anyone got a shredder kart?

[Routy]

wow those karts are savage and that is a ton of people and karts. i like them i want to make one of them now. you got any info on designs and plans for one of them?

 

[killawatt]

i can help with designs but as far as actual blue prints go we all that has to be turned in so i dont have any copies of it but ill help you long the way just take lots of pics

 

[Routy]

well ill have to start later out of money and its almost winter to cold to do anything anyway. but i would appreciat it they are perfect their small, suspension and the motors looked pretty good.

i also wan't to build one, but that 2 seater looks really fun.

 

[killawatt]

the motors they gave us depended on our sponsers like for instance we were offered two kawasaki gave us a 125cc and then briggs and stratton gave us a motor they took off a racing cart and thats what we went with mainly because it was extremely torque and ridiculous fast came with a really neat gear box it was 4 gears and then had what reminded me of like a towing gear it was just super super low it was great for whole shots

 

[Routy]

sounds awesome you think the kart will hold up to a 400cc snowmobile engine though i think it will cuss you hittin jumps like that with no prob. i cant wait now lol, so do you have a estimate on how much it would cost to build the frame or atleast the cheapest way.

 

[killawatt]

it would definantly hold a 400 there was guys out there running motors a lot bigger then that (vw motors) anyway i mean it all depends on how extreme you want to go with it and are you welding a frame? honestly what we did is found a cheap but really nice yerfdog frame paid 100 bucks for it and just cut moodded it welded a lot of supports put a body on it we did a lot to it but after it was all said and done we put about 700 bucks into it not counting the motor(which was free) but that was mainly because it had to meet all these codes for saftey but look at investing at least 300 bucks into it and thats assuming you already have the motor and trans.

 

[Routy]

i got the motor and engine set up planned and im probably going to have to build it from tires up but i already got the motor running and everything. you know those karts look alot like this one.

 

[killawatt]

yea its just again its all about what you want that frame will not only take a lot more time but also a lot more parts which mean more$$$$ so just decide exactly what you want and go from there

 

[Routy]

alright thanks man and ill show you pics as i build and ask if i need help. thanks

 

[killawatt]

no worries its a great project and you should look forward to it it will definantly be one of the badest carts on your block

 

[Routy]

lol true im going to talk my friend into building one to so we can race. hey thanks
