i have a lot of hills near my house and i want to build a go kart that would drive me around what size sprockets should i use? i want it to be fast and also have it go up hills ... can you help me?
I ran a 250 cc Suzuki supercart and I can tell you they are all solid axles. your right about cart differentials, most I've ever seen will handle 8 horse. way under the 66 horse my 250 made(yes, 66 horse on a dyno)
Well then it's a good thing I don't have kids, huh?
If you know of a gokart differential that can take the torque of these electric motors, I'm all ears. I've never seen a gokart with a differential, but I wouldn't say they don't exist. Where might I find one? The kart shown weighs 325 lbs with batteries, and the newer one is over 500 lbs. The 500 lbs kart carries 300 lbs of batteries, and it's been clocked on the GPS at over 60 mph. It goes okay. See my newer vids.
Each bearing has two set scews that secure them to the axle. I have to keep an eye on them, though - I've had them loosen up in the past, causing the axle to shift and the chain to fall off. That's one of the maintenance items - I check bolts and fasteners from time to time.
so the axle doesnt move just the wheel?

ten tooth motor sprocket . What size is the axle sprocket and what is the tire size? what's final drive ratio?

Look for manufacturers supply on the web. They (and many others) sell gokart parts. I think Northern Tool is another place.

Oh, and the brake is purpose-made for gokarts, and it's hydraulic. Works great, but with the controller's regen braking, it's barely needed.

How do you prevent the axle from sliding from side to side?

I use a place called manufacturers supply on the web. I can't put a link here, but google would find it.
