Our 17HP 200cc 5 Speed Build

[Go Kart NZ]

Ah yes please that would be great. I am also going to modify my Drift Kart, making it longer and so-on.

Be careful, think before you act, and make sure you have deep pockets..

But most of all, have fun.

Yeah well I`ve got quite a bit of Money Saved up and I think I`ll use the original motor. Just maybe lengthen it, proper steering wheel, pedals, and new seat.

Muffler the louder the better.. not sure yet, still working on how to get the header pipe out of the way... hits on seat frame.

True, but you may regret it when you start to notice everything is quite

Ok, a little time over the weekend to start on the rear frame support, also moved the motor more towards the middle..

 

[rushking19]

Awesome, i love the way you did the frame support

Hi, what size piping did you use for the frame support?

 

[Go Kart NZ]

Hi, 38mm x 1.6mm (1.5 inch dia)

Just make sure you can get the engine out of there when you are finished. You don't want to weld the thing in. Otherwise....great job!!

 

[Go Kart NZ]

Yep, motor lifts in and out easy, that's why the center brace is offset a little.

Cheers mate thanks

 

[Go Kart NZ]

Sitting on all 4 now...




Next step connecting the 2 rear frames together by means of a shock system

 

[landuse]

Dang that looks nice

 

[Go Kart NZ]

Well, thank you Sir, we try our best...

 

[java230]

A single shock between the top and bottom loop by the engine? Look at mountain bike or snowmobile shocks/struts.

 

[Go Kart NZ]

Yes, already had that idea, but sounded to simple, no fun in that, but yes that is what we plan to do, will use the same shock as already used on the cart on the swing arms, will also place a 3rd one in the middle behind the seat, just because it would look good, "High Tech"

 

[Go Kart NZ]

Ok, had to modify the rear frame on one side to allow movement for the motor, and started fitting the rear shock connecting the two frames..

 

[rushking19]

That looks so amazing, great work
