    Frankenstein kart/Not the original!

    Currently 4 boys and 1 little girl so am most definitely going to be starting a fleet! My wife wants to move and one condition was that there would be enough room for a track right by the house and she agreed so starting to plan that as well! So many options, hopefully I’ll still be in this site...

    Frankenstein kart/Not the original!

    This is my people interaction since I’m home with the kids all day lol, and they usually make it 10x harder at least 😂 at least they are getting older and can help with their younger siblings! We try to have fun, stuck way out here gotta have something to do. Got lots of animals to stay busy...

    Frankenstein kart/Not the original!

    We have it in the plans to do so but didn’t have one at the moment and wasn’t going to not let them take it for a test ride. And they will absolutely most definitely flip it eventually. They are triplets so everything they do is 100x harder than most 😂 Don’t worry, I didn’t take it in any wrong...

    Frankenstein kart/Not the original!

    All the boys took a few test drives tonight and loved it. It turns like crap, stops like crap, and isn’t nearly as fast as I thought (which is a plus after the first 2) but I’m sure they will beat the ever loving crap out of it time and time again. Running to tractor supply in the am to grab a...

    Frankenstein kart/Not the original!

    Torque convertor and rear rims came today. Rear tires come Thursday. Need to order some axel collars and brake rod and once I get TC mounted I need to build a base plate to raise it a few inches because of pillow block bolts.

    Tires

    Also just so I’m clear since this was a thread about tires for the kids kart, I was talking about mine. I bought new for the boys as well so I didn’t have to worry. But gunna go with 11.5x8.5-6 rears and 11x6-6 fronts

    Tires

    I was for the back, and I guess now I am for the front but I can’t find what I want in a 12” tire so I have to go to 11” which I’m not excited for

    Tires

    Little bit of everything. Just saw some tires that were stretched 2” more on a drift kart and not my style. Hoping the 1” stretch isn’t bad and then just gunna do the slicks to start since I can get 2 for the price of 1

    Tires

    Maybe I’ll start with the 5 wide on 6 wide rims and see how it goes first as I already have those tires. I wanted turf tires for the back but can only find slicks in the width I want so might end up doing turf in the front and slicks in the back to get it moving

    Tires

    Great, I’ll have to see if I can find it. A 6.5 wide tire is $36, an 8 wide is $95 and of course I bought 8.5 wide

    Tires

    What is the most you can stretch a mower tire for rim? 5” wide tire okay on 6” wide rim? I’m figuring a 6.5 wide tire is too narrow for an 8.5 rim but wondering if anybody has tried?

    02 Ultramax Blaze Project

    It is in fact all it will be used for, sometimes I get carried away. Thank you for the confidence boost, I think you are absolutely correct and going to try and get them squared away tonight and see how it comes out! This forum is the best site I have ever found lol

    Yes it is, I like that it is the larger tube diameter and the front is completely adjustable

    02 Ultramax Blaze Project

    So I figured I mine as well start a new thread for this one since I have been all over the place in my posts. Currently realizing they also moved the brake master locating spot as well as the gas pedal linkage mounting spot. They also moved the pedal mounting spots which was dumb because they...

    Addiction

    So iv been tearing down the new kart trying to decide what to do with it. Having to go a little further than planned because it has seen some abuse but it turns out to be an 02 so probably expected. I think the front end is a little tweaked so trying to figure out what to do there but then my...

    Franken buggy is getting paint

    Looks great! The blue really pops with the raw mesh. And sometimes you gotta only worry about the important ones opinions! (Grandkids or kids in my case)
