    thanks, it was the look i was going for, love odyssey's, only wish i could find a500cc or so 4 wheeler engine to get reverse and no clutch, did aquire a 500 honda, would give more power, but still no reverse!

    correct I added a bearing right next to the sprocket on the axel, used my biggest sprocket and had no jumping of teeth, YES, put on my smaller wheels, to make a smaller gear ratio plus these have ALOT less traction and it seems to work better. too bad it does'nt look as good as with the larger...

    Well I think i have figured out my picture posting problem so here goes, It seems that no matter how tight i get the chain, it slips, don't know if there is flex in the frame,or the axel or the motor mount, but i need to find out!

    megabusa gokart
