Another go kart project completed...

...maybe.

I've finished another kart, it's another Fantic Broncco TX5. Except for the engine, it has all original and NOS parts.

On this one, I wanted to try out an engine that I've had sitting on a shelf for over a year... a Champion 163cc engine 6hp... just because I liked the looks of the yellow engine with the florescent lime green color of the go kart.

BUT... after experiencing the power of a Stage 1 upgrade on a 212cc Hemi Predator like I have on my florescent yellow Fantic TX5, I think I may go with my original plan of making them twins. I have another Stage 1 212cc Hemi Predator ready to go.

Your thoughts?

I did end up going with my original plan afterall...to install my other stage1 Predator 212 hemi to match the engine I have on my yellow kart.

Tomorrow I take it over to my sister's 20 acres to see how the green and the yellow compare. I don't remember which one has the larger sprocket on the rear. so it should be interesting.

The karts look good.
How well do the brakes work on the green kart?

Thanks.

They work great... once I got them adjusted properly. It's got a heafty 9" disc with a well made mechanical caliper. I'm really happy with the setup.

Thanks I was thinking of using a brake setup something like that on my other go kart build.

I really think you need a green pre filter on the yellow one

I totally agree... IF I could find one it would be on there. If you know where I can get one, PLEASE let me know.
