im just not sure if that one can hold up to a 400-500 cc motor.
i'd try and find some specs on it, but yeah, for that price it seems to be the right answer. With all 4 wheels pulling you may not need such a large engine anyway I would think a 200ish cc engine would be plenty.

only talked about the 4 wheels pulling from a traction point of view... just trying to say you wont have to compensate traction w/ power any more.

I just got an idea, might of already been said but, why dont you have a live axle up front and a diff in the rear, because the front two tires always spin the same speed right?

Actually, I wanted to do it a little different. I will be alright having live axle in the front and rear. Dirt gives easily. I want limited slip in the middle to help combat torque steer...


But I decided long ago to ditch the differentials for the first stage at least. I'll add em later to mess around further.

live axle in front is what creates torque steer. not front to rear bias

I wounder if anyone is ever going to build one on here all these members over the years and all the karts ive seen on here and everyone talks about doing it. Would like to see some one finally get it going.:toetap05:

I would probably end up shooting myself trying.

you ever get started on it yet? or you just gona continue with drawings of it?

 

[getitdone]

what if you geared it 10:1 (or 1:10, idk which one is what im talking about..) and put on 22" paddles?! that would kick some butt with a 24hp v twin..

according to http://www.thebitstream.com/?p=27 you'd be going 23.56 MPH, i'm not sure of the torq though..
