"Old" cartoon about racing go karts?

Sunday Jul 4, 2010

Ok so back in the 90s, there was a cartoon about these kids who race a go kart. There was a boy and his friend, which might’ve been his girl friend. I don’t remember much about it, so if you know what I am talking about..please leave some details, the name of the program, or how I can find out it’s name. Thanks!!!

Go-kart/ Dune buggy blueprints or plans?

Sunday Jul 4, 2010

Go-Kart/ Dune buggy plans or blueprints?
I want to build a two person go-kart with a 250 cc to a 600cc. Looking to get one to do some off roading not much but also work around the yard and land i have like pulling out dead tree branches and things, maybe to drive to and from my hunting standing and or without a deer in tow. Anyone know of any plans i am a welder and know my way around an engine but building a chassis is not in the knowledge yet.
Also i would like to have a short wheel base and a width of about 4 ft if not less…

Pulling trees and such you may want to consider a 1600 ish volks motor.
or using a FWD Mid engine design.

But the thing about buggies/sand rails is that in almost all cases you can save a lot of cash finding a complete one then building one from the ground up(works for many vehicle builds).

But then you loose out on saying you built it.

Now you can buy a complete frame(or copy one) then throw something like a manual rack/pinion steering setup with a basic sway coil over design. And most of these can be found by a (google) buggy/sand rail or race car search.
The designs will change but find what works and copy it.

For a off road buggy. You may want to start with a sand rail frame and fab in motor mounts for a FWD engine in the passenger side. No t case needed. The limited slip will give you a little play but for the most part you will have a very light weight 4wd buggy that can pull your stuff around without spinning the wheels all over the place.

Whoops missed the two person thing well it can still be done you just have to position the motor behind the passenger with the drive shafts between you both(covered of course).
Goodluck

HOw Much Are Cingular/At&t prepaid sim?

Sunday Jul 4, 2010

HOw Much are They if i go to the Store Cingular or Go to the Mall? What do you think is cheaper Store or Mall( the Cellphone Karts) and Do they sell them Seperately jus The Sim card because i have they phone. Also would it be in my area code because i live in Santa clara Ca 95051 and my area code is 408. So would the Number still be in the 408?

If you need to replace your sim its going to be $25 they will assign your current number to the sim card and off you go.

If you need a new sim and a new number your going to be looking at the same charge its a standard charge no matter at the ATT store or at the mall


How to build a go kart?

Sunday Jul 4, 2010

Ok so me and my friends have decided that we wanted to make a go kart. And not one of those crappy go karts made out of some 2x4s and a lawn mower engine, we want to build a go kart with a steel frame and an actually engine.

We can probably build a basic frame our selves along with the steering axil but the one thing we know Absolutely nothing about is how to make it….go. We need to know what type of engine we should get and what else we would need to make it start.

Note that we are only 15 and can probably only get a couple hound red dollars (at the most we can maby spend 800$ on it but we REALLY dont want to).

It can be either gas or electric ( And also can someone tell me which is easier to make between a gas and electric go kart).

Also if you know of any site with detailed and easy to understand plans about how to attach the engine to the frame that would be very helpful to as this is our first atept to build a go kart so if you can be as deatialed as you possbly can on the price, were to get it, and how to attach it. Then that would be very helpful.

Thank you

ps: If you have alot of information about go karts feel free to email me and tell me anything that might help us out.

I think a gas cart will be easiest, but you need to use a horizontal shaft style motor (from a rototiller for example.) Generally the motor is mounted on a plate welded between the frame rails, with oblong holes to adjust the chain tension.

Other than that a google search for "go-kart plans" turns up lots of hits. The diygokarts one looks simple enough – it doesn’t seem to need bent tubing.
