The Begining

hey guys i was wondering if this kinda of drive/ brake setup would work with my cart... seems abit more simple then a live axle and i might be able to get a burn out out of it... :arf:


got it off google.

thanks,
Eric

You mean 1 wheel drive? Dont do that, just go with live axle.

somewhat... just looking for opinions though since the cart is gonna be to front at a PR parade in september want to see if i can find a way to get a decent burn out from it :arf:

but appreciate the advice kaptain

I doubt with a belt tensioner clutch you would be able to roast the tires. Besides 1 wheel burnouts are lame

lol i wouldnt try to do a burnout with a belt, id burn the belt instead of the tires it'd be chain driven dude. besides i dont mind 1 wheel burnouts on a go kart , be kinda funny i'll leave the real burn outs to my z you know.

Wait, how could you do chain drive? Though you couldnt afford a cent clutch or tav?

With the brake on the other side you will get some tight turns under power. Left one only.

its only entertaining when they crash

i'll stall the engine lol. unless i can make a front wheel hand brake system but that seems like too much work for a cart.

update!!!

i have the base of my frame its 61.5" long by 24" wide. so i sat done with a friend looked at it for a while and will be taking the roll cage advice.

but a 61.5" long roll cage is huge! so i thought i might cut my frame length about 9-10". so instead of it being 61.5" it'd be 51-52".

also you guys said that a roll cage has somewhat of a bridge affect right? I'll sketch something up and post it up for some opinions.
