WELL THINGS ARE COMMING TOGETHER AND FALLIUNG APART AT THE SAME TIME ON MY FIRST BSR BUILD. PARTS I ORDERED ARE COMMING BY THE TRUCKLOAD AND ITS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE I CAN GET STARTED. THAT WAS UNTILL I REALIZED THE GO KART AXLES I HAD ARE 1 1/4" ANF THE FRAME IS SUPPOSEDLY SET UP FOR 1":boxing: . ITS A HOGMAN FRAME IF ANY ARE FAMILIAR WITH IT. ARE THE BEARING SUPPORTS DIFFERENT? HOW CAN I MODIFY IT TO WORK WITH A 1 1/4" AXLE? ALL MY HUBS SPROCKET HUBS DISK BREAK HUBS AND EVRYTHING I HAVE ARE FOR 1 1/4" OR I'D JUST GET A 1" AXLE:rofl: . ALSO I JUST REALIZED THE SPINDLES I HAVE WON'T WORK, THEY ARE THE TYPE USED ON PHANTOM FRAMES AND ARE THE REVERSE OF THE NORM THE U SHAPED BRACKET IS ON THE SPINDLE INSTEAD OF THE FRAME:dizzy: . I MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAKE THEM WORK IT WOULD BE THROUGH A WIERD FEET OF ENGINEERING. SO SETBACKS INTERUPT ME ONCE AGAIN ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Hey man....you don´t have to worry about the spindles you have. That´s the same just the other way (man that explanation sucked). Well here´s the deal, don´t worry about the spindles going the other way, that´s just a spindle variant. Check out RUBICONS nitrous BSR he has the same style you got.

If you got eveyrthing set up for 1 1/4 just modify the bearing supports, that will be easier and better.

Is the frame a go kart? I don´t know much about go kart chassis, but the cassete is the one that determines the axle you are using (I think so). So you could check that out.

If not, the easiest way to go is modify the bearing supports and that´s it
