[Kartbuilding] go kart setup Course

[Stephen Burke]

Hi Wilkin,

Yes, the books I mentioned are a little old.
Last year I bought the following book.
http://blog.kartbuilding.net/2010/04/30/book-review-build-your-own-off-road-buggy-for-as-little-as-100/

It still is in print. While its not as in-depth as the books I
originally mentioned this book does provide some good information on
making the kart as on the front cover of book.

I may have a few more pages of the book I had mentioned on the previous
web link. I'll send another email to you with this.

Best of Luck,
-steve
