[Kartbuilding] question

[Stephen Burke]

Hi,

A 4" x 4" length of timber will work fine. You may have to use extra 
"Padding" pieces to make up for the extra 1". See number (6) of:
http://www.kartbuilding.net/Wooden_Go-Kart_Plans/JPG_wooden_go-kart_plans/Wooden_Kart_Plans_4.jpg
which is a basic version of the lawn more engine powered wooden kart.

As far as building a kart goes, its all about your ability rather than 
your age. It was at around 12 or 13 when I started making gokarts.

Best of Luck,
-steve

a 3'' by 4''?
