I've seen low cost "tube benders" on eBay. Here's one http://www.ebay.com/itm/3JD2-Model-3-Bender-Tube-Pipe-upgradeable-to-hydraulic-/272453885808?hash=item3f6f845f70:g:FaYAAOSwbdpWY02d It looks like a single die costs nearly as much as the bender. ...and it looks like you need different...

Well, My little Desteny was rackin' up some drive time on her kart over this nice fall weekend & (I think) overheated the motor. She was krusin' along fine & it just stopped. I checked everything & found the motor not spinning freely. I removed the motor & disassembled it. It seems like the...

This kart will run on dual 36V 500W DC motors. :2guns: NO steering wheel, handle bars or rudder of any kind. Individual (left & right) hand controls for steering, acceleration & braking. :thumbsup: Chancer is worried that the battery's for this cart are gonna be heavy. So lets try to...

Wow! This is different & Kool! :2guns: https://toledo.craigslist.org/snw/5837044097.html *Someone post a pic before it's gone. Anyone know anything about these?

I hauled a couple of Kool pieces of machinery for the U.S. National Guard a couple of days ago. :thumbsup: If you thought going thru airport security is difficult try getting on an air force base. :ack2: These pieces are getting refurbished & repainted. Mobile light for working on planes...

We have been having problems with Desteny's kart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTRA1FXz9Lw We got it out a few days ago & it wouldn't do anything. The power switch was on so, I think she forgot to turn it off the last time we ran it. I assumed the batterys were completely drained. So, I...

I found a Razor E100. Twist throttle was broken, speed controller was fried & the batteries were toast. It looks like the throttle got broken & someone tried to rig it up & shorted everything. I figured I would see if I could get it going on the cheap for my kids to play around on. (I have...

This looks Kool! :thumbsup: https://toledo.craigslist.org/mcy/5766905697.html Check out the kick start. The fuel tank kinda gives it a military look. :2guns:

It's probably been covered before but, I'll ask anyway. 1. What are the pros & cons of using a live axle on a kart? 2. What are the pros & cons of using a differential? :cornut:

While doing research on electrical go kart's on this forum (man this thing is packed with great info!) I noticed a lot of discussion about using automotive starter motors on karts. I remembered that I also played with that concept about 10 years ago. It took me a minute to dig up the old 35 mm...

The PTO (power take off) on my truck (which operates hydraulics to the flatbed) went out. The PTO itself is OK but, the electrical engagement system (what turns it on & off) was well past its prime. It was so old & obsolete that parts were no longer available. A new electrical system was...

I found this on CL over the weekend. It seems well built. I am not sure if it's factory or homebuilt. It has a lot of grease fittings, so it could be a little of both. The front axle is bolted on with u-bolts & is super HD. The steering is run thru a pillow block & WOW! Check out the...

Hello, I am working on a manco Dingo kart. I have the frame & roll bars (2 piece) but, not the side bars from the roll bar forward. Anyone have or can get specs & pics of this bar & the front connector plate so I can make one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lOHKiVTC_o

I am working on a Cart (El Dingo) with a Manta motor #5655 permanent magnet motor. (advertised as 10 HP / 8000 watts) I made a simple (contact) controller based on a diagram in the ad I bought the motor from to control this motor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7q2Lq0P604 It bench tested...

Hello All, I would like to enter "ElDingo" my 2016 project in your contest. It is an old Dingo by Manco that I am in the process of rebuilding and converting to electric. I didn't know about this forum but, I have been documenting the build or rebuild on Youtube. Check out my...
