Manco/ASW HELIX modifications

[Gocartmansam]

Hi all. Attached is pics of the Helix i bought and decided to do a rebuild on. Cutting new gussets out for the A-arm mounts as someone sent this cart a little too hard before me! Bent the front drivers shock as well, not bad. Still have yet to source any spindles for it as theres slight slop. I cant tell if its from the shock/a arm mount bent weird and causing it or if its the spindle. I think it may be the spindle but im not 100%. ANY AND ALL HELP AND TIPS APPRECIATED

anyone think of some mandatory upgrades for her to be an offroad fun little beast? Anyone have one of these?


my question goes: If the shocks for the front are 13.5 inch or 340mm, should i just buy the same shocks or should i buy some 14 inch for more beef? Should i wait? The front shock isnt too bad…. I have never actually driven the cart so i cant speak on the suspension yet….

You could add bronze bushings and grease zerks to help tighten up the front suspension. Welcome!

My advice is get it running with the stock parts and upgrade (if needed) as you go. It's the only way to see the progression or how improvements improve the base vehicle.
