it run like it does now if i did that except just with bigger tires? will i lose any low end power? will my top speed be less?

sorry its taken so long, but the belt is curved on only one side, the side the engine is on. and the shaft is 5/8"

it does have a belt with two pullys ant the front sproket is mounted to the second pulley. im not sure about the second question. the kart isnt at home with me so i cant really look at the moment

im not sure what i have now. it came on the motor when i bought the kart. the motor is a 6 hp tecumseh. and i removed the fenders a while ago. they were constantly being banged around so i just took them off. i think it looks better that way too. and by front sprocket you mean the one on the...

that is an older pic. the rear are still good but have a little more wear than pictured. i have since bought new front tires in the same size as the old ones so the ones pictured are gone. i would really like more ground clearance mainly in the back because the sprocket bottoms out A LOT and i...

im not exactly sure what my rear tire sizes are off hand since it isnt with me. but the fron is a 145/75/6 and i have 6 inch rims in the front and 8 in the back. and heres a pic as well

so im looking to get some new tires and rims for my gokart but im stuck. i want something decently sized like an atv tire but i would need rims that only takes one lug instead of multiple in a circle but i cant find any larger rims like that. does anyone have a url where i can find rims like...

id much rather leave the kart the way it looks and create some sort of suspension system that comes off of where the axle is currently in place so i wont need to modify the frame much if at all ill work on a drawing

also, i was thinking. if i were to build some sort of bracket and support that could bolt onto a shock and then make another bracket that i could put on the axle and bolt to the other eye of the shock would that work? or would it be unstable?

im not looking to up the value of it. i want it to have fun. and i dont have the resources or materials to build one. id much rather make this one to my liking because its pretty close to that the way it is now

im upgrading from a centrifugal clutch. ive been told that doing this will upgrade performance and speed
