Thanks for your timely reply,

I look forward in seeing more of your project. I work as a research machinist in a University and I've always wanted to build a Go Kart for myself but with my nephews in mind as well.

Anyway,thanks again for sharing. By the way you express yourself, you must be a teacher. If not, you would make a great one!!

I'm just a regular guy, but I'm known to talk a lot. I hope to show that it's not so hard to do something like this. I'm not a pro welder or machinist, but I learned enough to build the kart. It's also a helluva lot of fun.

I hope you don't mind if I ask a few more questions:

Will you be showing how you did all the wiring?

Will you be showing how you made the steering mechanism? I was also wondering how the acelerator/brakes pedals were fabricated. Thanks!

[wires99]

I'll be showing all that. I'm a little slow right now. I purchased the pedals and adapted them to the kart. The steering parts on the original kart were purchased, then welded and bolted in. I think I'll be fabricating more of the steering parts this time.

exacty what kind of motor are you using and how much does all this end up costing?

[wires99]

I'm using an Advanced DC Motors separately excited DC motor. It's basically a solid golf cart motor, and I'm overdriving it by at least 30%. In order to build one like this, plan on spending around $2000, less if you can fabricate parts and scrounge cleverly.

pretty neat. the angle is 135 degrees though, not 45

[ripperarn]

forget the chalk/markerboard and just show a step by step real assembly

Hy, seams your drowing of Neurotikart on the website is not working, can you please fix it ?

With the super-cheap batteries I used, I get about 30 minutes of hard driving. Proper deep-cycle batteries would probably do better.
