Looks good big rob. Obviously it's comfortable off pavement. How much HP?

Cut up an old set of skis and mount them in place of your front wheels. Find an old set of chains from a lawnmower and mount them on the rear tires. Guys with steep lawns use them for mowing. Maybe a set of strap on rubber,cable or rope emergency chains. Go red neck and wrap rope around the tire...

Dingo finished Final assembly photos of the completed Dingo. Just have to install chain and belt and then a test drive.

Welcome big rob. Good to have some more Cdn. content. Bring on the old pics.

You might want to check out www.casterland.com for all you Canadian guys. They have a good selection of wheels, wheel hubs and tires in stock. got my front tires for the Dingo there at $ 26.00 ea. Good online catalogue with pricing that appears more reasonable than PA.

trikes Here ya' go. Two old farts sitting on their trikes in the shade watching cars go by. Actually, not a bad idea for when I'm really old and can't ride a two wheeler anymore, hmmm... (two home builts, one hand powered,one foot powered)

Got to get the front wheels on and finish all the small stuff to get some more side shot pics. Shop is kind of narrow for side viewing.

Thanks tyler, yes it may look funny but then i'm only a big kid at heart anyways.

dingo roll bars cm, I just built a cage for the rear of my Dingo and I found that the tubing on the original cage parts were reasonably strong enough to serve as some protection. Wall thickness looked to be about .083". I also added a few extra pieces of tubing to strengthen a sideways...

Pictures of a Trike built for my youngest son. My first attempt at something on wheels. I know it is pedal powered but it does have kart wheels on the back so hopefully thats ok for the site. Frame is made from scrap tubing pieces taken from the scrap bin at work. Front forks carved out of alum...

Thought I would show a few pics of a Dingo that I am fixing up for my son's 13th b-day. Bought off of CL but it had missing rear cage, no brake caliper, broken support under motor plate and broken seat mounts. Welded and replaced missing parts. Made the rear cage to not extend as far out as the...

I built a kart from scrap bent tubing from a fab. shop and bought the parts I needed from Princess Auto. Sprockets, chain, Torq a verter clutch, brake caliper and disc and rear axle flange bearings. I used an old ride on lawn mower as a donor for the wheels and had a machine shop make a rear...

Trike pictures Welcome to a fellow Canuck. Good luck on you pending project. Are you considering making your own front end or using an old recycled motorcycle or minibike front end? I built a trike for my youngest son and made it out of Aluminum plate and solid round bar stock to create triple...

Thought there was a chicken on this site, judging by some of the chicken poop welds i've seen in some of the pictures thru out the various threads.

Just noticed a sale on transaxles from http://www.smallenginedistributors.net/transaxles.html some of them are selling for $87.00 dollars, seems cheap or else I am reading it wrong. Didn't see any cheap 2 smokes for Russ though. www.smallenginedistributors.net FYI

Throw a factory reconditioned chain saw engine on it or a couple weed eater 2 smokes. Our local supplier, Princess Auto always seems to have a supply of Poulan chain saw engines in stock w/o the bar.

Wish you well on your venture. Was curious about welding or drilling thru the the spring steel. Assuming that it is spring steel, would it be better to use shackles instead of drilling two holes per side which may be creating an unwanted stress point?

But if you want to try the articulating set up, you will probably need two link arms that form a triangle with opposite orientation to the axle triangle. Meaning that the point where they meet would have to be above the centerline of the rear axle and would have to be able to swivel, something...

Hey Shaggy, why don't you check out www.trophykart.com or www.extremebajakart.com , both of these offroad karts are used for racing. Trophy karts use a solid axle on a swing arm with the motor mounted in the kart frame and Extreme Baja Kart uses individual swing arms like kenny mentioned.

Was wondering how jr dragster Tyler was going to hook up his caliper to the brake pedal. Is there a brake rod direct from the pedal to the caliper? If so, how are you actuating the small lever on the caliper being that the lever isn't hanging straight up or straight down so it is in easy access...
