YAY! Gopedude isn't gonna die! Or at least his odds have been reduced down to the same level as most of us. Just remember - no cage means no belts. Always use a helmet. A neck collar ain't a bad idea, either. BTW, if you need to move the pedals just drill another hole. Put 'em where you want 'em and adjust gas & brake linkage as needed. Good luck & have fun!

Yeah i want to get a full face helmet. The pedals look like they are at the very front of the frame, so i dont know how much more i could move him.
After putting herbie through some harsh tests, this happened

Long story short, my parents made me wait a month, so i havent been posting. It will be july before i get one.

Dj: no need to bash me. I understand you think that herbie was a good idea, and i have abondoned that plan, so there is no need to keep bringing it up. I tried it and failed. Time to move on.

You seem to miss the aim of my heckling. When you stop listening to advice, though you constantly ask for suggestions, I stop taking you seriously. You seem to escalate your idiocy with every post.

But im not sure whats worse... the fact that you continue to persist with things even though people are practically jumping up and down screaming that it is a bad idea with potential death risks or that fact that you seem to get off on the negative attention.

To me, you are a little kid who is acting out on a public forum for attention because you are not getting the attention at home. Either that or you are a troll from another forum who is just doing this for kicks. I still have not decided.

Seriously, if you met me in person, I am probably one of the nicest people you know.... unless you act like the above.

If you havent noticed, i have seized the idea since page 15.
Im not a "troll" and even though im younger than majority of the members here, im difinitely not doing this for attention.
I wanted to try some ideas that i had in mind, and thats why i was ingoring some advice at first. I wanted to SEE if i could make a wooden gokart for as little money as possible.

You are the "troll" here, and please stop making me explain my self, as i have already done multiple times in previous pages.
