Hey everyone, I'm going to be making the "Arachnid" from spiderkarts in about 1-2 months and I'm really struggling to find any parts needed to build it, all the metal for the frame and such is provided. I live in Brisbane, QLD, Australia, so if anyone knows any places around Brisbane that sells...

That sounds like a great idea! We have a few metal lathes and a milling machine, will surely get me a better mark, lucky i know how to use them both! Is there a diagram of how to make a 40" rear axel? Or something similar.:thumbsup:

Thanks a lot for the help! I was actually thinking about a 6.5 HP engine

Well, when you put it that way, it won't be a full hardcore off-road Kart, just one that i can use on dirt/grassy surfaces that is a bit rough! What HP engine would you recommend for this kart and maybe some chassis upgrades so it'll be better.

Hey guys, so this is a picture of a go-kart at our school that was brought in by one of the teachers, I'm thinking of just trying to replicate it (Teacher had no plans for it).

Well all of the material is supplied so i just need the other parts, I don't mind how much the engine, rear axel, e.t.c. cost would be nice if i could get a good guideline on budget parts that still do the job. The arachnid looks amazing, but I've heard a lot of bad stuff about the design.

Thanks for the fast reply, Landuse! Could you maybe recommend a few good plans?

Hey everyone, I was just curious if anyone could help me out with my high school Engineering project, my teacher has allowed me to make an off-road kart but i need to get some plans to be able to go through with it. It can't be overly big so just a nice sized kart that'll fit an average man and...
