Hey guys. I just started college at cornell and i'm planning on joining the formula sae team in a couple weeks. if you've never heard of the competition it's a competition in both static and practical events between open wheel cars built by college students. the cars are built entirely from...

I bought my friends broken kart off of him and now i'm just getting rid of the parts i don't need. I think he still has the other wheel but it's somewhere in his garage so he's gonna try to find it. the wheels are 5" and the hubs are 5/8" bearings with the standard 4 on 2 13/16" pattern...

Everyone keeps talking about flywheels exploding when you run them above 5000 rpm, but no one has any personal experience. I think most people's doubts are with the chinese clone flywheels. I was thinking about making a rig to gear up an engine like 1:2 so i could spin something up to 7 or 8...

well I bought this kart for the bargain of $300 and like any other project it's proven way more involved than anticipated. The guy who built it thought for some reason it would be a great idea to use the original snowmobile chain case and sprockets with 23" balloon tires gearing it for a totally...

okay i'm looking for some advice from the diy gokart community. I found this home made go kart on craigslist for 300 which seems like a really good deal. It's an edge taipan with a 440 rotax. the frame and axle are a little rusty but not too bad. I'm thinking about buying it and reselling it...

The pump on my pressure washer just died so I now have a perfectly good 5 hp briggs engine that i don't really have a use for. anyone interested in buying it? I'd like to get around $100 for it since it is has not been used much. I live in the cleveland, ohio area if you want to pick it up or I...

I finally started building my shifter kart that i've been planning for the last 6 months. I just picked up the metal on monday and i finished cutting out the pieces today. I did a mockup of the parts just to see how it's gonna turn out. i'm going to buy some racing kart wheels for it but I...

I finally finished my kart. It's completely made out of garbage except for the clutch, chain, and wheels. I just put a speedometer on it and I hit a little over 30mph today. I need to get some taller gearing. the 12/60 is way to low for 10 inch wheels

I have for sale about 2 feet of snow here in cleveland. come take as much as you want! first come first serve :roflol:

I just finished designing the chassis for my new project. I don't know when i'm gonna be able to start it since working in the shop during a cleveland winter is not any fun. something about tools practically freezing to your hands doesn't seem very inviting lol. if anyone has any ideas on...

has anybody tried putting the drum brakes from a motorcycle on a live axle go kart? I've gotten the drum off of the wheel and removed the bearings, but now i've got a drum with a hole in the middle that's 1 7/16" which is way too big to mount on my rear axle, and i can't weld anything to the...
