I am wanting to build something out of the box, so if you have any ideas, throw them my way and I may start a build with your great ideas

Some of my previous builds are:
Farm kart
Youth Kart
Race type kart
Drift trike
Reverse three wheeler (single rear wheel with lever steering in the front)

Anything that works in the Canadian snow would be neat. (No tracks Unless someone has plans for some DIY ones)

Send me some ideas of something you would like to see.

Wow, a member since 2010 with only 5 posts under your belt. How do you contain your enthusiasm?


Since we have no evidence you have ever done these previous builds, much less have any notion of your skill level, why would we try to give you any incentive?

Who are you, man?

A belated
..to you then. :p

Not only..


But all the content to go with such is missing. He has some serious catching up to do. Those are prerequisites.

The answer is obvious.
A wooden frame kart.
It's the true sign of ability.
I'd start looking around Dumpsters for 2x4's.
L Braces and wood screws can be easily obtained, as can duct tape for adding stability on those corners.
Once you have the frame built, buy the most badass race motor you can find on evilBait.
Make sure to post pics of the initial voyage.

Make a replica of a 1903 curved dash Oldsmobile. Doesn't have to be as elaborate, but could be fun!

No, no, no. Just a written claim is proof enough. Adding photo(s) would just ruin everything.

I disagree. It should be twice as elaborate! Aim high. Go big or go home.

Definitely the best of the brainstorming here.

Well I didn't realize there was a prerequisite to post to the board...if it is ok with your highness, I will try and explain my history.

Just because I joined in 2010, doesn't mean I built anything during the time between then and now. I viewed many posts, put the important details in my memory for when I had time or need to use the information provided.

Go karts were not on my priority list until recently, and I decided to build a drift trike last winter, then my nephew wanted me to build one for him, with a change, he asked if it could have a steering wheel and 4 wheels. Done! And then he wanted it to have more grip, done. That was my build of a farm kart.
A co worker wanted me to modify his kart for his kids, I had time to do that so I did.
I bought a wrecked kart as parts to build another drift trike, but once I got it home, it was in too good of shape to dismantle.
On my travels, I obtained a pit bike, and I some how thought up the reverse trike idea. It still doesn't have any power plant yet, so technically it is not complete.

Because I didn't document the builds, doesn't mean I didn't build them! I honestly don't care if you think I did or not.

I can build anything imaginable, to a point. I have access to a machine shop, welding shop, I am a mechanic by trade and believe it or not, I can find information on the internet if needed. So my skill level is quite high.

Wood? I could tape a few broken hockey sticks together. I just don't know how to supply power to it

4x4 kart. I'd love to see something like a lifted go kart with 4 wheel drive.

I would like to do something like that. I think I'll have to keep my eye out for a wrecked atv. But higher, way higher.

Don't get too ruffled man. This can be a tough crowd. Tough, but not necessarily bad.
We all eat pics for breakfast, so they are expected if not demanded. Don't feel bad though, they are just as guilty as everyone else. Sometimes you need a a little salt. other times you need a whole salt lick.
Hang in there!
