haha yeah, the only local place was this local shop, everything they sold was the pro stuff.. yeah kinda trying to justify ripping myself off XD

G'day guys, Last year I made a go kart as a side project for my year 11 engineering class. Well time has passed, the cops now hate me and I brought a real car so its time to sell my babe. I don't think I will get anything for the kart its self but I am happy to sell the parts. I LIVE IN...

Hey everybody, thanks for the posts! I went to cash converters and bought a Kenwood 1000w mono bridgeable amp which retails at $300 for $100 cash hahaha the sub works awesome and is so freaking loud. Pics anyone?

thanks brendonv and kibble, nice rc car btw brendonv. I didnt even think about cash converters haha funny since my grandad was mates with the guy who started the thing. I'll go down tomorrow and see what they have to offer. Thanks for the help and quick replies. Just one last thing, on the...

Hello, I'm not sure if many of you know much about car stereo's but its worth a shot. I just purchased an Alpine 600w 200wrms sub and I need an amp to power it. So far everything I have looked at is expensive and all I am looking at is a cheap okay stereo. I already have the speakers and...

I'm going camping on some river in Australia for a month and I'm 18 and the parents get worried. There is phone reception where I am going.. just no electricity, thanks for the replies.

Hey guys, I'm going on holiday in 2 weeks and I just found out there will be no electricity or generators. So I had some solar panels lying around and hooked them up. They generate 1.2v each but when all 4 are hooked up it generates about 4v altogether. I want to make a phone charger out of...

I cant wait to see this thing running! Oh.. and nice rack XD

haha check this out, I'm not going to do this but it would look sick! (its a roll cage btw)

hmm I looked closer at the engine and the clutch when the engine is running and every time I rev the engine the chain gets pulled closer to the sprocket.. conclusion.. the engine mount is flexing.. reinforce and it should be ok, thanks 1992surban for the flexing idea!

G'day guys, my chain on my go kart is very tight but for some reason it keeps falling off. Should a make a guard or a tentioner? how would i go about making a tentioner? everything just seems to break.

A few welds are only tacked, I'll try and buy a mig welder asap but I'm only 17 and I don't earn that much so I'll have to make do with this crappy $130 stick welder I have. ty for the advice

Hey guys, long time since i did an update so here is another. Those front wheels are CRAP they snapped after about 10 mins of driving.. so I brought the same tires as the back ones because they seem to be pretty good quality. I also added the peddle which works great and added a kill switch...

G'day thanks for that info, I didnt realise that the carby was actually off a victa, I thought it was off a bike or something. Anyway I have two of them, both are different models that you explained above. I wasnt sure which one to use.. the one with the plastic float at the botom or the one...

Yup =D hopefully I can make a good peddle and get it working nice.

yeah its acting as a lever so when I push on the peddle from the front, the lever pulls the string which then increases the air intake through the carby. It's very hard to explain XD

hahaha nah man.. that's a brake pad from a bicycle that i screwed into the hole as a lever XD. Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it

G'day guys, So I finished my go kart as most of you know and when I was driving around I was controlling the throttle by leaning over the seat and reaching behind.. very dangerous.. so before I let my gf ride on it I have to hook up the throttle. I have no idea where this carby is from, It was...

lol.. that wasnt full throttle, I have a 62 tooth sprocket with a 12 pin clutch and 15 inch tires.. should be faster.. especially when the engine warms up
