Title: rHMT gokart
Post by: turbostd on March 03, 2010, 11:16:45 PM
So I traded a old p4 computer I had for this thing. Its a 2 seater and has shocks all around. Its  supposed to run but needs a belt and brakes. No idea wtf im going to do with it lol. Im thinking of putting a bigger motor on it but idk. If anything its worth a lot more then the computer i gave for it haha. (sorry about the crap pics only had my phone with me when i looked at it. still need to figure out how to get it home lol.)

Well I go the thing home yesterday. Fit right in my buddies jeep lol just had to take the cage off. I just went out to look at it and for the hell of it i wrapped a rope around the starter thing on the flywheel (pull starter is broke) and one quick tug the thing started right up  :evil: My cousin said he hasn't messed with it since summer so it must be a good motor lol. The motor on it is a Subaru/robin not a techmusa like i though it was. Anyhow it sound pretty good. The steering is really tight on it for some reason unless you lift the front off the ground so i think the king-pin bushings are bad. So to be ready to drive the thing needs

1: a belt
2: king-pin bushings
3: 1 front tire
4: brakes
5: a pull starter, although it starts so easy with just a rope wraped around i wont worry about this too much.

Anyhow if i get board with it woping 6.5 hp im going to put a snowmobile or bike motor on it or something. I do have a geo metro sitting here i might part out if the frame is bad. I was thinking it would be cool to build a sub-frame and use the geo motor/trans/suspension on the back of it  :evil: :evil:

Good bye steering, at least with the skinny pedal pressed.

I wire/tune an F23A1 powered rock crawled buggy on Wednesday.   I think it's a great idea.

ya my fab skills are not that good so something semi-simple would be best to start. I was thinking like maybe a snowmibile motor or something would not be that hard. or maybe a small-is bike motor.

Friend of mine wants to start on a d-series crawler/buggy if he ever gets all his other projects done. Plan is to use a z6 and obd0 auto trans. he has the motor/tranny and a set of axles out of a toyota truck i think lol.

My gokart had a baby  :o  traided more usless pc shit for this thing lol Im too fat and dont fit in it but a neighbor guy offered me $100 when he saw me unloading it from the hatch haha. Looks to be home made or made in shop class. has a running 3.5hp? b&s motor on it. I think im gunna sell it to fund parts for the other one.
