    Designing a go kart

    Hello folks, after a brief discussion on here whether or not to buy a rolling chassis or build my own go kart, I've gone with building my own. It's going to be an offroad/street go kart, where I can just swap wheels, and sprockets out and be good to go until I can build a street go kart. I'll be...

    Where I live, you can't find carcasses. I've searched Craigslist, offer up, facebook, everyone wants too much for em or they're too far away. I've considered building my own out of squart tubing, it would be an off road type, so I'm a little worried about the weight being a little heavy, I...

    Here's a go kart my buddy has, don't know the brand of the kart or engine. It looks near identical to the go kart I used to have and it was a Dingo by Manco. I offer a 100 bucks on it but haven't heard back yet. Plans are to strip it down, add a front suspension, rear suspension, and lengthen...

    Would you go with a torque converter instead? It would handle the stop and go easier than a clutch

    Bob, I'm pretty hands on type of person. I took an 1996 Harley sportster and rebuilt it and painted it, and I've never rode a motorcycle in my life. I have the tools, bandsaw, welders, cutting torch and the wrenches. Fabrication skills I'm decent with. Qtband, I've been searching. A buddy of...

    Baja doodlebug

    A buddy of mine bought a baja doodlebug at a garage sale for 25 bucks, it was in decent shape and I figure it was a **** of a bargain. Anyhow, he had me get it running and check things over. We both rode it and come to the conclusion it needs more power, so he's going to get a predator 212 and...

    Hey folks, I had a go cart for about 7 years then I got rid of it mainly because I was too big and it was slow. Anyhow, I'm looking to get back into one. I was curious, would it be better for me to build my own go cart, out of square tubing is what I'll use, or to buy a frame off someone and...
