A go-kart is a small vehicle with a simple design, a small body build, four wheels, brakes, and an automotive engine. It is also known as a kart, a gearbox/shifter kart, and an off-road buggy. As difficult as it looks, they are somewhat easy to build on your own. It will be a very interesting project for you and your family and friends. You will spend lots of bonding time building something useful together. But before you follow the step-by-step guide below, be warned: Building one requires time, special tools, dedication, and money. Always measure the steel materials twice to make sure that the specified length is correct.

Never use welded pieces for the main supporting parts. Use a pattern, a template, or a guide to make sure that the shape of the A-Arm is accurate and equal all over. Weld all joints and pieces together well. Use steel clips to keep these pieces from moving while welding. Use the right size of nuts to lock bolts.

Do not forget to put a washer in between of each nut and bolt. Join the ends of steel tubes to avoid warp and wear. If you're one of those people who really love to assemble things, go ahead and build your own go-kart from scratch. Buy every spare part after hunting for the best price. An alternative to buying your own tools is to have an automotive shop fix the parts as needed. It might be costly, but its a real time-saver. You don't have to clean the mess inherent in fixing your own parts, and you won't make noises that often annoy neighbors.

You will need a special place for your project. That place should be dry, roomy, and well lit with a concrete floor. You'll also probably be working on this project for three to six months, so a part of your garage is the obvious choice. Are you really ready to build your own go-kart? Let's start and gather the spare parts you will need. Two Types of Engines for Go-Karts:.

Air-cooled engines—cooling is provided by wind when the kart is moving. Water-cooled engines—cooling is provided by fluid that runs to a radiator. Air-cooled engines are smaller and simpler, so they will do better for your go-kart. But air-cooled engines are not made to run in one place for a long time. Water-cooled engines are heavy-duty because they can keep running without the risk of overheating.

But the water system of this type of engine should be properly set up, or your engine will get in trouble. Motorcycle engines—these are the most adaptable and flexible engines for a go-kart. Whether a 2-stroke or a 4-stroke, a motorcycle engine of any size is a very easy fit. Lawnmower engines—these are low-priced and always available. They have enough power, even though they're a little bit slow. These engines can produce more torque which can set your vehicle in motion. Leaf-blower engines—these and similar engines from other small machines are less complicated than the previous options and can be bought in stores.

They are not cheap though, and you need to install a clutch. Snowmobile engines—snowmobile engines are quite inexpensive and easy to come by in some places. They have a lot of torque, but they do not perform well during hot weather.

Car engines—these are too heavy, too pricey, too big, and they produce too much torque. It is possible to build a go-kart that uses a small car engine, but you need to set up the original transmission, clutch, and other essential parts to make it run smoothly. Variety of other engine sources—you can also find an engine in a chain-saw, generator, moped, water pump, rotavator, or an old go-kart. You can bring all tasks that need professional attention to a reputable auto mechanic shop. Never attempt to do something that you do not understand fully. Engine parts that need to be fitted and steel frames to be cut, drilled into, or welded together should be done with some expertise. You just have to make sure that everything is done according to your specifications.

If you have a welding machine, a steel-cutting machine, or any other type of machine, and you would like to try your hand on them while building your go-kart, be sure to wear protective clothing and gadgets such as a welding helmet and face mask. You also need to work in a comfortable and well-ventilated area. Steering shaft—this begins at the steering wheel and ends at the bottom with pitman arm. Spindles—these are also known as axles when in the front of the vehicle. The spindle is the steering connection to the axle. Tie rod—this connects the pitman arm and the spindles.

The tie rod dictates the amount of 'toe in' for your vehicle to turn corners well. Pitman arm—this is found at the bottom of the steering shaft.

When you turn the steering wheel, the steering shaft also turns, and the pitman arm attaches to tie rods to push them towards the desired direction. Most vehicles use large tires at the rear. You can find different sizes of wheels that fit the 4.10 x 3.50 from major auto parts suppliers. Standard sizes for bearings are 5/8' and ¾'. Take note that the size 5/8' has axle bolts that fit perfectly on 1-inch tubing.

