Thread: go karts

just wondering if anyone out there is into go karts. im looking at maybe making one.

I made one from a kit when I was a kid. It was a lot of fun. That was 40 years ago so I don't remember all the details.

Man, I've been thinking the same...just a wilder version than most. I'd like to make a "wild" version with a sportbike motor (say 600cc) for off road/sand bars and dunes.

I once heard about a guy that put an FZ750 engine in a Honda Odyssey frame with some mods. it sounded neat but i never saw it myself. If odyssey's weren't so hard to find it wouldn't be a bad starting point. There are probably lots of frames out there to start from for all i know.

I've been seeing quite a few of the odyssey like go carts (side by side) being sold around here and am hoping to find one that has the motor blown or something. then I could just stretch it a little and it would be done pretty much. I'm patient & will find one some day or another...

i was thinking about making one from the start. i was just wondering if anyone out there has ever done this also.

I've tried to research plans, but they all cost. You can find "hobby" go cart plans free out there, but nothing with a suspension...that I could find anyway.
