Hi thatcrazydad and Joe-405 I like the ideas but I'd need to see the implementation cause I'm having trouble picturing it. A few things I'm discovering during the development of this is, 1. It's hopefully a short temporary need. 2. Because it's temporary I don't want to make it too difficult...

Hi Tpdingo Yea it would be great if I could power or at least charge the unit off the motor but the electromagnet is failsafe by design since it requires power to keep the magnet attached to the slug pulling the throttle cable. The receiver and servo I'll need to watch, but the stock power...

My Solution To Remote Throttle Disconnect Sorry gentleman I know it's been a while since I posted this free shipping from China is not the fastest thing but hey it's free. Anyway I just wanted to share what I did on this. My kids haven't had a chance to test it since the weather has gotten...

Hi mckutzy I agree that would do the job but honestly I have a 27Mhz Transmitter and receiver from my old RC car that has a range of 1/4 mile. I don't likely need that kind of range but I can see needing more than 250' As far as loss of throttle since I'll be using a 3 channel radio and...

Hi Guys Thanks for the information. I'm thinking something like a small electromagnet like this. Placed in between the throttle linkage rod and the throttle cable. So as seen here. Item 106 would have the electromagnet attached to the end and item 38 would have a metal slug attached to it...

I'm here looking for advice on my latest project. I'm sure most of my questions will be a no brainer for seasoned Kart fabricators so please let me know if you see me headed in the wrong direction.
