Building First Kart woah!

You can never do anything for that kind of power for $500. That 70000W (70Kw) Gabriel's go kart, has Zilla 1000amps controller that $2000+ and lithium batteries that $3000+ and you still need a charger. The motor you can pick them up from $50 at any forklift junk and still have to another few buck to do a few trick on the motor.
I have spent a few buck on mine and still have to spend plenty more, remember I'm doing mine for around 125000W (125 Kw). My motor is 8 inch diameter and Gabriel's motor is 6.7 inch diameter.

For $500 you do something just to play around and do around 20 to 30 mp/h.

That ZK1 is rated at 2k amps lol O_O

I'd reckon a couple grand just in the controller... too bad I'm cheap.

Sadly neither the Washington DC or Philly Craigslist had anything. At the moment we still believe we're going to purchase the chassis i posted so that leaves 700 for the rest. I think i need now...
-Controller (100-150 Amp)
- Potentiometer( Hall Effect?)
- Tires( extra 200)
- Seat( +50)
- Chain
- Forklift motor( Still looking for one )
- Battery( the four i posted before for +100)
Anything else i'm missing?
