Anyone know the axle size for a Manco Baja 200 kart? Trying to get my parts list together once again and maybe finish my project this year.
It is a Baja 200, but the Dingo is very similar and I have always referred to it as so. Yes, I do have the axle, I have attached a picture below. As you can see, the previous owner has welded the drum to the axle and made it very difficult to measure. I’m not sure if 38 1/2” sounds quite right.Eeeeyyy it's Mr. Spindle! Is it a Dingo or a Baja? You say it's a Dingo in the title but a Baja in the post??
Do you have the old axle on hand? Because you could just measure that. But I'm guessing you don't have it.
Sounds familiar. P.O did the same to mine. And yeah, as JT said, 38 should work.As you can see, the previous owner has welded the drum to the axle and made it very difficult to measure.
assuming that I haven't purchased a new sprocket yet, if i purchase this one what sprocket hub should i be looking to get?Measure the bolt hole pattern. Measure the distance between two opposite bolt holes, that's the bolt hole pattern. Most light grade yard kart stuff is 2 13/16" or so.
not a problem, here’s how it looks, done a few things since i got my delivery from gpsHave a pic of the whole kart? Can't wrap my head around how the drive train is set up, what does what goes where goes how.
I geared the kart down to 8T jackshaft 54T axle, just had to cut the engine mounting plate off and move it forward a bit. Having my gear ratio like that makes the kart do wheelies easily. I like how this ratio feels compared to my 9T 48T gearing. The jackshaft flange is fine how it is IMO.Wow. Never seen sprockets quite that close. Do the 10-tooth jackshaft sprocket and the axle sprocket touch teeth together?
Guessing that eliminates having enough adjustment to use a larger axle sprocket for quicker holeshot.
About that TC/brake disc thing.........Great spot to make a caliper bracket out of the way on top of that corner rail.
If not, the right side of the axle has all the space in the world. Just need a pivot rod to cross over.
You going to flip that jackshaft flange bearing 180 so you can grease the zerk fitting?
