if I'm correct, for amperage you need to wire in parallel and for voltage you must wire in series so your plan should work, but let one of the more experienced members make sure before you take my word

it won't move but if he somehow manages to get it rolling down a hill it could probably do some damage

really? a gas trimmer has enough power? i have 2 sitting in my shed that need some work to get going but i can surely fire them up :smiley_omg:

i doubt a trimmer has enough torque for a go kart but i know heavy duty drill motors will work, you may need 2 to really get going but 1 will work too possibly

of course, i understand that my plan wasn't the best ( i think i found a scrap place which will give me all the metal i need for 25$:wai:) and I've found a good golf cart motor and some batteries are on their way and I've found a website that should give me all the parts i can't get locally but...

i don't think he understands were trying to help, not be mean. I'm sure i speak for everyone here when i say that we don't want you to get hurt or end up hurting someone else

yes in fact i do what pvc is and i know its not very strong, I'm not gonna waste my time trying to help you if you wish to take my advice, so be it but don't go complaining when you get hurt and realize you wasted your time and money, and a lithium battery like the ones from drills and suck will...

thats really cool, i wonder if i put this on a chassis, put light turn signals,brake lights etc if it'll be street legal, road laws here are VERY strict

wait, holdup either your quite young and probably too naive about this build or your skinny as heck but even 100 pounds is a lot for a saw motor to handle, plus your CHASSIS is probably 35lbs your batteries are gonna be 15 each at least not to mention your drivetrain

dude, if you can't go with metal, at the very least you want to use wood, and by that i mean 2x4's i mean 100ft of 2x4's is gonna run you less than 35$ and probably less than pvc its also quite strong you can lay out a 2x4x10 and only support the 2 ends and stand in the middle and it won't...

thanks, i think ill wait, gather more information about a build and see if i can buy an old one for cheap on craigslist

well i do have [I]some[I] experience making things. i work at an auto body shop with my dad and i would be getting a lot of help if i get stuck, plus i have a lot of parts on hand like axle hangers, axles and misc parts but i think ill wait to find an old used one

well i found that all the parts i need , if i buy separately i can get them decently cheap, the only karts i can find in my area are ready to go race karts which are at least a grand, I'm still looking however

ok so i guess ill wait a while and save up for steel tubing, all the wood needed for that cart would only cost me about 30$ so it was a tempting idea but i think ill wait and save up for steel tubing

lol i dont wanna be push starting it, its only gonna be so light because its wood but i think i under estimated the weight nonetheless maybe 100-150

ok i will do, i can't get the pics up here because i screen shotted the plans from myy mac and the website says its in an incompatible format edit: i took a pic of the pic lol i hope it works, i will be adding more reinforcements where the seat will go

sorry guys, ill be less childish later, fabroman i did try googling but i couldn't find any scent canadian websites

ok sorry about being vauge, i found a golf cart motor which i think will be more than enough

thanks fabroman

hmm, thats what i was thinking, would 2 24v drill motors be sufficient? i know they're quite strong
