Add Ons

[CaptCanadia]

Since I've gotten my first go kart I've added a few things. I've added a kill switch, new tires, new brakes, battery, flood lights, and soon a new engine. I'm out of ideas to add, but I'm sure u guys have added a lot of awesome things to ur karts. Anyone have any suggestions what I should do?

 

[CaptCanadia]

Some ideas I have is a radio, CB radio, and a PA or voice amplifier

If you dont already have or you could put a torque converter on it or add suspension. Also what tires did you get?

 

[CaptCanadia]

Ya I could do that, I have to get a new clutch anyways. Right now I have a pulley thing going on. I dont think I can add a torque converter due to the design of the kart.
I got some cheaper 145/70-6 tires. 14 inch. Got four of em for 85 bucks so I'm happy with that and they are pretty much the same tires I already have on there. The suspension idea I already thought of and I'm going to do it, just not now.

Oh by the way, sick picture.

A wing is always a cool add on.

 

[CaptCanadia]

oh, that's sweet. How much do those cost or did u build em? And what's that orange thing coming out the back of the kart? An antenna?

You can always post a pic of your present pulley setup, I'm sure someone will find a good setup for your engine and frame to house a tc. Ya I like the picture

add a spud cannon!

 

[CaptCanadia]

lmao I don't think those are legal in Cali. What i was thinkin was a mounted paintball machine gun. Add an overhang cartridge and a handle to turn it and im set.

thats alotta $$$ spud cannon would run u 50 bucks at most and it sounds so satisfying when it goes off lol

The wings were on a old racing kart front end. I just bolted them up high. The orange thing is a sand dune flag thingy. My nephew just had to have one. That was the most wanted thing besides a number.

I put the plag pole on a air fitting coupler. This way I can unhook it pretty easy and fast.

 

[CaptCanadia]

Sweet thats nice to know because I'm going to be mounting a huge Canadian flag to my kart soon. I'ma go cruising around with my grandma when she comes down. She says shes gonna drive by all the houses and start talking trash to all the Americans over the PA. LOL.

Its a bit confusing with you guys having the same avatar. I usually know who has posted by their avatar pic, but with you guys I gotta think....

Okay- I'm lost, captain. You've got a Canadian flag avatar, but your location is California. I know we're considered the 51st state by some, but what gives???

BTW- Go get a bicycle computer and rig it onto your kart as a speedometer. Cheap, cool add-on.

hey how about an 12volt air horn , I think HF sells them. HHHHooonnnkkk !!

 

[Bluethunder3320]

i would have put a siren on mine. but its so loud, i dont want people thinking theres an air raid happening....

I second this. I was just using one of mine last night and seeing fire shoot out and a potato go 150 yards never gets boring. With PVC and no ABS, the chamber will glow and you can see the fire rush up the barrel and out when fired at night...that's cool to watch.

I added a little box i made out of wood to hold my ipod so I can have a race cam and i added a trunk. I have pictures of them on one of my posts somewhere.
