    Help request anyone know anything about this kart? Just got it for my grandson and wondering if its worth rebuilding

    I was told by my local harbor freight that I could mod the engine as blow it up, run it over with a truck, or thrown it in the pond running and get it back out and bring it to them and they would exchange it. I asked them if they were serious and they said yes no questions asked warranty.

    Safe rpm to run for my motor? And my TC is smoking? Plus other questions

    Sounds like you have a street cruiser, track racer, off-roader, and yard kart all in one. That took a lot of thinking and time to design. Personally if I had it I would get a set of street tires and a set of big knobby off-road tires, and maybe beef up the tie rods a little up front. I used heim...

    I wish I would have done a two piece sprocket but I didn’t, hind sight 20/20... man those tires do look real small for your cart size, I would at least look into a 16” tall and at least 6.5” wide. Also, is that a purpose built design? Just wondering about the rear suspension, looks fairly...

    Went back out and actually got under the kart, looks to be 4 rollers solidly seated and two about halfway-three quarter way in. But if it becomes a problem and I do shred my chain and bearings I’ll have to throw the current gas tank out and mount a different one somewhere so I can move the...

    Looks like I did not state but yes it is a 10t 60t, also I meant “had no chain slipping” not “had to chain slipping”

    It is a 10 tooth with a 60 tooth sprocket like I stated at first. I have counted and it has 5 teeth grabbing with good contact and the chain is not overly tight at all and not to loose. I would love to move the engine back and trust me I’ve tried but with the gas tank still on there it is I can...

    I had in mind to get a billet connecting rod from arc in a little bit I just wanted to finish the kart all the way and drive it before I decided to up the rpm. I have a tach and it flashes red when I go above 5500 rpm with how I have the settings.

    The chain drive looks all good in person, the chain and sprocket and all is brand new and I haven’t had a problem with it yet. Yes, it is a 30 series TQ. It has a 30 series pulley with the green spring and a go power sports juggernaut driver. The belt is slanted on one side and flag on the...

    I figured traction may be the case as we have got some snow and I haven’t had it out before in the slick. It sounds from reading and looking that I would want to do an oil catch can. My question is when the oil goes in the catch can does it stay in there or keep filling up to where you have to...

    Close to the end of building my version of the spidercarts tarantula. I have the full chassis done (no body panels or floor yet) and all the mechanical is also done. At the point where I am driving it to make sure it all works good and like I want. Just finished with my final upgrade and that is...

    Tire and wheel hub help please

    I went and ordered all my parts and have most of the frame made up, minus the tabs for gas and brake lines along with side panels. I went with 18x10-8 cst ambush in the rear with 8x7 one piece rims on 4x4 hubs. Along with 18x6.5-8 Carlisle Snowhogs in the front with 8x5.75 rims on 4x4 hubs with...

    Tire and wheel hub help please

    They do not reply, I have tried multiple times. That’s why I have come to this forum But I think these questions are pretty general to karts not really company specific anyway

    Tire and wheel hub help please

    I’m planning on building a off-road go kart called the tarantula from spider karts. I’m a little confused here about wheel hubs and tire size, looking for some experience. I would like to use a 4 hole wheels all around. Planning on 8x7 wheel in rear and 5x5 3/8 in the front. My problem is can I...
