Hello everyone,
Names Robert
Currently im building a custom golf cart with a 2004 YZF-R1 Motor(1000cc) producing around 180HP.
I'm on this forum because I'd like to ask if there is a go-kart axle that is at least 35" wide and could handle this kind of power as I am going to be adding a live axle and I'm looking to find the right axle either from a kart or a 4 wheeler...
All help and insight is much appreciated

As said above, 1 or 1¼" should be able to handle the power.

The reason such heavy axles are typically used on karts is for the stiffness factor so they dont bend under the weight. Should be plenty of rotational strength out of either.

You may not find threaded ends, you'll have to get it threaded...
Better off getting it internally threaded, but really you don't need to for what your building...

That is alot of unsupported axle length... It will bend easily with weight...
