My tool box and expertise are quite small, I am sorry to say lol. But my father in law teaches autoshop at a local high school, so I get loads of work done gratis. Talked to the guy selling the kart and he said he thinks the CVT or forward/reverse gearbox is trashed. But I know these karts had...

So, I have the opportunity to pick up a used Baja Reaction 150 buggy-style kart relatively cheaply. My issue is that I've read a lot about the crappy engine/drivetrain in this thing. Seeing as I have a Honda TRX300 quad engine and tranny sitting in my garage, I'm kind of thinking of doing some...

I've actually gotten quite good at Google Sketchup in the last 2 weeks. Here is my frame design. I don't have the suspension mocked up yet. Going to do dual chain driven trailing arms on the rear and the atv original a-arms in the front. I've given up on aluminum though. I think I'll hock all...

Just read these forums man. Use the search function to find information about what you're looking for.

Started tearing apart the Fourtrax. Still trying to decide how to mount the engine on the back of the buggy while making use of the existing transmission. I could mount it sideways, but its like 18" wide which is causing me misgivings. If I remove the shaft drive and mount a sprocket on the rear...

Still mainly brainstorming at this point, but I have a question as to how to gear this thing. We're going to mount a sprocket instead of using the shaft drive, and will most likely have a jack shaft between the transmission and the rear axle. My question is gearing. Since it already has a 5...

Hey guys. Been trolling this forum for about a week now for ideas and such. My wife of all people has said she'd like a two seater for us to bomb around on, so I'm running with it before she changes her mind. I found a running Honda Fourtrax 300 at a local scrap yard, just missing the...
