    My new project

    No worries. That's pretty much the same boat I'm in. I used a piece of 1" 3/4 .120 wall. Some stuff I had laying around from a set of rock sliders. It's no where near as elaborate as your frame. LOL. I'll post some pics soon. Yes, I want to put a 26x4 front wheel on it. I'm trying to piece...

    My new project

    Thanks I appreciate it. I'm trying to figure out my wheel and tire size now. I really want to go with a 6 inch wheel. 5x5 seems like it's more common. I just ordered a 40 inch axel, and the bearing and hanger kit from BMI as well. I'm planning on running a 11x5.50x6 rain tire. Trying to...

    Going to build my kids a kart, but new to this!

    You're welcome. Yes, the drawing board is up to you. You can make what ever you want with just a few tools. I started with a cheap $50 frame off craigslist and made it a two seater for my son. We had fun and learned a lot. That might be an idea as well.

    Hi, Steel is the way to go without a doubt. If your father in law will help, have him or borrow the welder. On the Home page you'll see kart plans. Also check out kartfab for other plans. DIYGOKARTS PLANS Kart Plans Kart Fab Have fun and start a build thread when you start.

    My new project

    That looks awesome! Getting close to the end. I just started one a couple days ago. I'm trying to decide on which size wheels and tires to run. You're running a 6" wheel and what size tire? Is the overall dimension 10 inches for PVC?PE pipe? Did you piece the live axel together? I haven't seen...

    $100 deal or not?

    Yes, the bar is funky. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. The motor mounted on the kart now is 212. It started on the second pull. It has a total run time of 1 hour. It looks brand new. A local pressure washing company uses the motors and must have them branded slightly different...

    $100 deal or not?

    I picked it up. I ended up getting two running motors and a couple sets of wheels. The wheels and extra motor was not in any of the pics. I'll upload a couple pics tomorrow morning. Anyone know the make or model? So far I haven't found anything on the frame to reference. Chancer, you think...

    From Zero To Hero "Old Blue" Build Thread

    Ya she runs like a top! He has a perma-grin for sure. Bugs in teeth and all, neither of us can stop smiling when she's scooting down the road.. Still need to get a few things dialed in. The brake band and linkage and well as brake/gas pedal mount. A few other details and we should be ready to...

    From Zero To Hero "Old Blue" Build Thread

    Well she's alive. We figured out the motor mounting issue and dialed it in. This thing absolutely rips. We used a GPS app on the old smart phone and top speed was 28 mph! Feels faster than that. LOL. Still got some dialing in to do but she's finally ALIVE:)

    That's not gonna work..Motor Mount Issues..

    Just got back from the steel yard. The plan is to build a motor plate "base" out of square 1 1/2. That will raise the motor enough to fix the height issue. Weld the motor base frame and new motor plate a couple inches back and we should be golden. I plan to work on this tomorrow. I'll get some...
