Bit of a "loose" question here, but roughly what are the dimensions of a go kart using an average racing frame? I'm thinking about building a kart frame from scratch but i've never actually seen one in real life to gauge it on? I know people will say build it to my needs but tbf - i dont know...

Hey guys started my project today. Got some rims and tires and i've started refurbing the wheels. I've decided to manage it with Blogger as i can post the link to friends so check it out here: http://fast-kart.blogspot.com/

Hey guys, before everyone says buy the right size i will eventually but im a bit strapped atm, just spent £160 on a new engine! I have some 185 wide wheels but i have a brand new pair of 165 slicks, i know car tires will stretch - any chance of these stretching? They dont feel like they can...

Is there anywhere i can get free plans/information about them? I've seen 3 builds on here recently and i'm really interested as they look like a good challenge for my first build? I'm mainly interested as to avoid using round tubing! Plus it looks like something that if i took my time on and...

Hi guys, i'm still planning my go kart and have been looking at mods i could do when im building it. The engine is a 156FMI chinese bike engine, or a Honda CG125 clone in other words. It's 10hp roughly as standard. I can get hold of a 150 kit (barrel, and a big valve head for use with the 150...

Right instead of keep making new questions, every time i come up with one i'll chuck it in here instead :thumbsup: So, my first couple! I'm using a car rev gauge for my project (Clicky!) and i want to install a fuse as per the wiring diagram but there is no mention of a rating? I was thinking...

Hi guys, how could i go about installing some front brakes on my go kart when i build it? I'm hoping to possibly make the UK's first road legal DIY go kart (i've not heard of another road legal on , i've seen some you can buy as road legal but no home builds), and i have to legally have brakes...

I came across a thread which said that to make an automotive tacho work, i needed to follow this guide (i've uploaded a text version to my site): Clicky But today i went out to see what it was reading and it seems to be reading perfect RPM? This is the gauge i have, Clicky! As i said it reads...

I want to have one on mine and im wondering how you did it? Mine has a sensor on the front wheel spindle of the donor bike, but i think my axle will be too big? So i was thinking using a rubber belt, have a seperate axle the right size off of the main axle, which can have the sensor on? Like...

Hi guys, complete noob here, i'm starting my first kart soon and will be ordering bits, i'm ordering a chop saw with angle cut, some set square magnets, etc etc. The next bit i will need to order is some box tubing (i'm going with square as it will be easier for me personally to weld). I can...

Heya guys, saw a couple of karts on youtube and suddenly decided i want a go at it! I have a spare 125cc which is just under 10BHP, it's a 4 stroke from a chinese motorbike i have but its based upon a Honda CG125 and the blocks only got 3000 odd miles on it! So who knows what lies around the...
