Sounds to me like they tried to go live axle and use clamps. You need two, maybe three pillow block bearings, measure the axle diameter and make sure you get the right size, mount the pillow blocks in place of those clamps, and cut two tubes to evenly space the wheels that will fit over the axle...

If it is the redfox 2 these the factory weld locations, as said above yours has been modified at some point, for some reason. If it is still a dead axle (only engine side wheel powered) and the tube is sliding through those clamp things, tighten them down to hold the axle tube as tight as...

Missing sleeves would also contribute to your chain being thrown, if the sprocket is tight on the axle but the axle slides out of alignment it is taking the sprocket side to side as well throwing the chain out of alignment.

Your kart looks almost identical to my daughters Manco redfox 2, but modified for a live axle, I thought it was a dead axle by the engine position. In that case your welds are likely fine if the engine plate isn't cracked as I worried earlier, but you are probably missing some spacer sleeves...

Is that a bearing housing bolted on to the left of your hand?

I fear your weld are busted loose somewhere!

This one goes side to side?!?!?!

Are you referring to the rear bar of the frame? Its connected on the underside and the main frame on the sides if that is what you are asking about, and it's just fine if all the bolts are in the frame and tight.

Figured since it's been brought up in other threads I'd show you guys my hold up on building the trike. 7 motorcycles are currently occupying my single car garage awaiting my 10'x16' shed which will be the moto garage. Still got the trike and she's in the shed safe from the elements probably...

Congrats on the win!

Bumping post.

🤦‍♂️

Issue is, it's a one wheel peel and a t/c wont fit without modifications. I had one just like it and a cc is the only option with factory setup. Plus, O.P. hasn't been around in a month, maybe didnt want the help so bad after all.

Thanks guys. Not sure if I'll finish the trike this time around, mainly because I need to purchase a few things and all my money went into that black steel stallion. I'll be working on it still, but may not have a finished build till next build off.

You guy like what I've gotten done with it? 🤣🤣 Just playin, picked this up a few days ago and naturally want to show it off.

Harbor freight has them for around $100

Where are you located? I have a gy6 with reverse I'd sell, or I have several yard karts I could swap for it if you are remotely close

I like that! Nicely fits the look when I think of a bobber.

That should work just fine. Get it cleaned up and wrapped, then time to move along.
