Insane cart build

[roofman]

Ok the time has come, i have forced myself to start the project i have been trying to start for 5 years...My plan is to take this and marry it up with a Fireblade or GSXR 1000 motor or even a 1200 Bandit motor (easier way being air cooled), whichever comes along 1st at the right money. Advice and input welcome along the way

Awesome sauce

Will be watching with interest as my son wants me to do similar, but less mental

Add a second driven axle, all the monster karts on YouTube just turn tyres into smoke and noise. Unless that is the purpose?

Also lots of bracing to both engine and axle mounts as the torque will be much higher than the frame was designed for

Come on now, let him source the engine first, then he will contact NASA for advice on brake rotors

1st job is to make it go, then will consider stopping it

Here's one I did a little work on a few years back.
A Kawasaki ZX12R 1270cc Drag Cart.

I think i might want a Roll cage or some kind of protection.

The engine of this build needed moving further back, to get more weight over the rear wheels, but the owner/driver would not listen, it had bad wheelspin off the line.

You won't roll one of these, they just grip or spin

cant put the motor too far back as unlike a car there is no weight up front

Your gonna need brake rotors like dustbin lids to stop that mother.
