I want to make a longer frame with the engine in the front of the kart having an exhaust and drive chain line lead to the back because I want to turn the back into storage (little carry-ons, backpacks). I don’t want to build the go kart to exactly how it is shown, but with a few adjustments. Dear KartFab, Been eyeing your plans for quite a while (6 months). If I remember correctly, with the 18″ tires properly inflated, there wasn’t much room left between the frame and the widest part of the tire, I want to say 1″ – 1.5″ – Have a look at the drawings – they are to scale and completely accurate, so you can judge just how much room you have there, or just look at the videos and pictures I posted on my live axle plans page to get an idea of about how much more room you would need (id say if you got an axle 4″ longer than the one that comes in the kit, you would be good).
That will not work unless you make the kart wider just in the middle (which will cause a safety hazard as you shift the center of gravity dramatically), or if you use a longer axle. Thanks for the free plans and I’m sure the frame will last forever. Instead of using 1″ square tube, we got 1″ angle iron from a friend and welded it together to make square tube. We did not originally buy the go kart parts kit we just bought the parts separately and found a few from some friends. We used your free plans and were planning on using the centrifugal clutch one wheel drive setup but decided to put a torque converter and a live axle on the original frame.
