    Finally finished!

    Been working on this for a couple of years. Just got it all the way done and my son is really enjoying riding around the neighborhood. The joining link on the chain has broken a couple of times so any ideas on what might be causing that are appreciated. Everything seems to be properly aligned...

    Chain keeps breaking!

    Recently finished a kart for my son. Everything's working great but the chain keeps breaking right where the link with the clip joins the two ends of the chain. Nor sure if the clip is coming off or the that joining link is just failing. Everything seems to be in proper alignment and I have...

    Greetings!

    Been wanting to build a kart for my son for a while and now he's big enough to drive one. I found this frame on facebook and have started acquiring parts. I have not built something like this before so I'm sure I'll have some questions. I'm doing something unconventional and using an AC...

    Front Swing Arm Questions

    Just ordered a set of swing arms for the kart I'm building my son. Two questions: 1. Shouldn't the arms be a mirror image to each other (a left and right) instead of identical? One arm of the A is longer and one is shorter and they are both on the same side when viewed from above. Should not...
