here's my first post with a short story
Well I bought a frame this summer (wanted to build a kart for a few years now)
and lets just say the welds weren't the best (the sad part is I have a welding degree and knew they would not hold up but I drove it any way)
to make a long story short, I kinda lost control of the kart when the steering wheel welds gave way also removing my kill switch, lucky for me my deck was there to stop me (see pictures below)
so I have decided to rebuild the go kart basically from the ground up, I'll post some pictures when I get a chance to take some (I am by no means documenting the build)
My rebuild is basically to scrap the hole kart and start over, I am shorting the wheel base, and stiffing the frame, and not to mention putting proper welds on it.
anywho here's the old kart and the wonderful breakaway deck.
and my fav
