    Well money isn't really a concern right now. I will not be working on it till summer. Colorado School of Mines has far too much work to mess with it right now. Hopefully my internship with Lockheed Martin will follow through. The frame has been through solid works stress analysis and is just...

    thanks, ya I have been doing a lot of searching the last week or so and was afraid that was the case. I think I am going to sell the 10 hp Tecumseh and buy a complete dirt bike engine and lower end. My frame is big enough for it lol.

    This is my main question ^ however thanks for the input both you guys, I do think I am going to do that actually, even though I have tested the turning radius to be pretty good, but yes, the wheels will rub with a tight enough turn. I plan fab a hub that will be welded on to the drive...

    Hmm thanks for the help, any one else out there use one of these knock off comets? I haven't been able to find but 3 reviews of the things, and 2 of them seem suspicious (as in whoever wrote them probably works for the company) but the other seems somewhat more legitimate. Thanks!

    Hi, Im Alex. I have been lurking a few days to get some info. Just recently I purchased a Tecumseh HM100 10hp engine. My plans are to build a "shifter kart" just with a little less kick (unfortunately). I am actually going to a friends shop today to put together a chassis. I had one question...
