I've just checked out all this thread and that kart is looking good, you lot are very talented to end up results like that, i could'nt even make something close to that, it all looks very professional. Cant wait to see more. Some one earlier mentioned a BCF DVD, can some one explain to me about this, whats its going to contain, where can i get it from etc. Cheers and good luck with the project.

I've got a GSX 750 motor just waiting to power a 'kart. But I'm torn between on- and off-road designs, so I'm moving towards a modular 'kart. It would have the engine, seat, pedals, etc all mounted on rails (something like what you guys have) and the front/rear wheels/suspension would be interchangable.

Another idea is to offset the rails in relation to the wheels, so that the main part of the frame is shifted to the right some, and mounting the seat tilted and next to the engine (like the gsx1100 kart)

What I want to know is why you are using the *huge* metal tubing you have (at least it looks huge, whats the actual size?) instead of something a little smaller.

Right now I'm just brainstorming, but I'm hoping to start work sometime in April.

Thanks

It's 40x40 square, some 4mm thick (the two long axis beams mainly) and other bits 3 and 2.5 mm depending on their importance. It's our first kart so a lot of it is probably going to be much thicker than it needs to be, but we're really newbies to this Very Happy

With the motor you've got I'd definitely go off road - maybe something beefy like this:
https://www.tonysbuggypage.btinternet.co.uk/garden_front_left_l.jpg

I've got some rough designs for something similar from a while back, before we decided to just build a track kart. All round independent suspension, all round disc brakes, cage of beefy tubing and a big torquey engine. Muchly cool Cool

Hopefully ours will make some headway soon, we've now sourced the front stub axles & brackets and aquired a bandsaw. Though after being stood abandoned in the garage over winter it needs a good going over the exposed chassis to clean up the corrosion and the engine could do with being started. Fingers crossed.

At first I thought that was your kart, thinking "damn, its come a long way." That is a pretty bad-ass kart though. However, if you check out the pics of it it action https://www.tonysbuggypage.btinternet.co.uk/buggy_in_action.html, the front suspension looks like it could use another A-arm.

Also, thats way more complicated than a road kart. I'm pretty new to this as well, although I did have a 10hp kart I ripped my arm open on (engine too far back, no steering, hit a bump, front went up, arm went behind seat, came back missing a chunk of flesh. i think it hit the chain, but i'm not sure. no blood anywhere on the kart) I didn't do much of the building on that. I considered using the frame, then looked at it again, and scrapped that idea. Bad memories Wink

As for the steel sizes, I guess that seems pretty reasonable. I had to get out a ruler so I could visualize it, I'm not too good with the metric system (although I prefer it heavily from using it in chemistry class). Square tubes seem to be the way to go, I think I'll save round tubes for my next kart. Now I've got to visit a steel shop and see how cheap I can get pieces to play around with (well, its that or another trip to the dump to see what I can get for free Very Happy)

Thanks for the ideas!

on second thought, i was talking with my brother in law last night. The engine is actually *his,* so I figured I should run any plans past him first. He said the engine should get about 105hp (its pretty recent, electric fuel injection and everything), and the best thing would be an off-road kart. So now I'm trying to find the frame of my old RC buggy so I have something to model off of. In the meantime, I'm looking for an old 2-wheel drive toyota pickup to strip down and beat the shit out of :grin: He thinks I should put tractor tires on it, raise the clearence a little
