i'm having trouble finding metal, could you go to the local hardware store like jerry's or home depot.

stops the clutch, that will wear out the clutch. what you should do is add band brake, they are cheap, easy to install and has good braking ability. If your going to upgrade to the 12 hp you might want to buy a disk brake or a drum brake

I know that disk brakes are the best, but i want to know the stopping power of a band brake. would it be good for speeds up to 30 mph

if that is independent suspension it wouldn't really matter but the middle one will make it alot easier when puting in the u joints or cv joints

It can be done but you have to have the center of the swing arm hinge in line with the center of the jack shaft And with independent it can go over each little bump. with swing arm if one side gets bumped the whole back side goes up, unless your going 5 mph you won't really notice it

that is called bump steer, sometimes they break most of the time they bend. but the best way is on the pitman arm is to have the tie rod end at a vertical pivot and angled the same direction as the a arms or the free suspension thingy. the easiest and the best way to insure this is just to go...

on the guide it says to have it at a 105 degree angle. would it really matter what the angle it is as long as the tie rods are the correct length and adjustable. Because looking at the pics it doesn't look like there is much room for the outside tire to turn

you can play with it or put bearings on it. but you have to make sure you don't have too much bumpsteer or the tie rods will break. The best way to go, if you have the money is to buy a rack and pinion set up it is quick and eliminates all bump steer...

that's why i'm asking, i dont want to get 8 or 10 inch tires and the tire be huge.

so about 4 more inches are added to wheel diamiter. I'm going to use knobby tires for an off road go kart

so what i'm looking for here is a castor angle, right? and what does the camber angle do

i've heard the size of the tire is different with it pumped up, is this true. so if i had 6" tire with it all pumped up with air would the diamiter be bigger. if so is there like a calculation thingy that will figure out the final diamiter

is there also a way of doing this with out a steering set up from a car

what, is that from the behind view or the side view

would a geo be good

i'm a little confused, when tilting the spindles do you tilt it to the side or back towards the back wheels, here i s a pic to help you see what i'm saying

well i'm making an offroad go kart with full suspensions. on the front are double a arms. well the problem is when the suspension go up and will make the steering rods up with it, if not set up right they will bend or even break. how do i avoid this

thanks you really helped

really, cool saves time for me. just tilt the spindles about 10 degrees or more or less

i would like a steering system that just reset itself. i've heard you can just use ones out of small cars. would this work
