Thanks Jim…appreciate the input.
I may have loosely used the term “bash around in my backyard”. I don’t actually plan on jumping this thing or bashing into trees…and I realize they have no suspension.
I’ve got a nice smooth (for the most part) track that that I can grade out if the ruts get too nasty.
I absolutely plan on putting something larger than a 6hp on it!
Maybe I’m seeing this all wrong but whats the difference between building a kart from this style of frame as opposed to an Outlaw dirt oval kart that runs on a CR500? I don’t plan on putting on a CR500, I’m just saying they run those karts on dirt and they are rigid as well. With taller seats and a roll cage. They also run dirt karts just like these sprint karts in Australia with larger motors.
I think if parts are going to be a major hassle though…it’s not going to be any fun and I’ll scrap the idea.
Thanks again!
