Thanks for the comment. I've been planning on doing exactly what you said so it's good to see that I'm on the right track. I found a picture of a sandrail on the web that did this and it looked pretty slick. Once I have my steering linkage built and set, I'll mock something up. Do you think...

Thanks Holybeen, with the way it's setup the front suspension geometry will remain consistent even when the shocks are compressed or extended.

I was thinking about that, however I like working with fiberglass and haven't built anything with it lately. I really wanted a bomber style kirky aluminum seat but don't want to spend the money and I don't have the tools to weld aluminum. I do really want a plasma cutter and TIG welder though...

Awesome! I will be picking up some tube in the next week to build the cage. I was going to order a seat online but think I'll build my own out of steel rod (frame) and fiberglass.

Firemanjim thanks for the reply and answers to my questions. I'll give the axle to my friend to have it threaded. I'm going to use rose joints on either end of the connection for the steering arms to accommodate any horizontal movement as 1 to 2" really will be it. I was doing some research on...

I was toying with idea of entering the build off but didn't want to wait and slow down my progress, so I'll add my build thread here. I have a few questions also that I'm not sure about: 1) I cut the rear axle to width and there is no threaded end to ensure that the hub stays in place. The...

Thanks. I was going to double a arms up front but wanted to try something different so I made independent swing arms up front with a pair of front shocks off of a banshee. If it works how I'm anticipating great! And if not I'll cut it off and try again.

Very cool project! Looking forward to seeing more pics.

Been creeping on the forum for the past two months and decided to register. My son is 5 now and outgrown his 12v gator and atv, so I was looking for something gas powered, and made the decision that we'd build a go-kart together, and his sisters can have the gators. Was originally going to be a...

quality looking frame. very nice.
