Starting my new go kart....

[elvergon]

Sup eveybody, I just started to make my new go kart...it has a 5 speed and somewhere between 12.5-17 HP. from a 125 cc honda cargo (a motorcycle here in Mexico). The frame is made out of 1x1x.125" square tubing. 1" rear axle (haven´t bought it yet). Hydraulic disc brake from another motorcycle. No suspension (Im planning on trying something new just like racing karts having the same steering geometry so I wont need a differential for sharp turns).

Just some pics so you can see. Ohh...there are no plans I just advance if I like what I have.

Enjoy!

Just curious why you didn't use 45's on the corners, it would look cleaner?
Do you have a design in mind or is it design as you go, I do it both ways.
