Frame question

[anonymous]

Ok I want to design an off road go kart that has a frame just like this, but I can't find the dimentions of it. Any suggestions on what they might be, or what I might use?

That thing is HUGE!

yea I'm a big boy, so I need a big cart

Is it just me, or does it look like it has no suspension. Now thats fun!

(Its always better with smilies)

Well I was thinking of having a suspension setup similar to the suspension on this:

If your going all out(like you seem to be doing) might i suggest independent rear suspension, or at least a swing arm.

Yea I was thinking more along the lines of independent suspension. Anyways, you have any idea of what the dimensions of the frame might be?

looks like it was set up for volkswagon front and rear, more of a full on sandrail. i had one. it was like 20' long but mine didn't have the back seat

You could always make them up, keeping a similar porportion.

Yeah, that's a sandrail. This is what's called a mini rail or mini buggy. Odyssey and Pilot-style offroad vehicle for one.

Google "mini buggy plans". You'll see lotsa ideas. Good luck!
