    New Members List

    A tracker of sorts for all our new members. We get more than a few per week but it seems many are silent, never post and probably just joined up for access to the rather massive searchable database here, the full features of membership and to see the photos in all their full-size glory. Perhaps...

    FULL-SPEED Downhill Mountain Karts

    I thought, "karts, oh cool" but these are trikes or maybe even "carts" with a c as the label on the fork tells us they are. Question: would these be better or worse with four wheels instead of three? Seems the trike configuration is ideal for overtaking as it is easier to get the front wheel...

    ...in the classic sense of the word. Single seat karts with no brush guards/roll cages, and at a lower price point than the average two passenger China ATV-buggy with lights, mirrors, horns and turn signals.

    Go Kart made from a Hand Truck (dolly)

    Ran across this on that vast wasteland known as U-tub. Never thought a Hazard Fraught dolly would make a viable kart frame. This guy welds well[?] but his hasty assembly-for-video-process leaves a lot to be desired. His painting skills and painting prep are well below-par as his "freaking...
