Thinking of using these bearings for the rear axle and jackshaft. Let me know what you guys think

Been lurking for a little while trying to put together the knowledge for a kart build of my own. I've decided to begin building a 2 seat kart for my boys. They're just little guys (aged 4 and 1.5) so it will be sized for the 4 year old to operate it. I'll build in some room for growth until...

Thought I'd share my Kart from when I was a kid. I bought it from a friend who'd outgrown it. It's now waiting for my boys to get big enough to drive it. It's a Rupp, but I don't know anything beyond that. Maybe some of you experts can chime in on some details. I couldn't tell you how many...

I've seen a bunch of karts here running the double a-arm front suspensions. I think that's the way I'm going to go as well. From what I can tell, they seem to all run 0 caster. Is this pretty normal. My kart is going to be low speed...15mph, and tall-ish tires. Maybe I'm just over thinking...

I've been thinking about a suspension for a kart for a small chlid. My son is 4.5 and he's pretty light, about 35lbs. My idea is a offroad style kart with front suspension. My concern is that he's so light and the kart would be small in size, so there wouldn't be enough weight to compress the...

Had an idea for a 2 seater for my kids. Want them to be able to use it year round. My idea is to be able to swap the front wheels with snowmobile skis and put some kind of studed tire on the rear. Anybody seen this before? Wondering if the steering effort will be too much with the ski vs...

Joined the forum because I'm going to build a little kart for my son to tear around the yard. Next summer he'll be 3 and it's time to learn to drive. I'm planning on a two seater for him and a friend. I'm thinking electric. I've got my old Rupp kart for when he's old enough for more speed...
