[Kartbuilding] Fwd: Cart

[Stephen Burke]

Hi,

The weed whacker engine would be under pressure to drive the kart. You
might need a higher gear ratio like 5:1. Also with that gear ratio,
you are talking about 30mph max.
It mightnt be too bad as it is a 3 wheeler and hopefully you can make
it nice and light.
Best of Luck with it.
