Here are some such, and have to have your scheme. Here we note the most important – the length of the wheelbase and General dimensions.

Now start manufacturing the slipway for Assembly of the frame. This element is required if the machine will be produced in small series (i.e. as in our case). As the basis for stocks should be used duralumin sheet steel size 170х90 inches. The thickness of the material used should be of the order of 15 centimeters. Along the axis of the element is a longitudinal line (that will trace the plane of symmetry of the frame of transport) and perpendicular to it – the base (for mounting clamps pivot bushings).
Holes in the sleeves is cut on a special boring machine. The stocks are mounted on the metal corners, locking the longitudinal spars. The frame itself is assembled from several elements:
1. The two spars.
2. Front bumper.
3. Front, rear and middle cross members.
4. Mounting bracket of steering column.
As for the engine, the karts are often mounted single-cylinder two-stroke gasoline setup with air cooling.

It must have involved at least two wheels. However for security purposes it is recommended to set the brake disks in four.

Pay attention to the ratio of the sizes of all major components and assemblies in the car. Platform width of the kart must conform to the dimensions of the frame, and its length-the distance from the seat to the pedals.
The design of this vehicle is also need to provide a fence that will not give your feet slip off the pedals. The same applies to seat – it should not be such that the driver flew from one side of the kart to the other on turns. Ideally, the pilot is firmly seated in the chair and does not move to the side on sharp turns and high speeds (with the exception of possible congestion of the internal organs).
The Individual parts the transaxle should be closed with a special panel on ½ part of the gears. Special attention will also give the fuel tank. Remember that its volume should not exceed five liters, and the capacity secured with the expectation that eliminates unauthorized release of fuel to the outside. Do not make overly large tank – five litres is enough for a single cylinder two-stroke engine, the working volume which is only a few tens of cubic centimeters.
All the parts of the steering system and suspension mandatory spletayutsya. It allowed the use of the ignition system, impact tools, carburetors of any type (foreign or domestic production).
According to experts, in the design of this vehicle is prohibited to use the following elements:
1. Body.
2. Fairings.
3. Steering worm,cable, chain or gear-driven.
4. Diffs.
5. Various blowers and fuel injection.
6. Pedal that, when pressed beyond the dimensions of the frame.
Follow these rules, you will collect the most secure unit for a minimum period of time!
So we figured out how to build a go kart with his own hands what details you should pay attention to when assembling. Success!
