Next time could you please use the manage attatchments section when posting a thread to add pictures instead of the way you did it? As for what type of kart, I have no idea.

I actually figured I was going to have to build on to the rear of it, I just didnt know where the bearings were suposed to go

Woops, you caught me, rear lenght is 20 inches. so a 48 inch rear axle? i might reuse the original rear wheels as they are keyed, but the fronts will be replaced because they actually go with boat trailer hubs (5 lug but not sure of the lug spacing). Although if it does come down to it...

Well i found were all the weight was coming from, it was that ****ed differential hanging off the back of this thing. I took some measurements and I am going to post them here (they are mostly for my benefit but if anyone has any comments then feel free). Full Kart Length - 61 inches Width -...

I have some before and after pictures from the work i did to my kart today. I am planning on stretching the passneger area back to make it longer, and making the rear area wider so I feel comfortable about running a solid live axle. Cutting off all that I did cut the weight down some, but...

fast cheap reliable, pick two

Was already planing on cutting out that loop and narrowing it down a little, I need to add a bar on my floor going from either side so I have something to weld it to other then the floor board (which needs to be replaced). Having a single straight shaft going to the rack will be hard unless I...

So its better to have engine before axle? I was thinking of stretching the passenger area so I could just move the axle back and mount the engine in front of it. It will definitely lighten up the chassis. With lightening it up you think I could get away with dumping the steering rack and just...

Ok, I need some criticism on my idea that I had. What I am thinking of doing is redesigning the rear of my cart to go from an offroad style to more of a solid/rigid design. Anything that is not level with the rest of the frame I will be cutting off. So I will be getting rid of the suspension...

Well this is my first experience building something so I will be asking a lot of questions. I have a 6.5 hp Honda clone that came with this, should I use that or look for a higher horse power motor.

Ok here are some more detailed pictures of the rear set-up

the rear axle is setup for independent rear suspension so there is a "rear end" (for lack of better wording) and two axles going out the the wheels. Yes those are u-joints you see, yes there is more holding the rear axle in place then just the suspension and the bars connecting to the frame...

dont worry about critising the cart, i mainly got it for the frame. I am going to redesign the entire thing, and I was planning on finding/using a honda vtwin, probably in the gx 600 family.

Hey everyone, I am new to karts and hope to have some fun on these little things. As it is right now I have 2 karts, an offroad cart and a racing cart neither of which have a motor. I was actually hoping someone would be able to tell me what kind of offroad kart I have (we think it is homemade...
