Thanks that exactly what I was wondering

So i have been doing some looking and saw a youtube video where they used black plumbing pipe as a frame. They used a tubing bender like the harbor freight one and it looked to work pretty good. I looked a bit and you can get that stuff for $10 for 10 feet. If i used that is it as strong as if i...

your ganna have one heavy cart then.

So how much is that ganna cost for a 20 food peice and how much are you ganna pick up

Have you decided what you are going to use for metal I'm using 1 1/4" 16 gauge and what will you be welding with. Wire or stick?

I was just looking for a cheap set to get the job done. I found these for 29.99 at northern tool. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_22932_22932

Does anyone know a good site or program or even ipad app for designing a frame. I have tryed free handing it but that works for an idea but not a solid plan. I have done a little on paint but that does not give a definate plan either. I would like to shy away from tubing and use square.

What are the chances of that I am also 5' 11". I have heard it is better to go with a bigger size of square tubing and a lighter gauge that a heavy gauge and small metal. So I think 1 1/4 16 gauge would be enough. What are you planning on doing for hooking the shock from the swing arm to the...

This is something I would like to do. exept maybe square up the ends and make a taller back. I would not use suspetion arms up front just spindles with springs. Would you mind if i used these ideas for my kart.

Alright i decided to scrap my old idea and start from the drawing board. I would like to have a rear swing arm suspention and it the front to have a small coil spring in the spindles to keep it simple. I think if i want to have suspention like that i might have to have a little more of an...

I am that guy who can weld enough to make a cart that would be fun to take around the yard which is what i want but if i had a cart off of the production line that has supention and electric start i could take it on gravel roads and through fields without flying off my seat or breaking the frame...

What do yo think it it is worth in great condition and ho about if it is only ok and am i going to spend just as much building one than buying this one

I found this go cart on craigslist they say it is a sunl 150 cc with reverse and electric start. The reverse cable needs to be replaced so the reverse does not work right now. I was thinking about building my own go cart but i got to thinking i'm ganna spend at least 75 on metal 250 parts plus...

my dad is a deisel machanic... so he has every tool that would be needed. I have pleany of experince using shop tools i have rebuilt a few small block chevys so by no means am i new to the shop but i'm more use to bolt on and not fabrication and welding. the manin thing i am wondering on...

so i decided i am going to build a go kart from 1x1 16 gauge square tubing and i will weld it with a wire welder. I have a bran new briggs 5 hp engine. I was wondering about ideas for dementions. I will go with a ladder design. I am a little less than 6 feet tall. I am just wondering from...
