i'm not sure if the banshee hub would fit on a go kart axle. i think it might be a little bigger in diameter. i wonder how hard it would be to just drill a new 4 on 4 bolt pattern in the wheels. any personal experiences here??

not hugely familiar with j-arm setups. arent the just like dual arm setups but with only one tube on top, instead of an "A", to locate the top of the spindle??

weight is not really a problem because i'm using a 337 cc 2-stroke for power. i think i could make a single arm strong enough, so i dont think that would be an issue. long travel is not really necessary, but it would be cool, so that is what i am striving for. why exactly would single arms...

what are the advantages/disadvantages of each? i'm not sure what to go with. i have all the tools to fab either one up, but i just cant decide.

i dont think that the banshee hubs would fit on a go kart axle. i think it is a little bit bigger.

ahh... $25 works alot better, but would this limit the amount of articulation? if so, wouldn't that kind of be a waste of the 4-link abilitiy? i have no experience in susp design, so diregard if this is impossible/impracticle. But, what if you used heims for the 2 lower links only to save on...

ya, i found midwestcontrol, but your looking at $70 just for the rod ends. i was hoping you might be on a tighter budget, but i guess some things just aren't cheap.

no they are for sure 4 on 115. i hope i can find some hubs cuz i'm trying to do this on a budget since i can fab most everything myself and already have these extra wheels/tires.

are you going to use little heim joints for the rod ends or just bolts or pins or something? if so, where are you going to get them? i wouldn't mind doing my susp like this. i have no need for it, but it will be different, thats for sure.

working on getting the parts together for my first cart project. i already have some old wheels/tires from my banshee and would like to use them but i cant find any hubs with the right bolt pattern. my fourwheeler wheels have the 4/115 bolt pattern. looking for something like this, but with...

well, i figured out exactly what you are talking about. on ebay, i found a primary and secondary for a yamaha ovation (not sure if its the right model), but i dont have the money even if it was a perfect fit. might just have to do the belt drive setup to get by for now.

ok, i was thinking of just regular centrifugal clutches. any idea where i could find what you are talking about, the ones that constantly change size? if not to buy, something i could look at to get a better understanding of them. i know the guy i am buying it from does not have them because...

sorry if i sound ignorant, but i am really new to all this. by primary and secondary, are you saying one on the engine shaft and the jack shaft? is that to allow the rpm's to climb before trying to move the axle? thanks,

cool, going to pick it up tomorrow after i go hunting. any idea what kinda rpm's will come from this thing so i can get an idea of what sprockets to use. i was thinking about 10/60 with 20" tires, but i could be way off. any recommendations on what to use?? jack shaft, yes or no?? i am...

i was originally going to buy the HF clone motor, but i stumbled across this. i like the idea of it being 2 stroke since my four wheeler is 2 stroke, but i do not know much about it. it is a yamaha 337cc 2 stroke originally off of a snowmobile. would this be better for a simple kart? its the...

12" shock, is that common?? i have no idea, was just gonna see what shocks i could stumble across. thought about maybe using my stock banshee shocks, but i dont know. here is a very rough idea of a couple changes i made. does it look better?? i know there needs to be more bracing for the...

i agree, those guys irritate me too. yes, you are right, simple and clean does equal sexy... i do apprecaite the input, hopefully i will be able to get started next weekend as i already have all the materials for the frame.

actually, i was talking about camping at the dunes, and yes, it is wonderful. this will not be for riding in the sand, just to screw around with at the camp site. as i said, there is no real purpose here, as i could just as easily ride my four wheelers where ever i wanted to go. it will...

that seat is just something i downlaoded from the sketchup archives to keep from having to make one myself, as were the tires and engine. no need for a seat belt or roll cage. good catch on the a arm bolts, didnt even notice it. i'm not a sketch up pro, so sometimes i just get it too look...

hello all. new to the forum and i am ready to get started on my first kart. i am going to be using a HF 6.5, but beyond that, i am rather clueless. i want to get the frame built and just kind of build on it as i go. here are some pics of what i have come up with so far. this is just what...
