@firemanjim Congratulations, my friend! All I need to do is haul the cart out of the woods, and it's as good as mine! Still waiting on the go kart chassis and 370cc engine/CVT to arrive, though... And would this steering rack work...

The steering rack is just an older one of these: https://www.shopezgo.com/products/Steering-Box-Assembly.html?product_id=2152 The arachnid plans also arrived today! Should be able to modify the plans a little to fit with the existing chassis and engine/tranny mount. Also, the afforementioned...

I'm also now wondering about the best way to use the steering rack from said golf cart...

Well, I can send you all four leafs if I can actally have the cart! I'll know if I can get it at around 8:00 am tomorrow (9/26)! For springs that have been out in the weather for the better part of 5 years, there's only a tiny amount of surface rust...

Oh, I WILL be taking the whole shebang if I can get my hands on it! I'm going to scavenge any and everything useful on it, then return the body, steering wheel, steering column, seat, and chassis.

Good news, everyone! There's a junk golf cart JUST across the street from the school! The shocks are good, the steering rack is good, wheels, tires, also good... Heck, all it's missing is the ignition and coil springs! If it's at all possible, I could even scavenge the starter motor, and quite...

But budget IS... Tire + wheel budget is around $200-$450.

The tires I WANT to use have a very similar tread pattern to these: http://www.motosport.com/atv/Kenda-Pathfinder-Rear-Tire http://www.motosport.com/atv/Kenda-Pathfinder-Front-Tire

Going to need some wheels and tires, too... But, rear axle is good to go. Just need swingarm, front suspension, shocks, hubs, cables/linkages, a fuel tank, replacement seat, a cage/shock mounting plates, a coat of paint, and perhaps some better pedals.

Skis are on their own, no sled attatched... BUT! I DO now have a chassis AND 370cc snowmobile engine that runs! All I need to do is get the suspension on it, and I ordered some "Arachnid" plans for that.

A few more questions about the kart, then I will actually start the design process. 1. Swingarm mounted engine, or frame mounted? 2. CVT, manual, direct drive, or semi-automatic? 3. Steering wheel or handle bars? 4. Ski attachment for winter (have 2 junk skis off an old snowmobile...

Well, budget has more than trippled (shop teacher said he'd pitch in if he could drive it)! So, now I have a few questions about actually building it: 1. Is it easier to build or buy suspension components (arms, swing arm, etc.)? And is it the same in regards to the frame? 2. Carbeurated or...

It would be for both carts. I already know where I can get a couple of seats, MAYBE some basic suspension components (arms, spindles, etc.), and possibly an engine/tranny combo... If all else fails on building the frame itself, then we may just end up building a full-on buggy by taking a small...

Hello, all! This is my first post on the forum. A friend and I are planning on building an offroad go kart or two in our metals class. We know what we want, but our budget is small, at less than $350 for everything. We were thinking of fully independant suspension, but I'm thinking a swingarm...
