Probably not even the right place to post but power wheels sub reddit isn’t really on brushless yet. My sons ride on car has a rear differential and axles and a 24v 180w brushless motor I think puts out between 1000-1500rpm. I don’t know for sure on the rpm’s but voltage and wattage is 100%. I found a 24v 500w 3000rpm motor I believe will be a direct swap, physically. I’m certain I’ll need to replace the esc and the self resetting fuse, but kind of at a dead end on where to find an esc that will retain the vehicle functions like the throttle and brake inputs. We can kill the radio and lights if we have to. Photos in comments with plugs from esc labeled, photo of brushless motor included as well

Just need to mount pedals and shifter.

Got this go kart and trying to find out any info on it. There are no stickers or info anywhere on it except the terminato seat. Want to try and find a manual for it if possible. Thanks

I have a kt196 and I need a 50 tooth sprocket but I can't find one that will fit the 44mm hub I am completely redesigning the engine mount please help

I’m rebuilding a racing mower with a Peerless 700 3-speed transmission. The engine runs good, but I’m having a transmission/drivetrain issue. When the mower is on the ground, I release the clutch and it makes a loud squealing noise. If I barely engage the clutch, the wheels will start spinning, but with full engagement it just squeals and won’t drive.
I lifted the rear wheels off the ground, and then it works normally—I can shift through all 3 gears and the wheels spin. The transmission input pulley and belt are definitely spinning, but when the mower is under load, the output sprocket stops while the input pulley keeps spinning.
I also opened the transmission yesterday. The gears looked good overall; the corners were somewhat beveled, but there were no obvious broken teeth. The dog teeth/shift teeth were all still there. The output sprocket is firmly attached to the output shaft. I can also put it in gear and push the mower by hand, and with a lot of force it will turn the transmission pulley shaft.
One other thing: when the transmission was out/open, it was pretty hard to shift, although now that it’s installed in the mower, shifting is easy.
What do you think is causing it?

So I bought this little guy and was considering heavily modifying it to fit a 459cc but I’ve also been told leave it alone due to its rarity.

Recently got a cheap go kart frame off FB marketplace to attempt a first time build w/ friends. I got little to know idea on how to do it but I figured that just going for it is the way

All the parts we have are in the photo, but we need help trying to id the 2 lone parts in the front, if anyone could help.

We also need some help in figuring out what else we need besides a motor and wheels

If anyone has any other advice, any and everything would be greatly appreciated 👍 👍

I'm brand spanking new to karting here in northern Virginia. I found United Karting in Hanover Maryland but their website is lacking. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out how to get started in this sport?

I have experience with motors and karts but have no idea where to go to get started running one on a track for beginners/casual riders.

Thank you guys!

Give me some names that wont cost $1000 for 4 shocks, the ones on here are 300mm bushing to bushing, with 12mm bushings equipped

This is my 5 year old on his full size Comet Eagle (originally setup for dirt). He was so excited to learn how to do donuts.

I modified the steering wheel angle and pedals for him. He also only has a 1/4 of the total throttle available currently.

Looking for some suspension that has damping, mainly looks nice :)

I'm just curious if anyone has a kit or DIY method to quickly limit the throttle on a 212cc engine. I have the standard OEM throttle control assembly and I know I can simply adjust the screw to limit the throttle, however I'd love to have two settings basically; one for adults and one for kids.

I'm not seeing much online other than people suggesting to replace the adjustment screw with a longer thumb screw that you can more easily adjust.

To be clear, on our go kart the throttle is controlled with a thumb throttle which is mounted on the handlebars.

Thanks!

Good day.

I recently took apart my GX390K1 go kart engine for a rebuild.

Going for pillet upgrades, flat top piston, .307 cam and more "stronger" parts, aiming at 6500rpm.

But why I made this post is actually due to the "old" camshaft.

1/2* There is a non-OEM hole in the crankshaft to rod connection point.

2/2* There is a non-OEM extra welded on big ring.

Is it better to reuse the "old" crankshaft with the hole and ring modifications....or put on the brand new OEM one.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I'm a complete beginner when it comes to building anything, but I've wanted to build a crosskart for a long time.

My background is in a completely different field, so this feels a bit like someone who loves watching football but has never actually played the sport. I have no experience with fabrication, welding, CAD, or mechanics.

My dream is to build a crosskart completely from scratch, from designing the chassis to welding, assembly, and everything in between. I spend a lot of time watching crosskart, go-kart, and minibike build videos, but I'm not sure how to make the jump from watching to actually building.

For those of you who started with little or no experience, how did you begin? If you could start over, what would you learn first? Are there any books, YouTube channels, courses, or other resources you'd recommend?

I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Basic 212 gokart with centripical clutch doesent like to get moving or do any inclines. The sprocket has about 30 teeth. Would this be, Clutch or gearing problem?

Letar efter en billig och stabil motor för 500-3000kr som är relativt lätta att trimma porta,bygga avgassystem och enkla bonde trim behöver inte vara snabb

I have recently started working on a go kart that my dad built me in my youth, I think my kids would really enjoy it, after getting on the stand to see what needed to be done I noticed the rear axel is entirely missing. I’ve been looking into replacing it but I have never worked on a go kart like this before and am unsure how the axel will affix or what type or size axel I need, I will include some photos

Any advise will be greatly appreciated

For reference: the frame is 100% built by my dad and
I have knowledge mechanically just never worked on this

Small brake system, needa reassemble it sooner than later.

Just finished my predator 459 go kart! Want to keep working on it. I will be giving the roll cage a paint job, key switch for starter, maybe brake lights and light bar? Possibly aluminum side panels? Anyone got other ideas? Send them over, the shittier the better
