Re: gocart building

the first place to start is a chassis. i helped my friend build his cart and man that thing does wheelies with a 9 hp engine with me on it an i weigh 185 lbs. He bought his chassis but if you are looking for a custom fit i suggest you build one.
As for the engine his is a 9hp snow blower engine and it not a honda and he frequently has problems with it. SO GET A HONDA!!!

Heres a little story:

One time i took his cart out for a ride and i was doing wheelies. i was making a corner and jammed the gas by accident and did a wheelie into a truck. i fell off and it did a few 360's on the motor standing up. it was awsome. in the end we ended up making a wheely bar car it would pretty much flip if we didn't.
