So seeing as there's talk on here of the OMB Mini Bike Build Off, I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to have such a build off on this forum. I know this forum isn't as active as the OMB forum so it's doubtful there'd be as many entries, it would certainly be fun though. Perhaps a 2 wheeled...

:D:D

So over here in Aussieland it's now Christmas. :) I got this, an awesome Kincrome (high quality brand, I don't know if you guys outside of Aus get this brand?) toolbox. :D What did you get? Thanks Hayden

Anyone know where I can find one of the above? Thanks Hayden

If any Aussies want a go kart engine I suggest you grab this. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-stroke-engine-go-kart-lawn-mower-victa-/270762412862?pt=AU_Go_Kart_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f0ab28b3e#ht_500wt_898 It's a proper (factory built) horizontal shaft Victa, complete with 5/8" keyed shaft...

Soooooooo, I picked this thing up for $35, of course, it will end up with an engine on it. :D It's actually pretty good quality, the front wheels are metal with nice tyres, has proper rod ends in the steering, stuff like that. Very nice :cool: Oh, apart from the plastic back wheel, that is...

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119200 You're welcome. :thumbsup:

It would seem every time I log on, someone is asking what gear ratio would be good for their kart so I though I would create this. Please answer all of the questions below, if you don't, don't expect a useful answer. We need to know Tyre diameter, as in, the actual diameter, not just "oh...

Seeing as a fair few NZ guys have these mowers I thought I'd start a thread on them. I don't know much about these so it'd be great if the NZ guys could contribute. :thumbsup: Lifted strait from the Masport website, here's a brief history on them. _______ Masport Ltd started as a family...

Scrap kart V2 (Soon to be outboard powered) Picked this kart up from the tip today, it's pretty dead but I reckon I can revive it, none of the wheels turn and neither does the steering. Spindles turn (rod ends have rusted away) but have some play in them. It appears to be commercially made...

It's saying most of todays posts were made on the 15th of January?! I just made a post and it said it was made, today, the 14th. Is it just me or is this happening to others too? Thanks Hayden

Have a look here. Type in the dimensions, print out the PDF you then get, make sure it's 1:1 scale. Cut the template out. Tape it onto the tube. Trace the outline. Grab an angle grinder (called sawz all in America?) with a cutting disk and and a grinding disk, or even better, a...

Seeing as the forum crashed I thought I would post this. Using this technique you can view posts made in the time that we "lost" but you can't quote or (if the thread was made December of later) comment at all. First off, enter.. site:diygokarts.com ..into Google, this will make Google...

As far as I know, the forum has been dead for about 12 hours hours, the site came back on(but not the forum) and hour or 2 ago and now we're in 2010 again? Did the server crash in a bad way or something? Will all the stuff we've posted come back or is it all gone for good? A similar thing...

Does anyone know the diameter of both a 72 tooth sprocket and a 60 tooth in both 35 and 40 sizes? Thanks Hayden
