That's some really cool stuff you've got there, Porsche! I really like the Jeep kart- I wouldn't mind some details on that, if you please! Also, I'm really digging the CJ-5!

 

[porsche930dude]

thanks! well the jeep kart was a small mid engined lawn mower that i lifted the suspention a bit and put the big tires on. Iv got a 6.5hp tecumseh in it thats got a belt tentioner for a clutch that i made hand operated and its got a small 3 speed tranny between the legs right behing the engine on top which powers the rear diff with a chain drive. It usto have reverse but the gear blew up. i made the frame for the body out of conduit and wraped it with aluminum sheet i got from work for making gutters. its actually a replica of my 46 jeep cj2a. I dont have any good pics of the inside of the cart guess i should take some. I have parts to make the jeep 4 wheel drive too. theyre from a rear steer lawn tractor. Thatll be a bit of a progect.

Man, I really appreciate what went into that thing, It came out really neat! What do I gotta do to get written into your will?

 

[porsche930dude]

lol thats the tip of the iceburg man iv got twice as many minibikes the jeep is actually one of the more poorly built machines iv got. im always tinkering with it getting it to work right. its fun though

 

[Routy]

thats so me in the future, projects for days lol you even have a remote control car that replicates your jeep that is awesome!

 

[Blazkowiez]

That really is an awesome picture, good job dude.

 

[redsox985]

Can you line up all of your current vehicles just to make me more jealous. I love the jeep. Mainly the big one (cj2a).

 

[Bluethunder3320]

i like your little jeep... its the traxxas savage k5.9 right?

well heres my first cart i got today for 50 bucks. already halfway through rebuild of the motor its an old tecumseh.

 

[Chupacabra]

I have a Manco XTK witha 10hp Subaru-Robin. I didnt make too may changes to it just cleaned it up and made a dashboard and a front wind/mud blocker.

Its an awsome cart..

 

[Bluethunder3320]

if it was dirt color it would look like one of those star wars crawlers. lol. just add treads.

 

[Routy]

does anyone have a shredder kart? how does it handle with no suspension on it? will it hold up to a 400cc snowmobile engine?here are pics of what im talking about.their are pics of one jumping but i would like to here from experience.

Can't belive I just found this forum. You guys have built some nice karts, I like to see what others have built.
My 10 yr.old son and I just finished our first kart for his birthday. His first ride was last weekend,I fear it's changed his life.
We used the recluse plans(spider carts) and heavily modified the dimensions. We used a 6hp. Robin,hillford clutch,
13" rear wheels, disc brake, 3pt. seat belt. I will attempt to post some pics.

 

[redsox985]

I wish my dad would have done that! I'm assuming you shrunk down the frame? Let's see that shop, it looks like you do woodworking?

 

[r97]

yea, wheres the shop (lol) you must have some nice stuff to bend that sq tube

 

[Imbo]
