    kart nearly done

    That looks pretty nice!:thumbsup: Can you post some close detail pictures of it? I would also want to ask how much degrees camber you made it? I am trying to figure out right camber angle for single A-arm setup and I will be glad if you could share some info.

    homemade gas tank

    Yes. What I mean is if you don't have problem with the look you can leave it that way. There will be no harm if welds are not smooth.

    homemade gas tank

    One question- Is it necessary that you grind off the welds? I think they wont be a problem as long as it is not leaking. Just put some primer or paint so they do not rust and use it that way. Am I wrong?

    A sign of how far we have come?

    Even though I have no actual experience with this site I had with one which looks pretty similar called Alibaba.com Both sites look almost the same and have similar listings. The problem is that I had the worst internet purchasing experience in the site I mentioned. I found out the hard way that...

    Hey that looks nice. Can you upload larger and more detailed pictures of it after you have bought it. I will be glad to see more indept view because I have a similar construction in my mind so I can compare it to that and figure out some issues I met with my design. Thanks, Kristian.

    Free Kart Plans...Not Illegal!

    I may be retarded but I can't figure out how to get them even when they are free. Any help? I downloaded the free sample .pdf but I don't know how to get these.

    Here are two examples of possible construction of the suspension. In the second picture I made it so the camber can be adjustable. I'm not sure it will be sturdy enough but it can be adjusted. The other alternative the camber will be fixed and I think that the inner side of the tires will wear more.

    Thank you for the info and if I got you right you mean that the tie rods must be parallel to the A arms, right? So they will travel in the same way when suspention works. That's one pretty nice looking kart. I like the construction and the paint you chose but I cannot understand why you use...

    One part because I'm not really familiar with single A arm setup. I think that when single A arms are used the bracket for the spindle is welded onto the A arm right? And it stays on it at a particular angle but when the A arm moves up and down the wheel will tilt from being straight up to the...

    Can you suggest thickness? I am asking because I saw measures in another thread but they were in gauges? (don't know that) So I will be glad if you can tell me in mm (milimetres) that would be best. Thank you in advance! Now I am thinking on a version of the kart with front suspention and the...
