Karts to Go |

I'm starting up an electric car club for my college, and need to build a small scale example of the technology, i'm using a custom tube frame go kart, and need an electric motor that i can put in it. This motor should be relatively cheap, or free if possible. So where can i find a cheap one. (golf kart motors, are crazy expensive already looked at them)


You might try a car starter motor. You can get them at junkyards really cheap.

Never done it, but i would imagine you need to find where you are going to have your mounts at on the engine, then weld in the pieces you will use to the farme for mounting.

Im new to race karting and im 13 is this a good package and i want to know how fast this will go with the Yamaha kt100 engine also is there anything else i need for the kart besides all the proper cothing
