LOL that is going to be awesome. But, it does not have great balance and you are going to need at least 3 wheels. A small engine, you probobly wonteven need a 4hp. The simplest way to do this, would be to somehow attatch a front wheel (or two) to the front of it which can be done with some...

I have an old weedwhacker engine, too. I am going to turn it into a small generator so i can saw stuff and charge things wherever I want. You just get an old car alternator, connect it to the alternator via sprocket/chain, and then that to a DC/AC transformer. (if the DC/AC tranformers cost too...

Yes, a wire welder/ mig welder would do great, but why own a welder if your only going to use it during certain points of your projects? I am simply renting out a welder for abut 30 bucks for the whole day. And also i would get a grinder, an electric hack saw or metal cutter, a vice, some...

I think it looks kool and has a good setup, but ive dealt with soemthing liek this in the past and it can be very unstable. When i was younger, me and my frined baught a sooter-like thing that had two wheels in the front and on in the back, and when i turned it, pressure would shift very fast...

That is a sweet-*** kart in the link you showed. I didnt ead carefully, id idnt realize you had liscences. And in that cse, im pretty sure tham making a street legal kart isjust a matter of taking it in to get a liscence plate, make sure it as setbelts, windshield wipers, rier-view-mirrors, etc...

Oh and one other tip, you should get off-road wheels. Not the super off road ones like the shark wheels or whatever but some knobby tires do the trick nicely. You should get knobby because street tires are made for only street, and cant take any gravel, either so your screwed unless on smoothe...

I am actually currently building the tarantula from spidercarts. Ive already dropped of 1500 bucks, so im not sure if you want to do that depending on how much your willing to spend. But im not following the plans exactly, I gues you could say i like to "challenge the system" too, as i'm also...

Awesome thanks that just cut about $10 off my seat costs

I also wanted to know where you got your seat from, because i prefer that seat to a bucket seat but i cant seam to find one like that that comes with the mounting kit or whatever you need to put it on your cart.

Man this is a monster! im building one from the same website called the tarantula and i thought i would be rolling with style with an 8hp engine (instead of 6.5) and 18" wheels but 25" wheels and a 16hp? Thats just huge

How big are the wheels?

New pics new pics!

I had the same idea. It is possible, but you would probbly have to get a big space-taking transmition box. What i did is just get a small differential/gear box that you can find online easily. Its what Fowler was saying, its just the f/n/r gearing but its still pretty kool and its always nice...

Alright well thanks

No i mean is there a way i can buy a speedometer with a hand and just attach it to my kart
