Craziest Custom project

I just had a crazy idea looking at a show, A RICED UP GO KART! With all custom body, and engine, and exhaust! Please post your comments on this. I love this idea. I will post some pics of the drawing.

That's....umm.....retarded

If u got nothing positive to say, dont say anything at all!

That's what I think.. I mean come on a Go-Cart??

If u got nothing positive to say, dont say anything at all!
personally i think its a cool idea, go for it!

Haven't seen a go cart yet. Do one of the old school 50's type with stickers and exhaust on it. Does any company make 1:24 scale lawnmower engines? ahhahha

dont think so. I might use an ITG engine and customize alot of it!

Screw a model...go for the 1/1.

Could you guys help me find some pics of Go-Cart engines?

lol..why not use some ITR or Civic engines? (No..seriously..) Or, if you want, i know Ertl makes die cast riding lawn mowers, which have engines, but i dunno how detailed they are. Sounds like an interesting project, go for it.

what kind of go kart? racing? haha i got one. if you want pictures. i'll show you some

Yeeah, if you post some pics, I'm thinking of a racing go cart!

Where could I find 1/24 go-cart wheels or find something similar? Or what could I use to make the wheels?

I actually like the idea, sorta like the Forumula Hyabusa (or whatever it's called). The mini- indycar powered by a Suzuki Hayabusa engine.

For the go-cart, I'd used an engine from a Tamiya NSX. Just my opinion.

For a while, there was a company (I think it was the same one that made techdeck and the like, or at least it seemed similar in design) that made metal and plastic go karts, they were probaly 1:12 or so. I remember seeing them at Wal-Mart. Try ebay.

Edit: Something like this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1042&item=4208460381&rd=1).

Try this link, it's from a kart track here in Portugal;

I've gotta agree it sounds pretty stupid. why would u waste ur money like that

ill do it i dont care i think that would be cool im goin for it its gonna have a blown bigblock chevy and 20" rims with a body kit 1 recaro seet and really low ill use one of those litleteck deck ones

WTF???? Thats my Idea! Wut do you mean it sounds pretty stupid? As I said before, dont post any negative comments! If you dont like the fucking idea, don't post shit ok? O and BTW im not wasting money, Im making everything out of trees and Styrene Sheets!!

hey i say do it! ... i have built a model of a lowrider bike before ... why do that? ... heh because i wanted to .. :)

sounds like an origonal idea ...

Why not? Go for it man! Screw fighting who's idea it is - rather exchange knowledge and suggestions. :cheers: You'll get a great scale model!

Ohh, and another thing:
:useless:

word

DJSurfer, you asked for opinions. You asked for people's thoughts on your idea.

Invariably, there will be people who dislike your idea and will say so.

Disallowing these people from making these comments will accomplish nothing except making you look insecure. In short, you should just deal with it.

And to follow on from LK’s post, the replies by sk8ter_in_ny and Naseer23 are not exactly helpful. If you don't like something then state you reasons why, criticism is only valid if it is constructive. The posts in this thread by the above members are purely tolling and postwhoring. Both of which are against AF guidelines. Clean you act up gentlemen.

For a while, there was a company (I think it was the same one that made techdeck and the like, or at least it seemed similar in design) that made metal and plastic go karts, they were probaly 1:12 or so. I remember seeing them at Wal-Mart. Try ebay.:1: I remember seeing them at SAV*ON or something. They were interchangeable like the TechDeck skateboards. And, I'd swear they were 1/24 scale. I picked one up in the store and thought, "Hmmm... Car scale." Then put it back down and wandered away for toilet paper or ice cream or whatever I was shoping for that day...

I think this is them:

AMT makes an old, i think, ford pick-up that comes with a lawn mower. seen it at my LHS a while back...

Screw a model...go for the 1/1.
Why model if u can drive with real?
Real would be funnier to build. ;)

I know that some lunatic in the UK built a Fireblade powered kart 6 or 7 years ago. Couldn't find any pics though.

Pick up a 1/24 bike and go for it I say.
