@BuilderDude15 sure, but this go kart has suspention, also the guy who built this kart has upgraded it since this video. This video is almost three years old.
Hey buddy! =) I really like your cart. Very very cool. And great work by the way. Thanks to T-man I now know about you and have seen your videos! Rock on dude and keep up the good work. Hope to talk soo. PEACE! (oh and I subbed!)
@smallenginemods it took me a while but i found a wheel that had a keyway in it so since the shaft is keyed and the wheel is kayed (the brake is too) its all connected.
I don`t know if you have considered it or not but a torque converter drive would give you more take off and top end, but, I know it cost more. I also built the personal tracked vehicle from the plans that you may have seen on here and I made alot of changes on it.
I just purchased the two seater plans, it has room for tons of improvements that I plan to make, only to make it easyer and cheaper, It`s easy to do when you have plans, I built one of my first karts 30 years ago with no plans at all by my self with a 350 motorcycle motor on it, to bad we didn`t have camcorders back then, I didn`t thank I would like the three wheeler but after seeing yours I like it, you did a good job...
Looking sweet.. Looking forward to see it with the Honda on it if your still planning that.. And a remark on the 98% I'm guessing it would be due to 100% being perfect, and as thermodynamic laws set it, nothing can withstand forever thus being imperfect =) So yea gj idd, keep it up!
@bobmamipoko - Same thing here. I did decide to do something about it however. I am currently building the frame for mine, its modeled after a Campagna T-Rex. Waiting on a 850cc engine for it. Its about 8 feet long, not sure of the width or height. Trying to find sheet metal right now to finish off so its not just a metal skeleton. Full suspension! I need the engine and a few other parts that go on the inside first before sheet metal body goes on though...
oh man your killing it. that thing is geared way higher. If you took that thing on a downward slope holy shit youd get about 50-60 mph. the only problem is the lack of tourque. let me know how it goes man!
sweet man. just make sure you put things together before you weld it to see how its going to fit and everything. you should film it when your done and send me the link!
a better idea would be to be more prepared and just make the front part of the frame longer? i think what i might do it build up a bumper type thing just so my feet dont get crushed if i hit something
oh absolutely. they are probably the best way to make a go kart because it gives you lengths and angles for each piece you need. also it gives a list of the parts you need to buy and roughly how much they should cost. if you want to make one right it is well worth the money for the plans
hey my kart has the same wheels as you. im taking welding and a go kart would be a great project! Ive never actually built one before. im getting a project bike from my uncle for free but theres no welding required in that. if i dont build another kart for a welding class i may take, i may make my 3.5 hp briggs engine and weld it into a giant wheelable 4 stroke chainsaw/watermelon smasher!
thanks...i was really disappointed with the engines performance but since it was borrowed i couldnt complain much. i am getting an 8hp honda ready to be used fairly soon
What was the total cost, Because i am thinking about ordering the plans for the 'tarantula' from Spidercarts and i want to know an estimate of the total price and i figure this would be about the same cost.
i haven't calculated the total cost yet and I got a lot of the parts for free like the engine so without and engine you would be looking at around $500 Canadian
in the plans it gives a parts list with an engine included in the price, its just over $1000 us but that includes a hydraulic brake and other more expensive parts.
that looks fun, you did a great job....I also might add that when you get that 8 hp you might also go for a little larger rear tire, more hp/cc + larger rear tires = more speed , OR you could go with a COMET centrifigal clutch/ torque converter on it too...more hp/cc + cen. clutch + larger rear tire = awesome take off and speed...its up to you
thanks for the input man...i dont think i'll go with a larger tire in the back because a already had clearance issues with the tire hitting the motor but i'll see what happens when i modify the frame.
My go kart is just like that go to my page and check it out...and its way better trust me

Is that what is known as a "Scorpion"? I saw a website called Spider carts who sells a plan for a kart that looks just like that.
