i like how this place is a ghost town so i will rarely get interrupted during my build log.
So it starts like this,bought off craigslist.
Those wheels are irrelevant to fitment of the kart. It was just a deal bonus. Anyways...
I bought Harbor Freight wheels for the front which are basically
soldered at the hub and that where it broke SO i welded the hub on. It isn't pretty but works flawlessy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also bought a tire..1wheel drive as of now..AGGRESSIVE tread..
Not the greatest picture but..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Needed more power! so i removed the governor,put in 18pound valve springs, and a forged aluminum connecting rod, 6:1 gearing and tore into the dirt like THIS:
mind you that was with one wheel drive with and aggressive tire tread at around 5200+/-RPM.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was told gearing higher decreases torque so i wouldn't spin the tires so easily so i did a 4.8:1 ratio:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
4.8:1 gear ratio with a clutch did this up a small incline:
Yet still had more than enough power to dig a hole quickly. one wheel drive and really light weight kart.
