I have this go cart that I'm thinking about buying he says it needs a belt which I have and am gonna put on when we test and also some adjustments on the brakes. I told the guy 350 since he's bringing it from 2 hrs away.

It looks like a Tobmberlin crossfire mini buggy with a atv swing arm- looks cool, but unless you get a larger axle sprocket it might have pretty sluggish take offs. $350 including delivery- well that is up to you...

The trike??? well again- I wouldn't bother with it. Crappy welds and ruined two vehicles with the build. It was probably a drive in trike attachment (california sidecar) for a motorcycle and maybe a pitbike??? JMO

Price is location specific. It could be $800 in California and $200 in Nevada. You have to compare it to things in the same area.

Basically, it is worth whatever someone wants to pay for it

you want speed or torque?

go faster could mean accelerate more quickly, which this thing will NOT do with a small sprocket.

go faster could mean have a higher top speed, which this thing will have, but it will take FOREVER to get there, and have crappy acceleration.

To be clear, faster does not equal more fun/excitement. Have you ever driven a stick shift car/truck? Try starting it in 4th gear and see how fun that is. You burn up your clutch, and it wont go, even though its "faster" too bad go karts like this dont have multiple gears, so you are left with

1) deal iwth it and burn out your clutch, and have a crappy driving experience unless you have long stretches to maintain your speed

2) regear to a lower speed and have acceptable accelleration.

either way, this go kart has been modified likely choppped the end off and put a chinese 4 wheeler rear end on it. Doesnt look safe. Way too high. Probably super loud with that tailpipe on it, and i personally would avoid it. In short

this thing will have no balls, tip over easily, burn the clutch up, and piss off all your neighbors because its really loud.
