@HoLLyWood2171 I got it off ebay a while ago. The dont sell powermax engines anymore. They are called duromax now. I think it was 380 shipped but that was a while ago.
dude i love it, i like how your not sitting so dam close infront of the wheels or even infront of them. very nice balance your not to far forward or back and the suspion looks like you could drive the thing off a cliff and it wouldent hurt it
@happyman199 I cut the back of the original frame off. Welded a some tubing across the frame where the cut was and the back part which is now the swing arm. I then found some tubing that bearings with a 3/4"ID would fit nice in. I cut 2 4"ish pieces of the tubing and welded that to the swing arm. That would be the bearing carrier I then cut some flanges with a 3/4" hole in it and lined them up to the carrier and welded them to the frame. Found a 3/4" bolt long enough and it was done.
@happyman199 I ran out of room on other reply but check out my video walk around of it and you can see it better. I added 2 idle sprockets welded together and used one of the 3/4" bolts as a pivot for a jackshaft so the chain stays the correct tension through out the suspension travel Search "My suspended go kart video walk around! " for my other video. It shows it pretty well.
You didn't watch the video. If you think this is a stock manco dingo then you are to "unaware" about go-karts to comment such ridiculous comments. Swearing on things you aren't even sure of? You must of had a hard child life. Watch the whole video before you comment please. I could just delete your comment but now the world has seen how pathetic you are!
Also you should paint your kart. It would look bad as hell if it was painted a light teal or a blue with black wheels. You should check out house of kolor paint. It's DEATHLY EXPENSIVE (I'm talking like $520 for 1 quart of there custom prism color) but it holds good and it looks amazing. Plus the clearcoat is very durable and is guaranteed scratch resistant. Keep up with the build man.
I'm talking about like the looks. I mean you no disrespect so I'm sorry about anything that was rude. Also you should have kept the roll cage over the engine on. It would look even sweeter with that roll cage on. But anyways good job on the build and I'm probably going to resort back to this video for the steering and front suspension.
And besides I don't even have the motor on it yet. I'm only on the painting and frame work and creating custom engine mounts. So if you really wanna see it, it's just a frame painted a metallic brandywine without tires and a motor sitting in the background.
@somecooldude777 Well it should be sweet when it gets going but how does mine have nothing on yours when yours dont even have a motor mounted in it? Just think your comment was rude. Keep us updated when its done. Take pictures of the process like I did. Cool seeing custom work as the build moves along.
Man ur go cart has nothing on mine. I own a 98 dingo almost exact copy of what you had to start with and Im putting a Kawasaki KZ-650-C1 motor on the back. U think ur 16 hp motor is alot but once I get those KZ-750 Cams for it and drop it in I'll be running 70 Hp. I'll post pics of it after.
I made it from scratch of the top of my head. I dont really have any plans for it other then the pictures in the video. Sorry, wish I could help more.
I had a 230 quad sport and it seized up. I have heard of others with the same problem. I would avoid that engine if possible. I think the oil overheats and breaks down if revved 2 high for to long.
but i have a 1985 lt230 quadsport that im taking the motor out to replace it with a rm 400 2-stroke enginr but it runs good and iv never had any probems with it because since its so low geared and its a four stroke your not saposed to wind it out too much because itll doo that its the same as all four strokes but any way would it mount in ok because i want to use it
With the engine/sprocket set up, you may have to lengthen the kart some or possible have the engine mounted next to you. Other then that it should be a cool engine!
It been a good engine. You cant go wrong with the price. Starts right up in all weather conditions. You can get the 16hp with electric start for about 400 with free shipping. It is no longer powermax but duromax. Maxtools. com or something sells them. If you do a search you could probably find it.
@xljimmy89 what kinda clutch did you use i just built a buggie somethin like yours and i have a normal go kart clutch on it but i wana be able to spin the tire like yours can just reply and let me know where i can find a clutch like yours
I have so much time into it that to sell it I would have to ask an unreasonable amount. I really plan on keeping it. It is currently sitting in the barn with no motor. I have a 30hp rupp tr340 twin engine I want to put in some day. The engine that is in it here is in my attex 208tt. I have videos of it too. I loved building it but my true passion is in amphibious atvs or aatvs. Such as seen at 6x6world . com.
Flat out it did something near 40 I think. Never clocked it. Speed is all in the gearing. It was geared low enough to drag a few guys behind it trying to stop it from a stand still. lol
The Goal I had was to keep it small and nimble. I wanted it to go into a smaller truck easy. I see lots of rigs whos machines are more mid sized between a gokart and dunebuggy.
It is a lot more capable off road then it was. Flat out it did something near 40 I think. Never clocked it. Speed is all in the gearing. It was geared low enough to drag a few guys behind it trying to stop it from a stand still. lol
Actually the whole axle is stock manco dingo. Rear frame too. I cut it and put in a pivot point for the swing arm. There is a picture of it in the video.
Sweet! Man I'm going to build something like this. I watched a "Building the Go-Kart (High School Senior Project Video" too. So my GoKart will looks similarly like yours or kylemonkey's :D Btw. I've one question. Did the drive is on one wheel or two wheels?
Holy cow 90-95? Mine did around 65mph stock. Beat suzuki 250 quadracer 2 stroke and would keep up with a stock banshee until he hit 6th gear which I didnt have. btw same 250 quad racer beat another dude on a 400ex and was surprised I beat him. Either mine ran better or the other guy didnt know how to ride.
This buggy only did around 40ish but was never really clocked. It is all in the gearing though. It originally was stock but i did tooth it up a tade so I guess 40ish which is slightly faster then stock. Thanks for comment!!!
thats is pretty cool, me and my dad are building somthing similar too that
