Hi, Everytime I go to turn a corner at speed on my go kart, the rim seems to slip inside the tyre and sever the valve right off. Ive been through at least 3 inner tubes now and its totally discouraged me from driving my kart. How do I fix this

Yes he is a close relative and we were really good friends... Not anymore though. Christmas dinners are going to be much different from now on

Yeah we did try it on the road but in the video we didn't want to thrash it because the chain needs tensioning.

So here is a video of the first run!!! Its just me and my friends fooling around in the park trying to pull some drifts :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcX7o6zRukI&feature=channel_video_title

Im making do in the park without any problems so far. I was driving around the park fro a good twenty minutes which is right over the road from my house and my mum says it's no louder than a lawn mower so it shouldn't annoy people if I don't to it for extended periods of time. And yes...

Hahaha yeah seems like a great idea! I think because my cousin was with his partner he didn't want to seem biased because last time I spoke to him he was keen to see it go.

The engine isnt even that loud! Its sounds very similar to a mower, maybe slightly louder. Its pretty disappointing but I think its worth the risk of someone complaining because I doubt they will unless i do it too often and i really tear up the park. If I do it responsibly and with respect to...

I really feel that Ive spent enough on the kart already... Ill just have to risk getting a fine. My friends have driven a small quad in the park plenty of times without getting complaints. Ive also driven a kart in the park with nothing but people congratulating me. SO i dunno

Yeah but unfortunately my cousin is pretty high up in the ranks, If someones calls the police about someone driving a go kart in the park, and he comes to check it out, and I've bailed, He knows exactly where I live and he will question me. >:|

Im not in america, we dont have "sherriffs"

Its a five horse clone.... And he's going to be driving around untill he sees me in the park with it and then he'll shoot me a fine... Im so utterly dissapointed..... The cars i have wont fit the karrt in it so i cant take it anywhere :(

So today I fixed up my go kart and was finally ready to take it for its first proper drive. I get to the end of my driveway and a cop pulls up and tells me that I cant use it around here because it will disrupt the neighbourhood! And even worse, the cop that pulled up and told me off, was my...

Well I finally finished my axle at school!!! It's a one inch round bar and bored out about 50mm on each side to fit the thread for the wheel in, then the thread is welded in place. It looks fantastic and I can t wait to hook it up and get it running for really, the first PROPER test drive...

Does anyone have anymore info for me?
