Should I buy a kit or everything seperately

Keep it simple. Here's a complete kit. You just need to buy the engine separately, then put it all together...

Thats an expensive kit! $1139 + $300 (shipping). You can find that kart used for a few hundred bucks.

I’m building the Grand Daddy and I barely have that much into my build.

I'm going to hijack this thread for questions related to a live axle swap - The kit comes with wheels that are keyed, is it better in the long run to go with hubs vs the keyed rims?

Keyed hubs are way better for several reasons
1. Usually the hubs are common 4on4 pattern, which opens up much more wheel choices.
2. If there's rust, the wheels can be removed without many issues compared to keyed wheels.
