There is a point in heavy duty frames were driving unloaded is just as bad as driving with the suspension removed. I worked for First Transit before my accident, and when we would work on some of the bigger service trucks where you removed the the toolbox, or tow box, the back end would sit a...

Even if the buggy will weigh about 400-500 pounds driverless? If not air shocks would automotive shocks work as well?

Are air shocks a good idea for this kind of build, looking through the forum I see they are generally frowned upon on smaller karts? I ask because I can get a good set of automotive grade shocks cheaper than I can get ATV shocks. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Looking at their specs the wet weight of the engine alone would bottom them out at the stiffest setting. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

They are way out of my price range and there is nobody around here who is wreck less enough to get into a wreck. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Any specific posts, I have 3 weeks to get er done. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

The search begins for a 5 bolt sprocket that can handle 100+HP at the wheels, any ideas other than chain for transmitting that much power to the wheels? The disk is what I plan on using for rear braking, it's a 11 inch disk with dual piston caliper, up front I'll be running twin 10.8 inch disks...

Thanks for the info, but besides the tactile feel will there be a noticeable difference in clutch performance if I extend the hydraulic line, such as weaker slave cylinder, harder high speed shifting? I plan on running steel tubing along the frame and then use flex hose for a hand clutch using...

Hi all, as you may or may not know I am building a mini buggy that will be powered by a V65 Honda engine(1100CC's and 116BHP). My question is, is a hydraulic clutch practical in a buggy or should I look for a way to convert it to cable clutch? Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Officially using truck cv axles for the kart. Also here is a pic of the bike. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

What are th biggest differences between these two? And which is better for a go kart? Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

I think I saw a thread for a DIY Motor Controller on Instructables, I dont remember how he made it though. Look it up.

Besides looking weird, would longer front suspension be more functional? Oh and sorry about the pics we got rained in right as we were starting the tear down. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Got the motorcycle home yesterday, the pics will be up later today. Still wondering about the bearings in the previous post, and if 18" A-Arms are good enough for a hybrid buggy?

Thanks landuse, I really liked lukasdlf's build and hope to build something close to it just not with that much suspension travel. In case you haven't seen his build here is the link.(http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=22927) I hope to have a finalized design by tomorrow, well...

Updates.... and cycle tear down soon. So upon further investigation I have realized kart is the wrong word for this build. It'll be a semi-off road buggy. I looked around using the search feature and found pretty good pictures of what I'm trying to get after. I really like the V6 street rail...

That's a pretty beefy rear end, do you have multiple gears or is it a cvt? Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

How much speed would I be losing if I dropped from 22" inch tires to 20" Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

It may be the shift linkage or a vent for clutches? Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
