    Spindle Nut Help

    That was the ticket! Got 2 for 54 cents each. Also stopped at TSC and got 4 bearings (Made in Ohio, that is still in the USA right? :P) for $2.69 each.

    Spindle Nut Help

    Since this entire kart most likely was built in China I think I am safe. 99% of everything is built there now a days. I will stop at Fastenal on way home and see if they can match up the nut for me.

    Spindle Nut Help

    Wow its been a long time since I have been on the site. I picked up a yard kart for my youngest today, traded it for a little Chinese quad I paid $100 for about 7 years ago. Nothing real special but he wanted one instead of the quad and there are a few things it needs. 1. The front wheel...

    New custom go-kart build

    Just a little advice on the Torque Converter. I wouldnt go with Comet on a clone like that. I have seen guys that have used them and they are set at a BAD angle in relation to the motor. The rear shaft of the Comet TC will hit the head of the motor so you have to put at a steep angle. Here is...

    Wheel Alignment

    Speaking as front to back, what are the pros and cons to not having the back and front wheels the same width? Tracking issues? Steering issues? Turning Issues? I have seen some of the off road buggies with wider front ends than rear but they are running mostly live axles. Guess I am just...

    Shredder 2, My Design Hybrid Build

    I called about the saw. Will the blade that comes with the saw might get 200 cuts on steel with it. The replacement blade, with shipping is around $75. He says with 1 to 1.250 inch tubing can maybe get 600 cuts out of it. These saws are nothing special, it is the blade, and even the blade is...

    Steering Geometry

    Ok so my spindle has 20 degrees Castor (going to reduce this some, was just going by the numbers given), 10 degrees KPI and since I am welding the the stub axle perpendicular to the frame, 0 degrees of Camber. Your vertical statement threw me off a bit but I see now that you meant 2 degrees...

    Steering Geometry

    SITE it says Camber, I am just repeating what it says. I dont care what it is called as long as I have the angles correct, Camber/KPI or whatever people want to call it. I will reduce the castor angle to around 10 I guess. I will need to redo my fixturing. So apparently this site doesnt show...
