    Mini-Engineering Go Kart Project

    Roll Cage is a work in progress. I like it being dis-connectable right now while I am still working on it. I can get a hold of a welder but I am going to hold off on it till I get some other stuff I have planned for it done. Good catch though, definitely will have to take care of that when all...

Keeps the frame nice and rigid and helps with the hard cornering forces those tires generate. If you rephrase it...

    Need help with Multiple Design Decisions

    Yeah I am a hockey fan. Played for at least 12. I had a feeling about 4 bearings and I just think it would be a good idea to do that. I had a live axle at first and it had some wicked crazy bend. I replaced it with a differential because the thing kept turning off around corners it wasn't...

    Need help with Multiple Design Decisions

    Alright I have had this go kart for about 4 or 5 years now and its been an experimental process but I have reached a point where I need some advice before I move forward but attached are some pictures since they are 1324 words (2011 Net Value). Here are my questions: On the Axle Should I...
