      Yeah and he would have a hard time selling them . A lot of go-kart manufacturers went out .. no wants them they want quad or side by sides now. And I am welder I have many ideas I don't for a trade .. he's still a new be .

      @@stevenmaines9114 I was going to buy a side by side but the cheapest one was around 10k... So I went ahead and bought 2 mini bikes mod them and I will pick up a go kart in a couples days (all for less than 3k)... Not everybody can afford or wants to spend 7k to 30k in a side by side or quad. The principal enemy of the go kart factories is the production cost. Thats why 99% of the mini bikes and go karts available now are made in China.

    @dansmessygarage289 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Lookin good ! At the 8:30 to 9:00 minute mark you can see the chain get loose. You mentioned the rear suspension still wasn't fully compressed also. The more you compress it the looser the chain will get as your swing arm pivot is far away from the jack shaft. I expect when you trail ride it and hit a good hard bump compressing the rear shocks fully that you will kick the chain off. Perhaps not every bump, but expect it to happen. On the next build PLEASE get the swing arm pivot next to the jack shaft pivot. Using the jack shaft as your rear swing arm pivot is best.

    if you make the rear fork hinge part in two pieces and mount the jackshaft with its bearings and sprockets in between the pieces using the axle for the hingepoint of the rear fork you whont have any slack in the chain not even if the wheel is straight under or passed the engine
    it might try to climb the chain and either lift or drop the rear if you add power
    not sure if it can be done , you still need to connect both halves of the rear fork somehow and make it solid to prevent the fork halves from going up and down independent from eachother and making the rear wheel flop side to side
