budget wooden go-kart

[Whitetrashrocker]

Ohh a foot steer!

 

[jmaack]

definitely put some kind of steering stop on that. with a stage 1 and converter that thing should move

 

[Mr_mcrib212]

I want to try and go 40 on this thing

 

[Karts of Kaos]

no.

 

[Mr_mcrib212]

I just bought an engine from harbor freight that should be here tomorrow(ish)

You might want to go 40 on it now, but after you've driven it at 20 you might change your mind.

Seriously, everything about this is a terrible idea.

You have an engine.
You have a live axle kit.
You're a cheap Marketplace frame away from having a decent go kart.

 

[Mr_mcrib212]

i have full faith in this frame

I'd like to see some pics of the wooden kart.

Decades ago, I built one using a 2x8 for the frame, a 2x4 with mower wheels up front, a coca cola bottle case for a seat and a pair of 16" (or 20"??) bicycle tires on back. Also had a friction brake lever for each of the rear tires and a steel wheeled roller skate for a wheelie bar.

it was great fun downhill, but a beast to pull back up the hill.

Franz Reichelt had full faith in his homemade parachute suit when he jumped off the Eifel tower.

He went splat.

 

[landuse]

No. Just no!

Someone please expose this as a joke.

 

[Bansil]

Well....April fools and all...I did crash one of them rope steer down hill racers about 1973-ish if I remember correctly....it hurt

 

[Mr_mcrib212]

Unfortunately, this is not a joke and there is a predator with all of the accessories coming this week

 

[Bansil]

...hellzzz bellsss...shiats about to get realz...
Oh
I and my body are at the ready....remember what I said about another camera person? Now i am cereal...how old are you?

 

[Brianator]

I think the better question is.. How long is a piece of string????...

How is a rhetorical question supposed to help here?

 

[Karts of Kaos]

Now i am cereal

[Mr_mcrib212]

I think you can figure out my age by the stupidity of my plan

I have just bolted the seat down and sometime next week I am going to get the front and back wheels and tires. Thats when all of the stuff is going to be here and the burnouts will be magnificent

stage 1 predator and slicks on a wooden go-kart

I have bought slicks and a predator 212

 

[anickode]

You guys might have seen my other thread about my idiotic plan for this homemade go-kart. This one is about the live axle kit and engine

if this thread is about the live axle on engine, why is the thread called budget wooden go kart, with pictures of a wooden go-kart, and the first post talking about your wooden go-kart?

Changing the title in a reply doesn't change the title of the thread FYI. Don't try and backpedal on this because your idea got ripped apart.

 

[Mr_mcrib212]

I made a different thread and it got moved here for some reason

If I do put a torque converter and a stage 1 predator 212 will that make the whole thing fall apart as I drive it
