Will these brakes stop a live axle go kart?http://www.mfgsupply.com/gomini/gominibrakes/gominibrakesdisc/4-488.html http://www.mfgsupply.com/gomini/gominibrakes/gominibrakesdisc/212369a.html

Yup.

 

[Go-Kart Maniacz]

and what axle do we get?

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Any 1" axle will be fine, just make sure the hubs are compatible.

 

[Go-Kart Maniacz]

So the go kart is coming along. My order came yesterday which was:
38 inch live axle
60t sprocket
disk breaks
chain
sprocket holder
and axle bearing kit
Pictures will be coming soon!!!
Also tomorrow we are going to finish welding the frame.
And I also have the front tires.
I also have a question about rear tires
I really need help in finding a cheap but durable pair of tires to fit a live axle. Is there a place to get a pair for about 50$?
Thanks! any help is apreciated!

anyone?

Have you looked at all the regular online stores?

Sorry forgot about this thread.
What I meant was to have a keyed axle with tires having a hub with a mating keyway, aswell as using two(2) locking shaft collars to have a secure connection.

Well just wanted to update the thread. The go-kart is coming along nicely. The only thing left is to build the spindles, steering shaft weld some more bars on to the front and back for bumpers. Also I ordered the back tires and they should be here on Friday. I am adding pictures right now

Is it safe to remove the screw that stops the throttle from opening all the way on the predator 212 cc engine?

 

[Go-Kart Maniacz]

anyone???????

 

[OzFab]

Back it off but, IMO, leave it in there. The governor or the throttle linkage will stop it before the big kaboom!

 

[Go-Kart Maniacz]

So do I use two of these: http://www.mfgsupply.com/gomini/goministeering/goministeeringfemtierod/10-8682.html

What is the difference between the left and right ones?
does economy just meen right?
sorry for all the questions

As a generality, yes. But remember- spit happens- and no one is 100% immune to it.

 

[mckutzy]

The economy variants, are just that, the cheaper versions. Go for the regular ones, they will last longer.

 

[Go-Kart Maniacz]

what is the difference between left and right ones? I dont understand how they could be different

 

[OzFab]

Right have a right hand thread, left have a left hand thread. You put a right on the right hand end of the tie rod & a left on the left hand end of the tie rod, that way, you can adjust the toe without having to disassemble the whole assembly, just loosen the lock nuts & turn the tie rod...

 

[Go-Kart Maniacz]

so it would still work with all left or all right but I wouldn't be able to adjust the toe?

 

[OzFab]

Correct

 

[Go-Kart Maniacz]

Ok thanks for the clear answer!
