Looks fantastic man! May I ask if you are going add any suspension bumper stops on the front A arms and the rear swing arm?

Thanks
I'm not planning on bumper stops unless I have to. With a 68" wheelbase I won't get to wild with it in the rough stuff " hurts flipping end over end "

That kart looks sick! You must be chomping at the bit to get out and ride it

Did something not so smart yesterday, took it for a spin flinstones style with string attached for throttle, wanted to check steering and it seemed to work out ok . The swing arm amazed me the way it absorbed the bumps, I think it will work out good , I sure like the smooth ride. No more test rides till floor and brakes are done

Well I got the floor and master cylinder installed but I had forgot to get more brake line so couldn't finish. did some more test runs , changed gearing to 6.25:1, with the 780 series clutch with 30% overdrive it could be a little lower yet . worked on getting the engine dialed in, had to run with the choke partially on and come to find out the jet that came with the stage 1 kit was smaller than the original.
The way I did the steering the outside tire turns a little more then the inside when cranked hard over, was a bit concerned about it but it seems to work good , only option would be to make shorter pitman arms but then the steering would be to stiff. if you think about it when turning hard with a bit of body roll the outside tire is the one doing the work anyway.

For the most part it's finished

got it painted couple weeks ago, handles good and a nice smooth ride

i want one really badly. any chance on selling one without the motor?

 

[tazmannusa]

I would have to build you one so I would need to know what stage of completion you want and for what engine then I could give you price ?
