found it. it's a tao motor jeep. I saw this one on marketplace and recognized the frame. guy was kind enough to tell me what it was.

I've been seeing green flames while welding. that's usually galvanized. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

right?? I literally built a cage onto an EMT conduit go cart

why not use black iron pipe and skip the grinding step?

it could literally squash down 2 feet and not be an issue. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

coolness factor went out the door when my 6'4" self needs to test drive this and function check everything.

the front bars accomplish some triangulation as they are mounted in board vs the main up rights. same as the rear tubes. it's not just a square.

if the cage is ever used it's gonna crumple the kart frame.

yeah I can't watch that. I made it to the part where he was describing the differences between dom and hrew we are talking about welding to a Chinese frame with tube dimensions similar to conduit.

yeah I can't watch that. we are talking about welding to a Chinese frame with tube dimensions similar to conduit. the kart frame will collapse before the roll cage will.

once again. talking it out. trying to make the best decision. I am very hard to offend by the way.

people ride 4 wheelers, dirt bikes, motorcycles, karts with no cages that go faster than this one will, build their own air planes, some sort of risk assessment is needed in any activity.

not offended at all. just talking thru this. there is a fine line between weight/ vs relative safety as well. I can weld all kind of stuff to this go kart and it will only go 10 mph and if it should tip over well it will be the safest thing out there. I'm a little bit older and I remember a...

the top blue arrow is the triangulation yet there is a very long section of unsupported tube indicated by second arrow. that tube will do nothing to to triangulate that roll bar. it will fold up.

so I have looked at a couple Chinese made go karts. there is minimal triangulation in the roll cages and the tubing is paper thin. I'm not being combative but why is it that a factory made cage out of inferior materials that is bolted together with crummy hardware is better than a homemade...

I am considering the x brace. there were solid lugs on the frame where the old cage bolted in. looked at a little colman kart at TSC Friday and the roll cage on it looked like conduit with no bracing at all and tiny little hardware holding it to the frame. the luggage rack will probably...

roll cage

awesome! I got the roll cage for this tackes up and mostly welded. I ran out of welding wire. I'll start a build thread for it so it can go down in posterity as a total wreck of a kert rejuvenated.
