    Single rear wheel Kart?

    With the limited turning radius of a solid rear axle, and the cost complexity of a differential, what are the draw backs to a single rear wheel like the CanAm Spyder? I see where people slap motorcycle drive trains under golf karts. Anyway, just a random thought kind of thing. Build of 2018...

    For those with a knock off 30 series, what is your Driven engagement RPM? I guess if you don't have a timing light, you just guess based on Throttle % ? I am wondering if the Chinese stuff comes with the blue spring and zinc weight I will have a GX270 on a two seater yerf dog coming together...

    Suggestions for front wheels/tires

    I just bought my first kart and did not notice that the two front wheels are different! Same tire, just different wheel hub backspacing and the previous owner hid it behind some large washers.
