Hey everyone, me and my son are going to be starting a project together, we bought a go kart monster truck earlier last year and never really knew who made it until recently. The body was severely busted and broken up but the frame was still in good shape. With this go kart I will need some help from the more experienced members, there is a faint sticker on the steering shaft that says “Action Performance Companies INC”. I’ve never heard of them and I thought this was an older model Carter brothers truck, but it wasn’t. I haven’t found much info about it at least how I typed the search. We found a different truck body a few weeks ago up in West Virginia (worth the drive), but this one fits the road karts, ones low to the ground for asphalt/concrete driving. Please let me know what info you guys have to help us out.
Parts list so far…
Lifan 212 electric start
a set of 2 charging coils
sprocket hub adapter
Vevor forward/reverse gearbox
new 30 series Torque converter
ignitionswitchpanel

The tan body is a Subaru Brat. Keep the Chevy truck body and repair it and make a new roof. That’s a cool cart an I’ve never seen one before like it. The full floor board is unique. Post the pictures directly instead of that hidden stuff. Hellion can tell you how.

The Chevy body is some type of plastic. Not fiberglass. I plan to keep it but I have no idea how to repair plastic. The tan body has some real bad cracks in the gel coat but that’ll get fixed once we get the frame cleaned up, I am also going to have to give the body a body lift of sorts, since this wasn’t a direct fit, I’m thinking of some flat bar, maybe 3-4” tall to clear the tires.
