Does anyone know how to Build a Go Kart

Minsu

Well the bike motor isn't all that expensive and I didn't think the supplement parts would go over 1.5 k chassis metal included

The motor is probably going to be one of the cheaper parts. You don't know how to build a chassis, so you need to buy a kart with a busted motor. Then you need to swap the motor and see what other parts fail. This isn't a tight budget project if you want to do it right. If you want to rig up some dangerous POS that comes apart at speed, go right ahead. We know how you feel about taking advice

If that T Rex for 7800 is real I want it lol I coulda sworn they were 30k and up easy

I would be hesitant at that price. It may come in a box of parts but the OP wanted to build one so thought it may be of some interest.

Need to research shifter karts

100 to 125cc is all you need

Friend raced a non-shifter kart....105mph in the straights

I bet you can buy a perfectly good Go Kart at the track. Somebody is getting out or wants to upgrade. They tend to go cheaply vs new. Building a Go Kart might be better after owning one and knowing more about what you like and need.

Cool idea never the less.

I would like to build a Space Shuttle but have no experience with Aerospace Engineering but if someone on here works for NASA it would be great if you stopped by and gave me a few tips.

I've noticed a patern to your responses, but in following that pattern the message is not sinking in. Keep trying I guess

I may be able to help you here.. But first we need to budget about $750 for a used 250cc engine (the minimum required to leave the earths gravitational pull), and another $150 for framework, and body panels. I'll throw in the seats from my Subaru outback for free, and were off. Gimme a holler if interested.
Ps: do you have a fire extinguisher for re-entry?

These guys are giving you a hard time in the process but the message is spot on. Me and my buddies built a cart when we were 14-15 out of a standard go-cart with a 100cc motorcycle motor. Shifter mounted, disk brakes, clutch petal, whole 9, but we had years (even at that age) of cart racing before we tried this.

All the parts were made by us for this project or were for cart racing and the end result had a roll cage and 8"W slicks on the front and either 10 or 12"W slicks on the back with a welded sprocket to the back axle and keyed sprocket to the motor.

It took the summer and we got 1, yes 1 ride out of it, single pass through the neighborhood, turn around and come back, never got higher than 2nd gear and when I got back to the front of my house my mother stopped me and said "take it off" and pointed at the motor. The motor is still sitting in my parent’s garage to this day.

That was 20 years ago.

That much power in 100cc is scary, fun, but scaaaary. I would not attempt it with anything larger without a lot of knowhow and access to parts comparable to what you can cram into a small sized car, proper shocks, way upgraded steering etc. etc.

It's a neat idea, and it’s fun to do, hell it's even fun to ride in, but looking back I was lucky I had someone looking out for me before I really pushed my luck...

Have you seen how fast a 5hp cart can go (granted you can bypass 2k in a hurry to do it), or even the upgraded riding lawnmower motors 13-18hp class? Those things will scat...

Minsu

Hmm I c, I wanted to get into it asap, so maybe I was jumping the gun. I shall research more and make me a mini bac mono haha after seeing that thing in action made me want it so bad
