im working a my first go kart time thing. the reason i say thing is becuase its not really a go kart but more of a racing lawn mower tho it will never see the track unless its by buddys yard.


kinda what it will look like but im going to be using 1" by 1" by??" (what ever thickness i should use) square tubing.

but for the live axle i am planing on using this kit

with a 1" axle like this one. i dont know what lenghth i want it to be depends on the frame i guess.

for the axle i was thinking i could find or buy rims that dont bolt to a hub and just put spacers like my other lawn mower has but the chain falls off that one when doing drifts and stuff in gravel so i cant have that lol.
i will be building up a hf greyhound gx200
i will be putting the following on it:
26lb value springs
roller rockers if i can find them
14cc head ported and polished
billet rod and fly wheel
gx360 carb ( or a better one?)
k&n air filter
2 stage header
a nr 274 marine cam heard it has a sweet grunt to it.

im going to haydays on the 10th so if u guys could let me know of anything that would work better with this build let me know so i could look around for it. im hoping i get a sweet deal on a tav.

I back R97 here saying that's a racing chassis with some nice sheet metal work. Although I prefer the look of rivots or pop rivots over the bolts. Just my opinion.
