Pretty neat, Looks like it would have alot ground clarence to me i guess it depends on what size tires on the rear.

Did you fill in all the holes in the stock chassis?.. WOW.. that is a clean looking frame with no holes..

[supermod]

I made a jig to make my own set of spindles today so when and if they bend I wont be out $100 now am just waiting on my end plates from ec them I can get this rolling I built them to 12 degrees  

[Mr Goodwrench]

I'm just curious how much theses things weigh. They look top heavy but yet very stable when racing. very cool!

[supermod]

i weight 260 and with me in it its like 600 they are really stable there awesome when i race i feel really safe

[rednec410]

[supermod]

im on hold into i get my parts from ec front end plates are back ordered sucks

[rednec410]

thoose things are cool, what did the frame come off of or did you make the frame

Where running a noram star series clutches I buy the 18 teeth and I buy pulleys at a local farm store and it fits on an 18-tooth perfect and weld away

[Old Goat]

I make my own spindles, also, but I don't think it's a good idea to weld the end of the sleeve (the end closest to the threads) to the bolt. Weld the bolt to the kingpin housing, slide the sleeve on and weld it to the kingpin housing, but not to the spindle bolt, and then weld the brace to the sleeve and the kingpin housing.
Whenever you weld around the spindle bolt at the end of the sleeve towards the threads, you weaken the spindle bolt.

Supermod,

Buddy, you've inspired me.  Thank you for your efforts in this thread!  I'm looking for parts...  

a) If you could change a few things, for the sake of ease of build, what would they be?  Even if it made the kart in-eligible for your rules?  As in, what part of the build do you find to be the most complicated, and could that be improved? what would make the build easier and even more fun?

b) are you aware of any similar build threads from within your group?  even if not here?

c) where could a guy source a set of rules that might explain things like size of the body work, etc? to get the correct look that you guys have going on!

d)  I see most are running the steering column behind the engine, not over.  is it a rules deal, how it has to be for fitment, or a personal preference?

Totally appreciate your time, Thanks,  
-Bob

have to agree with Jim on this, weld the sleeve to the spindle barrell, but dont weld the sleeve to the spindle....also if you dont weld, it leaves a nice register for the hub to fit against...

I'd really like to see some build rules for these machines
