This is a build I want to see going. and its great to see another Aussie mate! :)

I have spent a month going through plans. And would you be able to dig up those pictures? that would be a great help.

I am using these plans, because the rectangular chassis I first drew out on my shed floor wasn't acquitted for my needs. so I am wanting to know, would this design be good? or are there better plans out there?

The one I came up with didn't suit my steering set ups and It's just better to base it off a race frame as thats what all my parts suit

I already have engine, Clutch axle wheels. steering shaft with wheel and boss, front spindles, front wheels, tie-rods, seat and I am a confident welder. what else do I need to buy? I am using a full crank Victa lawnmower engine. Like in the previous posts. I got a frame drawn out on my shed...

This might help you.. its a free plan. so I hope i'm doing nothing illegal. http://www.cutpriceracing.com.au/Docs/RaceKart_Plan.pdf

I'm still searching through free online plans, where I found these plans. They are some of the best and most detailed plans I have come across. you can down load them here: http://www.cutpriceracing.com.au/store/Free-Racing-Go-Kart-Plans/ Some Aussies on here might be familiar with the Website...

the rain really has set in around home. 2 inches of rain over the weekend. no fox shooting for me. :mad:

Any chance of you being able to send one of these overseas? I'm in Australia mate.

If you are looking to have a centrifugal clutch with a shaft adapter I would recommend just buying one from GA spares from your local mower shop, my work bought it for $26? Roughly. You might pay through your nose for one if you can't get it for mates rates. But saying that I do like to buy...

maths aren't my strong point... but thank you anyway. :lolgoku:

nice work mate, where do you drive your trike?

I don't look at my tread for three days, and this happens. anyway.. thanks for the math/science lession :lolgoku:

Nice job on your trike mate! I have a go kart live axle on mine, and I cannot keep it in a straight line! you will love it when you get it to the stage when it will throw twins not just a single peg. And how many HP is your engine? I have a honda GX140 and its pretty gutless. I'm keen to get...

I believe it might be, I have sat in a comfortable position and drew from there. it just so happened to end up 1,500mm. should I rethink this before I start? I don't want to get to the end of the build and go to ride it and realise I'm too big for it. :oops:

as I understand it, torque is shown as acceleration and horsepower is your top speed as it is measured how fast you can achieve with your max RPM. As a great person said, under steer is when you hit the wall with the front of your kart. over steer is when you hit the wall with the back of the...

even if i was to stand up the engine i would have to make an adapter. but since the chainsaw card doesn't have a float and uses a pump to scavenge fuel, so it can be mounted anywhere at any point. also, the pull starter for the engine is on the bottom of the engine so i either have to mount it...

Right! I now have finished what I believe I will need to build my own Victa powered go kart. my kart so far, just a chalk drawing with a seat, wheels, steering wheels and engine (engine is sitting around the wrong way i know, I don't have a rattle gun on hand to undo the rusty engine studs...

To answer some questions and dig up my own thread. the pedals free wheel, just like all new bikes the pedals don't turn when I ride forward. also, the reason I cut up the frame was it has been shortened for someone around 5' tall and I'm 6-6'1 so I didn't fit at all. the frame was very dodgy...
