I'll cross post this from my response to you in my build thread so there is another opinion/thought/point of view here as well for discussion sake! I am still running my twist throttle for now because it seems to be working well after making a few return spring adjustments and getting it dialed...

Mud I am still running my twist throttle for now because it seems to be working well after making a few return spring adjustments and getting it dialed in bit I will at some point be switching to the thumb throttle. The biggest downfall for me with the twist is when drifting to the left and the...

The clutch I bought doesn't even have a set screw hole so I did some searching and found this article about clutches. https://ombwarehouse.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/223146048-How-do-I-install-a-centrifugal-clutch- I followed it and centered my axle sprocket so the clutch would be centered...

That's gonna be a handful with that motor! My little gx160 drift trike is already a blast I can't imagine what the 270 will be like!

I'm running an 11x7.10-5 tire and using 10" green schedule 40 pvc. I to went through a ton of time looking for the same answer to your question and ultimately took a chance and just ordered the pipe since I already had the wheels/tires. After watching people struggle to get the pvc over the...

Got all my new parts installed today! I was happy to see that the new front tire is a good bit larger and a more street friendly tread. Having the disk brake is a huge improvement. I installed the new throttle linkage and I am not at all happy with it so I will be looking for a better...

I agree! And it's funny you mention the sleeves cause I had some parts delivered today including some schedule 80 for a set of sleeves!

I had a Hobart 140 for years that I loved and built an entire off-road truck with it until I treated myself to a new ESAB Rebel 285 when we built our new house. The Hobart will be more than capable of doing anything go kart related. There are a bunch of other options in that class as well...

So on Saturday I had a mishap when starting it lol. I knew my throttle cable was to short and and to tight for my liking so I had already ordered a longer one on Friday night but I was always careful to check and make sure everything was in order before starting it. Well this time I got in a bit...

Thanks guys! I really need my sleeves so I can actually ride this thing around! Going from one end of the street to the other and having to get off and manually turn around is getting old but it ain't stopping me lol! I'll get some video once I have the sleeves installed.

Well its running and driving! I've got some small adjustments to make like removing the rubber washers on the motor mount so the motor stops sliding forward and I ordered a new longer throttle cable. The cable I have "works" but it has a tight bend and just doesn't have enough slack for my...

New here but not to forums and build threads! This will be to document the long awaited build of my drift trike. I have wanted to build one of these for a very long time and I have been collecting bits for about a year and since I am also building a 6.0 LS twin turbo bagged 63' C10 currently...

Hey all! Signed up last night after visiting here more times than I can count. I'm about to start a drift trike build so I'll toss up a build thread on that but wanted to say hey and thanks for all the info available here.
