looks like some sort of oval race cart. the offset seat and motor placement. I know when I used to run those you could strip it to bare frame and get 100-200 bucks for it from someone starting out in the sport looking to get in cheap or to make a home dirt oval track that motor is probably built...

just throwing an idea out there. I love to create out of the box things and I have never seen this before. I guess there are a couple ways of achieving this. four motors all four corners on dead axles - two motors one front one rear with live cv axles or a differential. maybe im crazy or maybe...

im trying to figure out how I want to mount the sheet metal for the floor pan on the Kart. im torn on if I should flip the cart over and drill holes where the frame rails are and rivet it to the frame. or should I attempt to weld it to the frame. placing it on the bottom and welding the 90...

yes you have it now! this is exactly what I was describing. the upper frame ties into the ten inch tall piece for frame strength and the shocks mount exactly where you have them with two small brackets off of each side. this will work perfect.

Please forgive the cave man sketch but I had to show not tell:lolgoku:

ok I see what you have planned. I still do not think that this T setup will be sufficient structurally. what is to keep the t support from getting bent side to side if you are on uneven terrain. ie pulling into an uneven driveway or something. there are many ways to achieve what you desire. if...

just wondering if that upper rail will tie in to the main beam at the front of the cart in the picture it looks as if it does not and you will need to for structural integrity. just an idea you could stack the main beam just in the front and weld together then tie the top to that and also would...

I second this design by jeeper the rear flex will be exponentially less as well as more stable. the original would either bend axles with ease, or crack rear welds/ bend engine mounting plate.:iagree:

Whipped up a cool little steering wheel for the kart and mounted steering shaft started making pedals. I thing it's starting to come together pretty well

yes I actually like the little welder, I have used Lincoln forever but for small stuff this is the little welder that could haha if its set up right.

Not much has been done just going through some mock up ideas and placement, but I did add some hand holds/kid holder inners! Haha don't dis on my red neck pipe bending skills I used a tree in the yard so I think it turned out great with that being said:popcorn:
