Vintage Bonanza Racing Kart

Video produced by http://VintagePowerSport.com - Vintage Bonanza Racing Kart. This is a reproduction of a Bonanza racing kart from the early 1960's. The kart was accurately build, matching the unique character of the original production Bonanza racing kart. During the early era of karting, there was said to be over 200 kart manufacturers in the US alone, and they experimented with a wide range of chassis designs. As the 1960's came to an end, only a handful of successful kart manufacturers remained and kart construction moved toward less variation of design.

Please tell me the lenght and diameter of the rear axle on your Bonanza kart.

Thank you.

@FHSOIL ... that is a 1 inch diameter axle, almost all racing karts made in the USA prior to mid to late 70's had 1 inch diameter solid axles. This isn't my kart, so I do not know for sure what length axle was used. Picking the right axle length has a lot to do with the kart setup and the height and weight of the driver. For a kart like this may use an axle that is 36 to 40" inches in overall length, most likely 38". Beware if too short a length axle is used, the kart may flip easily.

Thank you for the information foxkart61. I thought I "Thanked you" several

months ago, but that was not the case. Hope you are having fun with your

Bonanza Kart.
