pedal buggy-I think it could be done! the GX240 needs a good steel mounting plate, I haven't seen the pedal buggy but I'm sure it's pretty light weight metal where the chainsaw motor wouldn't need much structure to mount.
Back in 1984 I bought a power wheels truck for my son, after a few months it was trashed(plastic wheels wore through), I put a moped engine (I believe around 36cc) in it with regular go kart racing wheels & slicks and turned my 5 yr.old loose!!! 6mph (battery powered) versus over 20mph with the gas engine> short wheel base + sharp turns = rode rash!!! The seat belt only held him in place to get more abuse when it rolled. We still laugh about it now that he's grown.
