Toystory- To answer your first question no it didn't always feel like that. that first time I took the kart out it felt pretty good but felt like it got sloppy with time.

Well I am unable to bring it back because I have used it and it has been longer than 90 days since I purchased it. Any ideas on what I could do to the engine to increase its performance? I would like to add a better air intake system but I am only seeing ones for the predator 212cc. Will these...

new pics to come

420 cc predator should give PLENTY OF POWER. But just from experience you should definetly go with a 40 series TC for full potential. Check out my cart I used a Predator 349cc and have plenty of power. http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=20584

update I will get you guys some new pics and I think that the drive is a 349cc motor with a series 40 torque converter to a jackshaft with 10 tooth to a 60 tooth on the axle. Turning 24in tires on back with 20s on front. It still has some reasonable pickup and acceleration.

My Rack and Pinion Yea Sorry about the PICS by the time I realized it they were sideways....The rack and pinion idea is all me I didnt want to spend 100+ buck on one so I made one. It is basically a chain Welded to a sliding peice of metal that is turned by the small sprocket that you see. I...

These are just some of the Pics of my buggy/go kart project. Ideas are appreciated!
