Got it almost all in a few coats of rattle can primer

Yeah I noped right out of the big boy tires 😂

I was going to go with 18’s but then they are twice as much per tire and almost the same on rims. 15 was the largest I could find for 6” rim so going most cost effective since I’m having to buy new. At least I will have the torque converter so I could always go larger in the future but my goal...

Excellent! Hopefully ordering some later today then!

I really didn’t think the biggest headache of the project so far would be figuring out a tire situation cheaply but it has been. At the moment (this has changed a dozen times) I’m planning on 15x5.5-6 for the rear and then running the 4.10x8 on the front until I can get another set. My issue...

I do, and she hasn’t 😂🤣 and as always with everything I come home with it needs a little more love than anticipated. I also told her I didn’t mind with it being a long term project as I have already waited this long, and it is a big tube frame so I feel like I have more possibilities

That might lead to marriage problems 😂🤣 she originally thought I was bringing home a running go kart. When I said it needed a seat, motor, wheels etc she was even more unhappy. Hopefully she continues to see my happiness before the junk 😂🤣

It wasn’t as pretty in person as the pics made it seem, but I couldn’t go home without it. He even took $40 less and threw in a seat and a pair of older rear tires. Nothing special but just excited to have another project!

Just sold my dirt bike project to fund my frame purchase tomorrow. The dirt bike was actually originally purchased to pull the motor for a kart but it was a little bit too nice for me to do it since there are a million already chopped up. I’ll post pics tm after I pick it up as long as they...

I started welding in another longer bracket/support for the pillow blocks so I can re adjust where I was putting things and get a rod for the brake so I’m not going into moms car like Denny said lmao

I’ll stick with the 6:1 because I already have the axel sprocket and I’m gunna end up just buying a torque converter so I don’t have to deal with it once I get it going for them so I’ll stick with the 10 tooth on that!

Anyone have experience with these split rims from bmi karts?

Okay great. Thank you

We have enough space that it could be driven wide open, and I could build them a track if they actually get into it. I don’t mind going to the torque converter, just hoping to still use the 13” tires with the 6:1? Or would I go with a 12 tooth torque converter?

So if I went with a torque converter, could I stay with the 60 tooth sprocket and 13” tires? I can get 13” tires and rims for less than just rims for the 16” tires and they are 6.5 wide and can only find a 7” rim.

Sounds like I need to start planning my track!!!

What size tires? If I have to buy some 10” ones I will, was just trying to use what I had. Would probably be cheaper to use the tires I have and get a torque converter

It will be used wherever the kids dare take it. We have a decent driveway and yard for them to putt around in but we also have a lot of woods. I already have the clutch, so was trying to make do with what I had at the moment

I thought the rename was appropriate 😂🤣 just a stock predator 212

I have some 16” tires I could use but then I would have to regear? Just planning on using the centrifugal clutch at the moment. Might upgrade in the future but not enough funds with everything I want to do along with hopefully picking up a new kart chassis this weekend
