Hey I have posted some new pictures in my photo album "cecedog's .....". I think there are about 20 pictures in it right now. Hopefully I will have some...
WOW am I glad I found this group! I've got the bug to build an off- road kart and feel like I've hit the jackpot! Question: I really like the chassis design...
Hey there! So, should the top A Arm pivot point be moved outboard and the kingpin kept vertical, or should the kingpin be slanted (so the top of it is inboard...
... my ... the only problem i see with this is side-loading on the motorcycle wheels. when you turn a motorcycle you lean it over so the force on the tires,...
... angle your kingpin so that it points to the center of the tire's ground contact area. this will keep the contact area in the same place when you turn your...
<gulp> looks like i have my work cut out for me if i want to top that. i like the rear end- you have the shocks tucked in there real nicely, and the heim...
CeCe, The kart looks great and you have a real talent for turning a visualization into reality. Sometimes I find it hard to convert an idea and sketches into...

Mudrider, I broke down and bought my son a complete (almost) FL250 Odyssey. Missing a few belt covers and lacking a lot of maintenance. Going through it fixing...
Sounds cool. Get some pics of it when you are done with it. I have not done much with mine right now because i do not have the money to spend on it, spending...
Are you really set in using u joints. Why not use cv joints which are very strong and very easy to get from a junk yard. But if you are going to stay with cv...
I just finished install of a Star10 built by Batman and a 40 series T/C on my Yerf. I have posted pics over at the yerfdogoffroadcarts group. Link to one of...
Just added a folder called E-Bay Special. This is a cart I built over Memorial Day Weekend. Everything but the seat, sprocket, and chain was bought on E-bay...
So, While we are on the subject, does anyone know what auto has the smallest CV's or the easiest to remove ? I have access to a yard and I was wondering so I...
...and if someone would be willing to share this too - how does one "mate" the CV joint to the center driving shaft (see cece's pictures of the rear drive...
Well what you are going to want to do is get a center shaft with splines in them. Then to keep the shaft from sliding off you could either drill a hole all the...
What's the consensus of opinion re: using a 2-stroke snowmobile engine/running gear for karts? I have the opportunity to buy either a John Deere 440 or an...
Well i can not think of anything to get them from right now but i will think about it. You could if you are really good get two drive axles from a truck with a...
They are a very good option. That is what i am going to use on my racing buggy, but like 600-700c liquid cooled engine. They make a lot of hp and are very...
Thanks for the info .-) By buddy is selling these soooooo cheaply that they are hard to pass up. He has the following: 1981 John Deere 440 $200 1982 Arctic...
Do you have a local motorcycle dirt track/club? Here in Idaho "OMC" (Owyhee Motorcycle Club) sponsors dirt races of all types, bikes and buggies. They have...
