Looks like you could make a cooler frame for cheaper .

2 seater with Single wheel drive.

I like it. Not a bad price for a 2-seat frame with rollcage and running gear. Nice, tall, beefy wheels and working brakes! Throw a clone on and go!

I am thinking of getting that kart myself when i get my taxes back. Ive talked to them and it has a live axle which you cant tell by the pic. I think it would be a good one to play around on...

Good to hear it's got a live axle. Might be a good kart for the money.

Bigger is better. Most people under power their kart from the start. I would go 5 to 8hp.

Yea I would put a honda gx200cc clone on it since it appears so heavy.

 

[modelengineer]

I would go at least 7.5hp motorbike engine (110cc or so)...

 

[dragracing1213]

To me that looks kinda heavy I think a Tecumseh 6.0HP would work for it but if you wan't more power and some more speed I would go with a Tecumseh 8HP. Overall it doesn't look bad...I have something similair. Just my opinion

 

[s0me1namedkyler]

where could i find honda clones?

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Tool sales
Harbor Freight
Ebay
Many places that sell engines

I would definately go with the larger engine, if your worried about being too fast you could always change the sproket.

Or you could grow a pair.
