Off-Road Go Kart

I pulled out a frame my dad and I started over 20 years ago.  My kids and I are going to finish it.  We made the frame from scratch and my great aunt upholstered the seat.  I hae an old air cooled Rotax 250 for the engine.  The live axle, wheels, pedals and tires were all purchased back when we first started the project.  I'm redesigning the front suspension, and next we will make the roll bar and engine mount.  Hopefully we will have it all done come summer time.

no it's a swing arm.   
I have bearings that bolt in the arms and shocks and springs for it, everything here is just mocked up. 

I have hubs that fit the wheels and tires in the pic, but as this evolves the quad hubs and wheels may be a better option.  This is what I learned to weld on when I was 12

you mite have to make it one wheel drive. I had go cart with the same size motor on it and with both wheel lock it would just go straight. I had to take out one key way so only one wheel drive. add some weight to the front it may turn then.

Well they are here if you decide you want them!
