I bought this kart back in December 2015 for $150 on craigslist. The guy who sold it to me said the guy he bought it from said it was made by some company that started with an R(I believe, I can't remember). It seems as though it was a production kart, although could have just been made by a more experienced metal worker. Besides being a bit similar to the shiner go karts in parades, I have not personally seen another kart with this style of chassis. It has a jackshaft, differential, double brake drums(not sure if original) and came with a Tecumseh HS50 (as you can see in the picture, which I've upgraded to a predator 420cc since), Although I highly doubt it was the original engine. This is kind of an oddball kart all around, so if anyone knows anything about it, their input would be highly appreciated :)
NOTE: The roll bar was originally shorter, yet was raised by a previous owner, and I had the gas tank rigged up on top for testing purposes.

It is indeed a Go Kart.


Even though that photo is right side up (kudos!), it's still lousy. Doesn't show enough for a positive ID.

Come on now, you have the ability via the spectacular technology of digital photography and the glorious interwebz we've developed to take people miles away from you and basically place them in your driveway--the next best thing to actually being there.

Yes, we like pictures and lots of them. If that's wrong, I don't wanna be right.:p [end rant]
