i have obtained a tyler dunn sc1-59 very similar to this:


it works so i thought it would make a nice electric go cart. its my first build so i not trying to over do it. i have basically what is a working 24v golf cart wiring im going to directly transfer over, but ill need to make the motor drive the axle of the go cart somehow.



basically i want to replicate what is shown in this youtube video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkmkzr2k77s&feature=related



the motor of the sc-1 is basically a golf cart motor but it has an output shaft with a chain sprocket on it, and a nice mount and bearing on the front basicly what the video above had made for the golf cart motor. the sprocket is removable from the motor and is on a 11/16th inch shaft. so i figured i could change it to a different one that could be attached to the a go cart standard axle. i have never done anything like this so any input is very appreciated .

i cant see y you cant just set it up like any other engine if its got a chain a sprocket just mount it above the axle make sure u work out how to tighten your chain and put a sprocket on the axle wire it all up and you have a kart. you sure that the motor will be fast enough tho?
