I'd suggest a big shifter bike/quad/snow mobile engine for your speed addiction...and a bucket seat. Oh, and you don't need as many letters in caps.

3 words. twin engine kart.

 

[The_Machine]

how would you go about linking the right side engine in?

 

[YungVick]

Same Thing IWas Thinkin

 

[KartRacer695]

Theres 2 engine mounts, so how about a twin Engine kart?

 

[freakboy]

Get 2 Old 2 Smokes on there.

pop in a live axle(if it doesnt have one yet 2 sprockets then throw in 2 engines. make shure you have the engines spinning at the same speed or you could loose performance

 

[fowler]

add a diff into r97's plan

 

[KieranM]

yea freakboy is right, you will want to keep the weight down aswell

 

[r97]

oh yea a difff would prob be good why didnt i thinkk of that

 

[fowler]

dosnt this rely alot on finding a clockwise and anticlockwize motor
its 11:30pm here and i cant be bothered working out which one is hard to find

 

[r97]

nope ps normmal is counter clockwise its 12 am here

 

[redsox985]

Just mount them with shafts facing the same side. Rig throttles to work. Or use a dead axle and two throttles and make it like a zero-turn mower. Independent throttle control to each wheel. (That's just a ridiculous idea)

 

[r97]

actualy thats an awsome idea it would help with going around corners to but youd have to keep them at the same speed for the most part

 

[YungVick]

It Already Has And Dead Axle So I Think Ima Go With Da Twin engine With Sprockets On each Back Tire and Two Throttles But Im Still Kinda Confuse About The Right Side Motor Mount

 

[r97]

if you do what your planning on doing youl need an engine that spins clock wise and an engine that spins counter clockwise, the other option is to put in a live axle with one sprocket in the middle(coming from the engine mounted on the right side) of the axle and one sprocket next to the left tire. your third option is to keep everything the same put one engine on normaly on the left side then turn the other engine around but a reversing gear box on its shaft going to the wheel on the right side so both wheels spin in the same direction

 

[The_Machine]

Here's what I'd do - put 1 engine on it

 

[r97]

fora first kart thats prob a good idea but.....

 

[freakboy]

Just cut the dead axle stuff off and then make it a live axle then mount 2 normal turning motors the same way and run clutches to the axle and be done with it... simple effectve and will be done quicker then it will take to find a backwards running motor..
