Go Kart Frames

go kart frames

Go karts are a kid’s best way to challenge their racing ability on any circuit. The best way to determine which kind of go kart frame you will need is have the person who is going to be driving it sit down and have you draw the frame around them. This will help ensure that they are comfortable while driving and riding; a chalk outline will help you with the measurements. A wider wheel base will make a more solid go kart frame, if you just want a street go kart then allow for a wheel base that give the driver more control. If you want a racing go kart then you will need to design a roll cage.

Cut out the tubing and lay it together, you will want some flexibility but make it solid so that one side does not suffer stress and cause the rest of the chassis to break apart. Use a tubing notch to make sure that all the pieces fit together and that it’s sturdy enough to hold an engine and steering wheel. Keep a solid center of gravity, the driver must be safe if you decide not to install a roll cage.

Once you have pieced the frame together you will need to weld each piece, if you have a metal inert gas welder then you can construct a sturdy solid frame. Once you have let all the welded pieces cool down have the person who is going to be driving sit in it and note any stress factors and correct them.

If you are new to go kart frames you can visit a local track and see how they are constructed, they might even have some broken frames that just need to be fixed and you could save some time and money that way. Building a go kart frame can be fun and if you want to see how the better ones are built many times the mechanics who service these fun machines will show just how it’s done. Keep in mind that the person who will be driving must be comfortable in the driver’s seat.

If you plan to race go karts then you will need to have a better understanding of the circuit and which type of chassis are the best. A hand built go kart might not be the best in this type of environment; you don’t want an accident with a poorly built cart. Check the rules before submitting your kart; the whole premise is to have fun but to be safe. Different frames are designed for different kinds of tracks. Dirt, asphalt, and concrete put stress on frames differently, make sure you have the right frame for the surface.

Comet Torque Converter Electric Go Kart

admin — Sat, 01 May 2010 03:10:55 +0000

The drive side didn’t push out the belt completely until the motor was hooked directly to the batteries through relays first through 24 volt and then finally through the 48 volt relay. Go kart has a homemade frame driven by a 36 volt caterpillar motor if anyone recognizes it please tell me the model so I can find the specs. Its controlled by a 36 to 48 volt Curtis controller that just doesn’t have enough umpff to power this large motor it is only used for taking off then I use the relays to accelerate. More videos coming soon.

Manco dingo 285 5.5HP ohv go cart

admin — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 04:34:07 +0000

Another one of my dingos, named the “pride cart” because it is purple. This is the newer of the 285s. it has an updated frame, sports a seat belt and is supposed to have a full cage. Like the path winder, it uses that OHV Tecumseh motor, though this one seems to run better. It also has a different carb than the path winder, which apparently is good for 0.5 more hp? sure, why not.

Go Kart Project – Part 5

admin — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 03:27:55 +0000

Here I have installed the hoop for the steering column and tied it to the front end with side rails. At this point the frame is still very light. Next I need to add some diagonal structural ties between the top side rail and the bottom side rail and from the steering hoop to the main roll bar hoop.
