Re: gocart building

Well I would say probably the most im[portant thing to have to build a go-cart from scratch is to havethe tools nedded to fabricate the chassis. Stuff such as welding, pipe bending, and other odd tools will be needed in the chassis. What would be the best matiral to work with is a metal tubing, you defiantly want to get a good blue print of the dimension of the chassis and the specifications that you want. Also you need to fab up stuff like motor mounts and steering.

Basicly building a go-cart from scratch would be fairly straight forward if you have access to a machine shop.

BTW you can never go wrong with a honda motor! There new line of lawn mower engines is quite nice, cool features such as Overhead cams, and pleanty of HP and torque to get the job done!
