if i buy the Predator 7HP engine do i need a torque converter? the clutch i have listed is only rated for 5HP. actually do i put the torque converter on and then the clutch onto it?

i hope that you ride on top of the keg. that would be so much better.

thanks! i just changed the rear to live axle and im going to keep fat tires all around. i like em wide. i also have listed out all the parts i should need minus random nuts and bolts. and i changed the seat to a flat one. i just have no money atm...so production is pretty much limited to...

yeah when i said "the part of the axle that doesnt move" i probably should have rephrased that. but yeah that looks like what i will have to do...

well its not going to be a live axle setup, im going to use a dead axle since its going to be mainly driven on pavement. i read that dead axles are more recommended, because it live axles hinder turning because both wheels turn at the same speed. and the reason i said weld it, cause i have...

http://www.mfgsupply.com/az2530.html found where im probably going to get my brake supplies from. and when setting this up, i would bolt the drum to the hub, that way it spins with the wheel, and then i would weld the other part of the brake assembly to the part of the axle that doesnt move...

so i fixed some of the dimensions because the shopping cart dimensions were off. the black line is the outline of the cart, and the grey line is where im going to put a backing plate welded to where the handle is. without it i can fit in the cart, but i dont have the right angle on where i...

MK III so this is 10x8 rears & 8x6 fronts Diameter x Width http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3692/8914141001_7ff7ac3e51.jpg

Gearing - Yeah im still trying to figure out the best gearing, but having no experience with any of the engines, or gearing ratios i dont really know what type of ratio ill need to get what i want out of the engine. **edit and with a 10" (total) rear wheel i think a maybe a 12T/60T or 10T/60T...

is it just me or 10" wheels on this cart seem SUPER big. i think 6" diameter x 8" width + tires ending up at a 8" wheel. im not looking to go super fast. with a 5HP cart with a 14T - 60T gearing i should be able to get almost 20mph. which is pretty fast for shopping cart. although i might try...

MK II lengthened the front to accomodate for wider wheels (im going to do 10x8 all the way around. i like wide wheels) also removed some stuff that was confusing to the design. i will eventually do a cutaway version, but im lazy and its going to be a pain in the ***...

awesome thanks. that means i can get the wheels to scale in my drawing.

what diameter wheels are those? I'm new to karting and trying to build a custom one in the near future and i like those size wheels.

thanks! im trying to figure out what a good size wheel to use is.
