Welcome to Custom Karting!!

This is the place to show off your custom on or off road go karts, and to find info. on designing, building and of course, testing custom vehicles. Do you want a custom kart? Build it. Are you hesitant to begin building or do you have questions about how to do it? Ask (it is probably not as hard as you think). This group contains discussions on building, help with designing, photos of projects and links to sites with parts, turn key karts, DIY kits, free plans, expensive plans, problem solving and some general important karting basics. Members can add photos, thoughts, designs and advice.

The photo above contains my original kart project, a single seat custom off road kart. Built from my own design and perfected after extensive field and woods driving. Now powered by a 10HP Tecumseh Powersports engine. Top speed approx. 45mph. Photos of the build are available in the photos section.

The other kart (or buggy?) is my 2 seat, fully independent suspension go kart, which is powered by a Yamaha SR250 streetbike engine with a 5 speed manual transmission and a custom exhaust. Photos of the early progress can be found in the photos section, and some design scratches (what I write down as I build) for this project, and other useful tools, are available in the files section. As new photos and info. are available on this project, they will be posted at the supplemental group:
