Well after promising the 14 year old that I would build him a gokart, I finally got around to it. Started getting all the parts a few weeks ago, and finally got the steel.
here is the plan to date:
1/2 square tubing - Yes most people recommend going to 1 inch, but I plan to box anything that isnt strong enough for me to sit in, let alone my 90 lb teen. I have 80 feet, so Im not worrying to much.
Got a HB 6.5 HP motor out the door for 80 out the door with an extended warranty for 2 years. SCORE.
Still looking around for all the hardware and odds and ends.
Plan is to make a two seater kart (1 in front of the other, with the second seat passengers legs down the sides of the first passenger)
Cart will be a live axle, on road kart only.
HF wheels.
I plan on making as much of it myself, and only buying what I cant weld, since my metal working capabilities are limited to welding, cutting, grinding. No lathe, etc.
Going to draw out plans this weekend and post some basics plans then!
Cheers
Lucas
