must see... stupid go kart THE BEAST IS ALIVE!!! FINAL UPDATE + PICS + VID
hi
thi is my last creation...
the frame is a shopping cart, the engine a honda gx160 5.5hp with a 12 tooth clutch and linked by a no:35 chain to a 72 tooth sprocket. you can see a tractor exaust with cap a aluminium rear spoiler, mirrors and wings around the rear wheels. the brake is disc type ( it locks the rear wheel when pressed fully) . the spindles are homemade and work great. the rear wheels are bearing wheels that i converted to live axle wheels by welding 2 shaft collar to thems (see picture). you can see in one of the picture my homemade keyways, one for the disc brake and one for the drive sprocket. te front bumper is REALLY solid (i tested it by bumping it into our forklift
) . in two pictures you can see how i linked the throttle cable to the honda engine (i had to tig-weld the little grooved rod to the throttle assy) and it works perfectly ! i think it's top speed is around 40 km/h (scary fast in a shopping cart)
i will try to post a video on youtube soon
enjoy!
