Multi-Patterned Aluminum Sprocket Hub with 54T #41 Sprocket with 1" Bore Īfter you have pondered a while about the design of your go kart it is time for the construction stage.This stage is pretty simple if you have a decent plan for you design.Torque Converter for #41 Chain, 3/4" Bore.145/70-6 Balloon Tire with Rim (Front).
15 x 6.00-6 Super Turf Tire & Rim (1" Bore), 2 of them.10 feet of 1/8" Steel Cable (for throttle and brake) can be found at Lowe's or Tractor Supply.Bolts and nuts (for mounting motor base to the frame).Odd pieces of steel found around my house off old lawn mowers (such as a engine mount from the pressure washer base, wire mesh for a utility rack, and.
10 feet of 1/4" steel rod (for tie rods on the front end). (These are for the front spindles) Bought these from Lowe's Stock pieces of 0.25 inch steel about one foot, one foot of 5/8" black iron pipe and (2) 6 inch bolts. 6hp Briggs and Stratton Motor (saved mine from a broken pressure washer). 5 feet 1" square tubing (for front end assembly). About 50 feet of 3/4" & 20 feet of 1" Conduit( Metal not Plastic), both come in 10 foot sections. The Materials that are listed are ones that I used on my Go Kart. Radio( Optional, Listen to your Favorite Tunes as you work). Drill Press( Optional), Drill, Various Drill Bits. Hammer, Wrenches, Welder's Square, Clamps, Magnetic Welding Holder, Socket Set, a Vise, Vise Grips & a Steel Brush. Welder( I used a MIG Welder), Flux core Wire or Solid Wire & Welding Gas, Welding Helmet, Gloves. My current frame reminds me of a sandrail buggy just with a 6hp motor on it. Not to long after that, I came to the conclusion that the electric go kart is not for me, so I scrubbed that frame. After a lot of thinking I came to the sudden realization that my first design wasn't going to work. My first and second design was close the cigar car above (my first frame is the last to pics). Anyways, I ended up with a two, maybe three, person gasoline go kart. Then it evolved into a two person electric go kart. I told myself that I wanted an electric go kart that sat one person. I went through three go kart designs (0.0, 1.0, 2.0) before I ended up where I am at now. How is the motor going to be mounted? Where is the throttle going to be mounted? How Wide and how long? What size sprockets do I need?īack to the main question of this step, What kind of go kart do you want? That question right there was the biggest one for and the hardest for me. Use advance math to help design it (I know what you are thinking, Do I have Too? At least use basic trigonometry.) Here are some important questions to consider. Carefully draw out how the go kart will look. I used conduit on my rig, and I never had a problem with the frame. While 3/4" square tubing will run you $30 for 10 feet. Let me tell you a cheap way to get metal, Conduit!! This stuff is amazing, 3.4" conduit comes in 10 foot section for only $3.50. I like to have a good sturdy roll cage in case a holy mole moment suddenly arises. Personally I would prefer to buy metal over wood. What should it be made out of? Wood or Metal?. Maintenance every 5 to 20 hrs depending on conditions. Good for riding on paths and around the yard īefore choosing your location choose how many people you want riding with you. Limited Offroad (Not for rugged terrain). Good for riding through the woods, snow, mud, etc. "Wherever there is a will, there is way." For some, like me, money is a limiting factor that can inhibit our design. There are go karts for every condition you can think of. The possibilities are endless when it boils down to the design of your go kart.
