Red Fox LXT/Manco Dingo Brake System?

[JaySki74]

My dad and I are currently fixing a Red Fox LXT, and are trying to figure out how it all goes together. We have installed a new Predator 212, and a Bravex Torque Converter with it. On to our problem with this: We purchased a new manual brake caliper for it (This:https://www.gopowersports.com/manual-brake-caliper/, The stock brake that came with the kart but was broken), and need help figuring out how it goes onto the kart correctly and connects with the axle.This includes connecting to the pedal, and the way the brake sits in the bracket. We just want some pictures of completed karts with a similar setup? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There should be a bracket on your frame that it fits in. It's usually set up as a floater , so look for a C looking bracket. You need a disc that rides in between the brake pads. The disc mounts on the axle. A brake rod or cable connects to the arm and then goes to your pedal....
Use the search bar to look for pics of your model kart

I'm trying to turn my yellow dingo into a red fox because i never fixed my red fox before I sold it, also I love the color scheme of the red fox lxt. my dingo runs a disc brake and manual caliper ill post a picture after I take one.

Awesome! This is exactly what we needed. Can you also send us a picture of the axle mounting and how you have it mounted to the frame? We need to get it attached and see what kind of clearance between bolts and what not that we have. Thank you!

Quick update, we were able to figure everything out last night and got it running around the yard! The only issue is that the brake rod we have is about two inches too short to reach the brake caliper, so we’ll have to fabricate something up for that. Thanks again for all the help!

Cut a strip of flat bar and bolt it on as an extention
