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.

Re: Craziest Custom project

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

Re: Craziest Custom project

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.

Scale Go Cart-Style Wheels?

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

Re: Craziest Custom project

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.

Re: Craziest Custom project

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.
