Sourcing most go kart parts

[IKE323]

Hi guys I am currently living in Perth and would like to know where an I buy these components as there is no offload go kart shops.
I need to know where can you buy an axle, the bearings for the back axle, a centrifugal clutch, chain and a sprocket, also things like the thing that connects to the sprocket and the axle. An of course wheelss

Well yes but without much knowledge of Perth, I can't really help ya out as much and I don't think many other members on here can as well. With that being said maybe just try getting some quotes from the sites and see what the price is. Or do some reasearch for gokarting sites that are closer to you.

EDIT: Perth, Australia? Or in the UK.

Fabroman also lives in Australia so he would be a good one to PM about this.

just be careful, dont take your kart in unless its imaculate, or they will pick out everything thats wrong and make you sad haha, also, some shops only do dirt and some only tarmac, so maybe give them a call before making the trip, but good luck

O yea man the links kartmart are only tar go karts so I think I'll have to scavenge for parts because I am going to build an offroad one

Ok, best to talk to fowler then, his in perth and built a buggy, so he would be best for parts

Thanks for the vote of confidence but, wrong side of the country

It's a bit like telling someone in New York to go to a shop in LA.

There are lots of places on the east coast but shipping would be a nightmare

I think that's your best bet

Sorry for not replying to your pm

I just got it before I went out, then forgot it

It depends how serious u want to get with an off road kart
Maybe post some pics of your designs

Quad bike parts are useful
The quokka is full of newish bikes for fairly cheap
Along with alot of industrial suppliers that
Are scattered around

We should be able to help find what u need if u tell use what u want
Oddly enough there will be little differance in price from a 250cc fully suspended kart to a rigid framed 8hp Honda kart
The more motorbike or car parts u use the easier as many kart parts are going to have to come from the US
Or pay your right leg for a local part that is shipped ex US already

Ok thanks man , I still haven't designed the kart but ill probably go for a rigid frame, but I am thinking of moving to a motorbike engine not sure yet though
