Building a Go Karts chassis and frame?

Monday Jan 12, 2009

Stripped out parts from an old car: Engine, transmission, and drive shaft (RWD). This chassis and frame is taken out of a R/C car, but if enlarged would it work for this situation? Would this idea really work? http://img296.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bajaideayd8.jpg

(quick sketch on paint sorry)

If you scale up from an R/C car the chassis will be too bulky and heavy. For a good kart chassis you need strong tubing. Cold worked steel tubing will work but moly steel is better. I would suggest you buy a second hand chassis. It will be better and much much cheaper. Believe me I have built one from scratch, it was not easy.
