I'm sure there's specific terminology for it, but what would it take to convert my kart from being a single drive wheel to 2WD (is that called a live axle?)? We have a lot of elevation around our yard and the single drive wheel doesn't quite have the drive to work effectively while trying to go up the hills.

These are just a few. They should get you started on what you will be needing.
Maybe post some pics of your kart so that we can see what you are working with. One of the members might have the same kart as you, and can give you more ideas.
