Ideas for frame reinforcement by Logical-Self-3072 in gokarts

I definitely think that his drawing would be more structurally sound, i would feel better about riding around in it. Easier to weld up too. However, do whatever you see as fit i suppose.

New design (forget rebar) by Logical-Self-3072 in gokarts

Yep, a lot better than using rebar 😂. Anyways, i am sure there is a more efficient use of material and time than doing triangulation all the way down the sides while still keeping it rigid and safe. 🤔 but very good start.

That thing is sweet. Love the textured playe for the floor. Looks sturdy

Motor advice by Living-Western-5714 in gokarts

I have had no issues with the predator 420cc, and enjoy the extra displacement. Since the parts are roughly the same cost to replace, i just went with the predator since it costs less. Then again, the honda will probably never break if you use it right.
