What type of go kart to build?

[imnotan00b]

Hi guy's

I'm getting an old burnt out quad bike chassis with shock's,brakes,gears etc
I have a 200cc engine some front wheels and some back wheels with tread.
So i'm wondering what type of cart to build as i live in the suburbs around Perth,but also go to my auntie's farm in Boddington (my cousin's got a dirt track for his dirt bike and quad.
Pictures of your go karts and/or designs would be appreciated.
Suggestions welcome

go to google images and look up go kart or some variation of that.
choose the one that you like and enlarge it, then copy it to microsoft word, pages, whatever you use. print it out and use it as a building plan, it is important that if there is some part of the kart you can't see you should get at least a rough idea of what it looks like.
just an idea, its what i would do, good luck

Keep the front end entirely intact as it was designed and stretch the body out a bit and use the one large rear shock to mount a swing arm. The front end was professionally engineered and the steering and suspension are made to work well, keep them as is if you can.

I'm with Redsox... Mostly... Don't get too carried away stretching the length or you'll end up with a long, skinny thang that likes to roll over.

Hey guys i found a design i like,does any one know what it is?

I reckon it's not a bad design but even if i build something simpler than that,i'd still probably base the designs from that.

Why don't you just tell us what the design is? It's a bit hard to guess, like saying "I'm thinking of a number, guess what it is"

Who built that quad kart? He was from Aus. It's a short name that's escaping me .
