anyone ever build a monster kart?

I searched bing for monster go karts and came accross these. Couldnt help but share. Just too cool.

That second one looks like it means buisness. The first just looks tall for the sake of being tall. Not sure what the use is in being so high if the axle is still only 8" from the ground. Maybe preparing for bigger meats? IDK.

Got me on the tall one, but I got me thinkin bout a garden tractor/lifted kart creation.

Being that a monster truck is (for all intents & purposes) a standard truck with huge wheels, you would think that a monster kart would have wheels similar to those on the truck behind it...

karts and steep hills

True. And that would look awesome. These pics got me thinkin bout using tractor parts to build a lifted go kart. Here in wv karts are kinda few and far on acount of there poor performance on hills. But using a tractor belt setup with a torquey motor and some extra ground clearance would work nicely.

Big wheels, minimalist frame & a 1.6L diesel engine, wouldn't that be something

The drivetrain in that first pic looks a bit funky. Front wheel drive? LOL

 

[tractor guy]

I know right. I dont see the benefits that make it worth the effort ot runnin so much drivetrain.

I actually have a feeling that the engine has just been put there. I don't see any chain from that sprocket going anywhere

I noticed. But at some point the must have planned to. Cool idea, sad execution. Lol

That's what happens when planning is left out of the equation...

Lol
The other one looks to be planned out nice.

... to some extent. What's with the 3 tier rollcage though...

I REALLY dig the second one. Could use a cut up big CC quad to donate the suspension and drive train...... Sounds like it needs to go on the "to do" list ..... lol
And yes, the roll bar is funky....
