Glad to be here

Hi I'm Tony from Ventura, CA. I just recently started fabricating a go-cart. This is my first 4 wheeler. I've previously built a couple of electric trikes and installed a kit motor on a beach cruiser. I got the frame of the cart pretty much finished with the front spindles attached. I have a couple of photo's to post. What's new to me and a little confusing is the rim/hub nomenclature. ,....But that's for another thread! That's why I joined your site. Forum dialogue seems helpful and knowledgeable. I hope you all won't mind me asking to many wheel and hub questions. Thanks in advance. ***here are some photos of my kart project. The center support and front and rear cross pieces are 1 1/2 inch rigid conduit. The rest of the braces and struts, depending on placement, are 1", 3/4" or 1/2" electrical conduit (EMT). I welded the larger pieces with a arc welder than went to a MiG with the smaller members. My MiG went south so I'm back to stick welding until parts arrive. I'm putting it together when I can afford too. I have the tires (slicks) and only the rear rims. I have the engine. I'm planning on using the B+S from a scraped generator. I believe it's a 18 hp and has electric starting. Should be a quick little ride!

Naa, he's not being serious just "funny" in his own way.

Not "funny ha ha"?

No.
I think he means funny, like in when you come home from a hard days work, and just want to relax in front of the tube with a beer and your feet up, but when you pull into the driveway, you find all your clothes and belongings thrown out the upstairs window and strewn all over the yard, and you think to yourself; That's funny.

You meet all the nice ladies ... I pull into the driveway and find a pile of ashes where my house was

Welcome to the forum. That's a a unique design for a frame. It shouldn't flex, lol. Keep up the good work, and don't mind these guys, they're crazy.

Thanks for saying so. Yeah I guess it is a rigid frame!
