Can you please sugest what materials might be better in depth? I want something strong and light. I dont wanna weld aluminum. I wont go the drilling holes route then. I will reduce weight in other areas that doesnt sacrifice strucutural entegrity.

Im not going to drill holes in the frame willy nilly. Just a few. Whatever I can do to reduce weight. Im not going to ruin the structural entegrity of the frame, dont worry fellows!

Ok cool! Thanks, this is good news. I plan on drilling holes in the channel steel that I'm using for the frame. Should reduce weight a bit, and Ill do some other stuff also. I''ll be sure to get the genuine comet too.

Hi everyone. I am building a cycle car, basically a larger version of a cycle kart. I have a question about gearing and engine choices. My plan is to use a 16-20hp twin cylinder engine, unmodified, with a torque converter, and with a gear ratio of 6:1. I am using 22'' diameter tires. The car...

WoW! That looks awsome. That hood ordiment is really cool, thats whats cool about cycle karts is you can add little details like that. You did an awsome job on her! What are the springs rated? Do you know?

Well I got the pillow blocks to just slide right on! No effort at all, they fit perfect, not to tight, not to loose. I bought the axle from northern tool, they put alot of paint on there, well its better than rust. Anyway I used 120 sand paper haha...because I had some layin around. thanks guys

They painted the axle, so Im going to sand off the paint and see if it works, also grease it too.

The pillow block is smaller than the shaft. Im going to measure it with calipers later just to see how smaller it is than the shaft. They bearily fit on to the shaft. They're super tight though.

Hey Guys. I feel kinda stupid asking this question, but here goes: I have a 1'' go kart axle that I purchased and 1'' pillow blocks. The axle will not fit in the pillow blocks. Would a 1 1/16'' pillow block work? Should have thought this through before I ordered parts. This is my first kart that...

Ok my friend brought his kart to my house and thought it would be a good idea to tie a rope on the back for my buddy to ride his bike behind. I watched this all happen from the end of the street: My buddy on the bike ate it and is getting dragged on his bike while the kart is spinning out of...

This thing is sick! I love the look of it! I live in the Quad Cities area haha. Looks like all we have in the midwest is cornfields to ride stuff on :P

Heck yeah I am. Have been for a year!

Hows this project coming along? I am going to start building one of these this summer. I am going to use northern tool trailer wheels, and a honda cb175 engine. I am too going to do a sheet metal body. I want to drive it on the back country roads where I live. I have to save up enough money...

Thank you. If worse comes to worse I'll have to see if I could get it shipped down here. Maybe even similar parts are down here. Nice Idea!

Toy Story, No sadly I am not, Im in Illinois. Would it be possible to do it in the Illinois? Or the states?

Hello Everyone I am new to the forum. I have a question about a hub assembley for a trailer wheel from northern tool. I want to mount a trailer wheel with a 5-bolt, 4 1/2'' bolt circle onto a 1'' live axle with a 1/4'' key. The hubs for the wheel are not keyed, so it won't mount. So what should...
