If you look in the introduction section you will see im a new member and know nothing about Karts. I want to build something similar to the one in the photo, its purpose is to teach new tail wheel pilots control and how to avoid ground loops.
It will have independent brakes probably disc, a tailwheel off a Piper Cub or similar, electric variable speed motor, rudder pedals connected to the tailwheel, some way to connect the motor output to the front axle, appropriate size wheels and tires.
I have no idea what I need specifically or where to buy them, I was thinking maybe an old golf cart motor and controller. It doesn’t need massive top speed, maybe 15mph.
I'm really looking for suggestions
