|  Self built go karts
If you have one lets see it. I'm sure tons of guys on here have em and I was surprised not to see a thread already when I searched. Lets see what you used to build with. Any tips or tricks? I'll post up mine with pictures tonight.... it's still a ways to go but very low cost due to what I got given to me to use!

I am not sure which one looks more deadly to me... First one has a pretty weak looking cage and fuel cans in your face..... Second one just looks like it is waiting to rip your head off  |

Nice. I'd like to see that first one run. My racing kart has a 45 hp engine and it's all I can handle. I'd love to see what 4 cylinders can do...

If you need more ideas google "formula sae" and "mini baja". Any college with a good engineering program will compete in those two. Some of the stuff they make is incredible.

I didnt build mine, but for the little while I raced it was alot of fun. Raced on 1/4 mile dirt oval track. Without the restrictor plate, estimated speeds are in the 50+ MPH range. No roll cage, so if you wreck you fly. Slick tires, average ground clearance is in the 1'' range. Not sure what frame either. Its not a shifter cart, just single speed, centrifugal clutch. The engine is a Wayne's Performance Motors, runs on methanol, 4 stroke, not sure on the HP rating or size (Its been several years since I raced it.)   Needs some work, but with some know how, could easily be made into a top notch dirt racer. Best for kids in the ages of 8 to 15. I am tryin to sell it, so if you are interested, PM me. It does have a brand new red body, I dont have any pictures of it though with the body on. |
