Manco Dingo Better Ground Clearance

[Kartorbust]

Number of years back, almost close to 20 years ago on Minibuggy.net one guy did convert a Dingo to be on suspension with a swing arm for the rear, double a-arm front suspension. He wanted to eventually put a snowmobile engine on it, but he never updated the thread when he did it.

That forum went dark a couple years ago. Might find the build if you look hard enough through Internet Archive. But you might be ahead getting plans from say Spider Karts.

I'm very unlikely to ever actually do suspension mods to this thing. But a ground clearance lift and a rear axle upgrade and SOME kind of reverse are hopefully in its future.

Depending on what you are doing, could recommend a Trail Boss 350L 4x2 ATV gearbox. They have a hi/lo/neutral/reverse. If you get a 94c Duster and you get the gearbox with the Polaris driven pulley, I believe your belt ratio will be 1:1 when its fully opened, may need to adjust the duster engagement to make sure it works properly.

The High range for the gearbox is approximately 3.5:1, Low range is about 6:1. Reverse I don't remember off the top of my head. Would allow you to run a smaller axle sprocket.

If you don't want to go that route, the Blast LED one is just simple FNR with an internal reduction of 2:1. Can get it option to handle a 3/4" or 1" bore diameter driven clutches, such as the Duster and Comet 700 series.
