I think a live axle. That's where it is one wheel drive and the others spin freely right? If that will work that's what I will do.

I just have the wheels, not the brakes. How much are hydraulic brakes?

Thanks, I think that will work! Also, do like normal bike brakes work, like not the disc brakes the other type that squeezes the wheel?

Can you explain the drum and how I would attach it? Sorry! All I know are disc brakes. I also don't want the scrub because I am hoping for it to go fast; and aren't they horrible on your tires? Thanks

I'm making a custom go kart with scraps from other tools and vehicles. I'm almost done now but I don't know the best and cheapest brake solution. The front tires are off of a snow blower, they are solid rubber with spokes. They look like this...

No the engines a predator I think, there are quite a few mods to it so I don't actually know anymore. I will once I have pictures of it, and when I know the mileage.

400+ mpg yes, we test it on monday and tuesday

I've been working all year on a high mileage car in school so yes. I'm quite proficent with a cnc mill, cnc lathe, and plasma cutter too. I just have not done anything specific with the stock engine and gear ratio. The drive wheel on our car is a bike wheel with a polycarb sprocket screwed in...

:roflol::huh:

Can you help me with something else then? So if I want to mount the sprocket to the wheel what do I do? like what does the hub connected to the wheel do with the sprocket, and how does this stay on the axle?
