and experimenting. oh i wish i could but due to budget, i prolly have one shot to buy the right things,
Differentials are completely unnecessary for go-karts. A sprocket from the engine to a sprocket on a solid axle. It is easy to mount a brake to a solid axle too. So it sounds like you had the right idea to begin with.