Best choices:. Ribbed tires are more resistant to traction and to wear than the knobby type.

Tubeless tires require tubeless rims. High-speed bearings are also high-priced, but they have better performance than the low-speed and cheaper standard bearings. Four Types of Brakes for Go-Karts:. Scrub brake— these have metal paddles that are pressed against both rear tires when the brake pedal is pressed. This brake pedal can be transformed into a hand brake but can put a lot pressure on tires. Band brake—these are simple to fix and relatively cheaper but won't work well when wet. A band brake uses a metal band to squeeze around the outside of a brake drum to stop the motion of the wheels.

Drum brake—this swells inside the brake drum to restrain movement, rather than controlling from the outside. Drum brakes are better and more durable than band brakes because they don't get wet often. Disc brake—this is the best because it provides superior stopping ability; but its also really expensive. You may use the drive sprocket as a substitute for the brake disc, but it needs to be cleaned often to work properly.

A chain and sprocket are popular for the drive assembly because they perform better than the pulley system. They are also simple to set up and a lot cheaper.

For go-kart applications, the following chain sizes are good performers: #35, 40, 41, and 420 pitch sprockets. Large sprockets (or drive sprockets) have better low-end power, while small sprockets (or engine sprockets) give higher top-end speed. Small sprockets tend to weaken the low-end torque of a vehicle. To help improve its poor performance, you might want to add torque converters. Go-karts with the single-wheel drive are common choices for the do-it-yourself enthusiasts.

It is easier to put in because one-wheel drive assemblies are sold in many car parts stores. The rear wheel, sprocket, and brake are put together as one part. It costs less and saves time. The single-wheel drive (also known as fixed axle) runs better on hard-packed dirt and asphalt roads. It runs a chain from the engine clutch directly to the drive wheel, where a sprocket was set up, so the other rear wheel spins freely, and the axle does not move. Drive wheel assemblies are available in sizes 4', 5', and 6'.

Two-wheel drive vehicles are also popular, especially to those who drive off-road. Two Ways to Upgrade to Two-Wheel Drive:. Live axle—the two wheels are fixed straight to the axle, so the axle spins. Since both wheels have the same power at the same time, driving on sand and loose dirt is easy. However, this makes on-road driving and turning are more difficult because both rear wheels are running at the same speed. Differential—this can be added to solve the live axles shortcomings. Setting up a differential will power both wheels to allow taking corners without slipping or skidding even when driving on-road.

These differential systems can be bought from parts stores. We have got a project to do in which we need to make a go-cart which supposed to run on some batteries attached to it.

But the problem is that by attaching more number of batteries the weight of go-cart is being increased, which we don't want to be increased. In the name of solution we have decided to use an alternator by replacing some of the batteries among them. As the alternator functions as a battery charger, but I don't know how much time does it take to charge the batteries and how long would the alternator keep the batteries charged. How benificial the use of alternator would be for our go-cart? I would be glad if you people suggest me upon this issue!! I luv go carts.just not this one.

I also like pickles and cheese and birds and citrus fruits and printers!!!! Hey pal, want some germs???? (Inside joke) Anyway your go cart is ok.

If you could make it better that would be nice. Its like 89.9% good. Make it better and you could be on Americas Got Talent!!!!

But pretty good my friend!! I LUV LETTERS AND NUMBERS! Btw you should add doors and a roof or hood. And if you could, a radio. I would by it for some extra zeros if you know what im saying.

While I was reading this, I was trying to come to a decision which frame I should get from the store I visited earlier today. I had to choose between a small, awesome, orange kart with a nice roll cage and everything I looked at seemed ok except for the fact the guy said it needed a lot of work.

The second choice was just a beginner simple main frame, front axle, rear axle go kart w/o roll cage. After reading this, I automatically made the decision to get the simple cart and just maybe add stuff to it including new tires and eventually suspension. I know you probably won't reply, so I just wanna say thanx.:).
