Hey guys im new here and i have some questions that you might be able to help me with.

Im thinking of buying this kart and doing a rebuild on it and i was wondering if it would be possible a good deal.I want a really cheap cart.

1)Should i get it or make one from scratch?

2)If i took if for a rebuild do you think,would this work ok?

I plan on painting it,making some body panels,adding some frame reinforcements,getting more hp somehow,getting a good set of tires, an exhaust system and a real seat.

3)Where is it legal for me to drive those?

4)Is it better to buy a good one instead or work on that? Making one from scratch might be too hard for a first project.

5) Where would i be able to find sheet metal and a gun to weld? Also if you know good sites for parts let me know.Thanks

Its got 5.5hp honda engine and goes for $180.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

 

look for a used shifter kart.....they are designed much better, or even buy one with no motor, source your own and fab up some brackets etc. . .

 

Ya just buy a real kart, I think if you drive one you might not even want to modify anything

 

Buy something better suited. My brother and I both used 100cc karts (no motor) I payed $350 for mine and he payed $600 for his. We bought 2 "honda clone" 200cc 5 speed engine on ebay and made custom brackets/motor mounts. They are really fun for parking lots and can get up to about 60mph maybe more with diffrent gears..

find a used racing kart. you can pick up used rollers for less than $500. like said already, they're designed better and you'll find out why they are so popular.

I've got maybe $1500 in this one. I got the frame for $300 on ebay. it was a complete rolling chassis minus motor and seat. Add a $200 ebay special motor and for $500 you got yourself one hell of a fun toy.
