    Looking to Buy a Mini-Bike

    I know the focus of what we do here is to discuss our love for building, crafting and modifying. That being said, I was hoping for some advice from those with the knowledge and experience I trust most. The focus is for my kids, 8 & 14. The 14 primarily and the 8 year old as he gains some...

    Manco steering shaft

    My 2x5 Fox does this too.. also, I don't think you're pics came through. I'd be interested to see what you do to resolve it, if you do!

    Did I buy a Rupp??

    Yea, I have no idea what this.. I am excited to see what you do with it, though. Mind if I ask how much you ended up paying? I would love to find a cart in about this condition, most people I come across so far are selling stripped karts, in terrible condition for a premium price!

    Dingo Manco Fox 2x5 LXT Torque Converter replacement

    Looks really nice though man, congrats! I am assuming you took the bench off to paint. I am planning on pulling mine tomorrow to troubleshoot what makes it not slide easily sometimes. Right now I think it may even be stuck. I am also going to properly run and mount the Tachometer I've installed...

    Engine/TAV decision

    You may be apprehensive of going with eBay to order stuff, but I gotta bring it back up. If for no other reason than the availability factor. Not to mention you would be under budget! Check this out, IF you go with the links I suggested before and the TC kit @madprofessor referenced and...

    Original go kart returns

    Yea this is super cool man! Just so you know, when YT asks you if this video is made for kids, it's because they are wanting to put heavier limitations on the video than those expected by regular YT. For example, people cannot comment on YT posting. May have been exactly what you wanted, but...

    Engine/TAV decision

    Did GPS buy up all the 420cc Hemi's? Can't find them on HF.com, maybe they never sold it and GPS contracted direct? Either way, it's too bad because I hear the HEMI have even more torque per HP stock. Some great suggestions here for sure! Just to throw a wrench in the conversation, what about...

    Dingo Manco Fox 2x5 LXT Torque Converter replacement

    🤷‍♂️ You got me! Quick question: I got pretty close to sourcing the model number of my kart, but assumed the name of it was the Dingo Manco Fox 2x5 lxt, from the stickers on it but then I see others with Silver Fox looking an aweful lot like this kart. Was I mistaken? Maybe its a year/released...

    Dingo Manco Fox 2x5 LXT Torque Converter replacement

    Yea I guess, I just thought ppl here all agreed on that one thing lol.. wrong assumption.. glad to hear it doesn't really matter. My kart actually had 2 plates. The new one replaced the 2nd/top plate which had the jackshaft part on it. Hopefully, these pics will clarify. Here's what I...

    Dingo Manco Fox 2x5 LXT Torque Converter replacement

    So, I ended up pulling the original mount that came stock and slid it right over the bolts that change the elevation of the motor. I would have had to clean up the steel on the original better. So I have a question for you, I feel like I've seen stated elsewhere that it's ideal to have as...

    Dingo Manco Fox 2x5 LXT Torque Converter replacement

    Did you end up taking it out? Had a bit of fun with the kart today. My kids got a taste and couldn't get enough, I think they finally understand why I was so determined. They insisted on ridding again when we got home, so I finally thought about pulling out the camera. Here she is finally...

    Dingo Manco Fox 2x5 LXT Torque Converter replacement

    The 1st and wrong was from Amazon but I did measure for it lol. The recently ordered and correct belt, was the comet belt and it does not shred any, yet anyhow lol. It was a fantastic feeling especially when I got to tear out! Yes my 8yr old son has been a big part of working on it with me. He...

    Dingo Manco Fox 2x5 LXT Torque Converter replacement

    Big update: So I set everything up after getting home and took her out for some joy ridding before the kids got home. I had Denny's words in my head the whole time drive the snot out of it for about a half hour. A goal I was determined to meet! Man did it ride good for about 25minutes. Then...

    Engine bounce

    The video show's us what the motor is doing but can you take some pics of what's around the motor and how it's mounted? Sides, front and maybe even under neither? I don't know that kart, but I am sure plenty others will be able to name it quickly and how it's configured. Is it mounted with any...

    Dingo Manco Fox 2x5 LXT Torque Converter replacement

    I did pickup some Tap Magic for that reason, I've heard it's really great stuff so when I do remove my governor I'll be sure to use it tapping those threads. I guess the youtubers just make far too much unnecessary mess trying to display the work instead of careful to control the mess. I have 2...

    Dingo Manco Fox 2x5 LXT Torque Converter replacement

    You never sent any pics! Funny, after mentioning the dry graphite for the belt I watched a video of someone taking apart the TC to spray it with dry graphite. Yea I guess I was too loose in how I stated that lol If you were tapping out a whole in the case of a motor, then wanted to spray...

    Dingo Manco Fox 2x5 LXT Torque Converter replacement

    Is there some way to measure even with a caliper, ruler or tape? I can understand the need for specifics, just seems like there would be some specific point on the chain to actually gouge 1/4 slack/droop

    Dingo Manco Fox 2x5 LXT Torque Converter replacement

    Any everyday as in an average lube, or did you mean you lube your chains every day they're used/run? I have 3 lube sprays I've purchased, plus the 1 grease that was recommended for inserting the shaft. Dry Moly Lube supposed to be good to use in on the belt Graphite Dry Film supposed to be...
