Re: pic: Beginnings of a gokart

Thanks for the pics. I don't think you call that rack and pinion steering because there is no rack, and there is no pinion, but the pictured setup is the type of steering I plan to have.

How many HP is your engine?

The frame setup and wheel positioning on yours is interesting. It looks like you have your legs going over the tie rods. I might consider that. I was thinking of having the tie rods at the very front of the gokart and having the pitman arm and spindles pointing the other way and then having my pedals aft of the tie rods.

I'll have to sit on the ground and do some imagining to see what will work best for me.
