Thanks!
Newbie question Robron Rocket Roadster
- Thread starter opsman64
- Start date
Here is a twist referring back to an earlier comment ... the front spindle is approximately an inch above the frame and the rear assuming 1X1 boxed would be an inch under equalling a 2" difference front to rear with same size tire / wheel is that normal with karts? I looked closely to the rear and it has definitely has been sanded. It 'could' have been where a 1X1 was mounted.

There seems to be a typical high rear/low front stance on many classic go karts of this type but it is not wildly exaggerated. There also seems to be in some karts larger rims in the rear, smaller in the front, but again not drastically. Something like 4” rims in the front and 5” in the rear for example with tire sizes to match...
It’s not impossible that the previous owner flipped the spindles to make it sit lower. On purpose, or a mistake, it happens when things are disassembled and put back together incorrectly by a neophyte. Avail yourself of all the photos that the internet can provide to prove or disprove the way this kart should look.
On another note, I clicked on a link for Robron Inc that was posted on DIYGK many years ago and the link “works” and the page loads but quickly, in a nanosecond, it diverts to a page saying “click here to prove you’re not a robot” and it asks for permission to keep you updated. Suffice to say, the answer should be heck NO. I smashed the screen shot button to get the below image. Anyway, I wonder if Robron is still around....
