Well i just got a 36v 500w 2500rpm motor on ebay for like 34 bucks with shipping, so now ill i need is the controller and batteries and i need to figure out the brakes lol

Wow, we just got 4 feet of snow....look like im not getting my go kart frame assembled this weekend...BUT, i did find a family friend that is a mechanic that can probably find me a good starter motor and a couple car batteries.

ill probubly go with a starter motor, where would be a cheap place to get one?

oooo thanks, :) thats what i hope mine will look like, but alittle longer cus im pretty tall ;)

well ill probably be putting the basic pvc frame together this weekend, im going to be useing a modified design like the one in the PDF on the first page of this thread. Ill probably be laying the fiberglass this weekend or next. The only problem is the engine and batteries. I dont really have...

sorry to bring this back up, but what kinda speed would i be looking at if i was to use a 120v ac motor, a converter, and a 12-24v battery setup? thanks

to be honest is the schedule that is on the shelf at home depot, lol i didn't rly look more then that. and i think im going to layer smaller pipes inside of the frame, and a small metal pipe on the very inside, like this http://pvcbuggy.com/plans.html

any other ideas?

its abs, but i really think with fiberglass and mabye some foam in critical areas this thing could really work...and i have no welding experience.

ohh and im using 2" PVC parts and tubing, incase anyone needs it for...anything lol

ooooo i like, this is similar to what i had in mind, but i looks like if i do this ill have to run out and buy alot my PVC parts ! :D

ok well what would you recommend for a cheap cheap fast engine? something i could find...mabye even...steal O.o

vacuum bagged? vas is das?

:D thanks!

Update, i found a 120v electric engine in a shopvac, you think i can suscesfully run it at like 72v?
