i'm in the process of converting a manco magnum go-cart into a frankenstein's monster. i've been thinking of buying a warrior and transferring the engine, axles, suspension, lighting and whatever else i can get onto it. but i was wondering what options do i have other than a warrior and obviously a raptor. $$$$ being the problem with that avenue. so it needs to be affordable. i thought i would ask in case there was some sport utilities that i haven't thought of. thanks.

 

rap, warrior, 300ex, what others?

 

Z400 and KFX400 both have reverse.

 

Well, if you dont HAVE to have reverse you could prolly pick up an RD350 engine for ~300-400 bucks. Air cooled (no radiator), and makes ~50hp piped. - I dunno why I love RD engines so much lol, I just do. Its a simpler banshee engine. Why do you have to have reverse anywho? that will make the engine bigger and heavier. on a gokart you put your feet on the front wheels and spin em to go in reverse [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

this is a pretty large go-kart, full suspension, 2-seater and all that. but i can't have anything stock for long and the raptor's reverse has spoiled me. so i want to buy a quad and rip it to shreds and put what i can on the kart. i want to eventually drive it pretty much anywhere i drive my quad. curb weight on this thing is 310 so i have a little ways til raptor weight. i was looking for a few older quads that i could get a good deal on. four strokes only. water cooled with an electric start would be cool because i would mount the radiator and battery up front to even the weight out a little. thanks.

 

sounds like fun! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i think the trailblazer does...

i've already upgraded the rear suspension with a pair of front shocks, donated by ward660r. i need a couple more for the front. i'm hoping to get all i need from whatever quad i buy, but DONATIONS ARE EXCEPTED!!haha.
