Simple ladder frame chassis, rear mounted engine, seat in the middle, steering assembly in front and most imortantly of all A ROLL CAGE!!!!

I’m planning on building a dune buggy or a go-kart (haven’t yet decided) with a 250cc 4 stroke engine, but I’m having trouble finding an adult chassis/frame. Where can I find one at a relatively cheap cost? I’m willing to look at other deals over my budget as well.

I have broken my mini stallion to drive with the use of a friends easy entry cart, but she needs it back and we are ready to have our own anyway. My husband says that they look easy to build and if he had blue prints he could build me one to save money since they are so expensive. Does anyone know where I can obtain building plans for a mini size cart? My horse is 33" tall. Thank you

Taking or finding a picture of a cart and then scaling it to the size you want may be the best bet. For example if you wanted something with 15" tires then you could take a picture of a wagon and scale everything to size by the tire measurement. Ask your husband if he could make a cart off a picture or let him use your friend’s cart to get the correct sizes of tires, length and width.

the engine is new and doesn’t fit the frame, and it doesn’t match the mount. will a 5 dollar butane torch hold the bottom of the engine to the frame?

something like this…

i’m not sure if my frame is steel or aluminum, and i’m not sure what the bottom of the engine is either. That says it will melt aluminum, and i looked online to see the melting point of steel which is around 1500 average, and that gets up to 2375, so in theory it seems like this would work but i thought before i bought everything, i would get some more advice

or any other ideas how to mount this to the back of my gokart (cheaply)?

thanks!

This little e-bay torch looks like a glorified cigarette lighter. These are used to melt low-temperature solder when joining very small electrical wires.

Don’t be so lazy. Buy a small 3/16 piece of hot rolled steel and make an engine mount and drill holes to match the motor and and kart frame. Bolt everything together with adjusting slots. Geepers, the motor is probably aluminum and the kart frame is probably steel. What happens if you could weld the motor to the kart? How are you going to adjust the chain drive? How are you going to remove the motor for something bigger and better. You’d better learn how to decide what parts are made of what! Find a machinist on your street or town. They could teach you in ten minutes what metals you’re working on.
