I honestly don't post in here as much as I should, but I'm starting to gather the parts needed for a buggy / kart build.
This is going to be something like a go-kart / mini-buggy. I already have the following:
- '87 Suzuki GSXR 750 motor (complete)
- Parts scavenged off old go-kart:
- 36" wide x 1" axle
- wheels and tires (want to go bigger though, up to 18" tall tires)
- Butterfly Steering wheel
- Front bake calipers from above Suzuki
Right now I'm working with the engine / axle combination. I want to get that set before building the rest. The rest should be easy.
I'm looking for a 530 hub and sprocket for the 1" axle. While I'm at it, I'm also looking for a hub and disc brake. One where I can use the hydraulic calipers I have scavenged.
I'm taking a look at hydraulic pedals this weekend and other odds and ends.
Where could I find a good heavy duty sprocket and hub? I want something around 35 - 40 teeth to give me enough low end grunt. I'm not looking for a speed demon. I've entered those numbers into the calculator and that's about right.
I've searched high and low and haven't anything I liked yet. Most stuff looks cheap and easily broken.
Thanks!
