go kart suspension

[gokart14]

I got a question

Im trying to upload some pictures of my Kart and i get to were it says its uploading them, then it just says internet explorer can not display this page.

Anybody got any suggestions?

there jpeg and only 1.58mb each.

All i have is dail up. Could that effect anything?

But them dirt devils look like there easily built. It would be easy to do them a-arms or they look pretty simple to do.

Have you already built the frame of your kart? If so can you get a picture of the front of it?

I have cut the basic frame and laid it out andi think i will start welding this week but i will get a picture a soon as i have one

Ya the main reason i chose this is i wanted full suspension go kart and dident want a double a arm design for its kinda hard to build and this Single a arm design looks really simple
all get a picture a soon as we stasrt to weld it together

Ya, I'm sorry but this guy looks kinda shady. He came outta no where and now posts everywhere that he has parts. I'm skeptical but could be wrong.

At .70 cents each, ... How much can you loose?

good plan. The more i look at it the more it makes me want to build something like that.

I want to know how good that single a- arm would be.

I agree with you on the double A-arm, they are a pain in the butt to build.

And i got another question, i got my pictures onto photobucket (thank you for the recommendation) but i cant figure out how to get them on here.?

Keep us posted and are you building a dirt devil or are you building your own kart based off of it?

I have build both, and for a gokart-buggy machine single a arms are great and they are light. If done right you can get 6-7" of travel, some of the Chinese dual a arm buggys can only get this. If you want a performance off road, fast, powerful machine then go dual a arms.

Your identity? I'd trade mine for 70 cents though. Anyone interested? My SS# = 678-45-2056

I would try buying plans with double a-arms in the plans with dimensions that way you have the difficult part covered. Single a-arms can be home made much easier w/o plans.

Well you still have to calculate caster, KPI, rake and the positioning of your bell crank or steering rack to omit bumpsteer.

guess and test
i just planned my double a arms and the mountings then build it by tacking a peice on then checking it is right then when the whole thing was finished i tested it fully then properly welded the whole thing together

For those who have been asking, YES I do have a web site. We cater more to the race car guys then the karting guys.

I don't have much in the way of karting items on the web site yet. In fact the only things listed now are a few wheels. Since it's such a small part of our business, we just havn't taken the time to deal with it.

Most of our current karting customers come from here;

Wow. No offense but, nice site.

I get how he's trying to advertise "safety" but those crashes make it look like "safety" isn't going to make a significant difference.

[DirtTrackRacer_07]
