So you remain on a #25 chain/sprocket set-up. I will be going to a #35 chain/sprocket as all the axle components are readily available. I just bought a few things from tncscooter. Good prices but the shipping kills you. My goods total $140 but the shipping is $42 Steve

Thanks for the link. Steve

Hi, Great looking kart!! I am also building a electric kart for my 5 year old boy. I was going to use Alltrax controller and some big motor but decided to scale it down due to his age. I think 15mph should be more than enough. So far I have bought a steering/spindle kit, Currie 750w motor and a...

The ones that I looked at run 24 to 48v and cost $350 http://www.ebay.com/itm/390347525264?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I don't see how battery is going to be a problem. 2 12v run in series will give me 24v. Current is something the motor draws at a given load. The...

Per the OP, he suggested overvolting a motor. So in this case, I am planning to run the 12v motor at 24v with 2 12v batteries in series. Then again, I can also just run a 24v motor as is. So the controller that I have in mind is a Alltrax AXE which can handle the task with ease. The next thing...

I went back to ebay to look at more motors. The same motors are used in winches and pumps. In that case, I wonder if these motors are good for my project since pumps are supposed to be run continuously. Steve

Yes, I am shopping for a Alltrax controller to handle all that current. So this motor is probably not optimal for a go kart then. Thanks, Steve

Hi Guys, I am thinking about buying this motor on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/330651717490?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 This seems to fit the bill for the electric kart that I am planning to build. I am totally new to building a kart so please bear with me. My question is...

Hi, Any update on this build? Also, the idea of an offset steering shaft is very interesting. Is that something that is available commercially? How would one go about making it if not? Thanks. Steve

Hi, What kind and size of front wheels are you using? I will need 4 of these to make a retro F1 car for my kid. Would you show some pics on how the wheels are mounted to the spindle? Thanks. Steve

Hi guys, My name is Steve and a father of 2 boys. I am 48 year old and have minimal mechanical skill. I am a eager learner though. 10 years ago, I bought a metal pedal car from a place name American Retro. It is a like a mini formula race car from the 1950's. The car was about $600 shipped back...
