Rear axle?

[JDMac]

I am looking for a live rear axle setup for my go kart. The frame I bought came with an f-ed up rear end so I "get to" redo it all! It may seem like I don't want to, but I really don't mind doing that.

I have a wanted ad on craigslist for a go kart axle and got an email today about this one. He said that the tires aren't in the deal. I emailed back asking for a few more pictures and some measurements. I am wanting an on road kart. How easily would this work? I know pictures help, but aren't as good as really seeing them in real life. I will keep you updated on the emails.

I know this is considered a "Differential Axle" and there isn't a need for brake and sprocket hubs. Correct? It would be cool to move the sprocket to the other side and get a brake disk for the other.

moveing the sprocket is as ezy as picking it up and flipping the hole thing over.

You will need to put brakes on both sides to stop both wheels or you will just end up dragging the 1 wheel with the brake. Something to think about.

Or you could just walk to the other side of it an and not get your hands dirty!

Or you can just buy a keyed axle and some hubs
