Hi. Sorry it is sold. I was out of town.

SOLD Bought this to upgrade a cart, but realized it will not fit without major fabrication. Never used. Brand new. $90 located in richmond va

rear wheels / rims from an original hammerhead 80T go-kart, buggy. Upgraded the axle and can't use these anymore. $20 plus actual shipping. located in richmond, va

Ok, so it sounds like trying the 39 tooth on the axle is the best place to start.....

Hi all, So I have a kandi spyder - KD-150GKA-2 and it is slow and has no torque. Not to beat this aspect of the topic as it has been already covered in this thread: http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=26814 - Apparently, this seems common to this buggy. My question is which...

I agree on buying genuine Comet brand, but unfortunately it is not available (for a semi-reasonable cost) for 2 day shipping. So I tried an off brand. Worst case, I return it. We are heading out of town on Friday and taking the buggy so I took a chance.....

So it appears that the mudhead and the 80T are both a hair under 7" - 6.96" according to my digital caliper. See the attached pictures. The one with the digital is set to 7.126" (7 1/8). As you can see my distance is a little smaller than that. It actually matches my 80T - and I runa 203589...

Figures- I ordered a belt this morning. :) But wait - Looking at the parts diagram, the swing arm for the motor does not adjust. Attached is a pic of the part. :huh: I will double check the measurements when I get home.

Actually I have not fixed it yet. What I listed is what I had done already and it was still slow. This morning before work I went outside and popped the cover and looked at the belt. I am pretty sure it is the wrong size. Attached are pics that shows the belt number and the slack in it. I...

After further research, the swing arm is not big enough to fit a reverse box. Bummer. Would have to rebuild the entire thing and that is not worth it in my opinion. Moving on.... :)

Thanks for the great response! I did look at the throttle setup. It appears that it is ok now. The throttle return spring was broken so I snagged that off of the old motor from the 80T. The "arm" on the gas pedal that holds the cable end appeared to have been either broken off and rewelded...

Hi all, Just picked up a 2015 Mudhead 208R for the kids. Already have a hammerhead 80T but it does not have reverse. The thought was this was going to replace it. Somehow it feels considerably slower than the 80T. Of course I cannot do a direct comparison as I am in the process of putting...

that makes sense. appreciate the info. as for rim width - I don't know if they are identical. Can't find anything on line about rim size - just tire size I pick up the buggy tomorrow so I can't dismount them and check right now. I would assume that getting a tire that is 1/2 between both...

Hi all, So I just picked up a 2015 mudhead 208r and it needs tires. The stock size are: front - 16x6-8 rear - 16x7-8 two questions - can i put a 16x6.5-8 tire on both rims? they would be 1/2 wider than stock front and 1/2 inch narrower than stock rear? Also - what would be my impact to...

unfortunately, used karts around here are pretty thin. I also have the transmission and the new engine already - so I might as well fab something up. Just looking for some more details pics.
