[Kartbuilding] Needing help in making a go kart for racing purpose

[Stephen Burke]

Hi,

You still have a lot of options for the kart.
For simple chassis take a look at the following PDF:
http://kartbuilding.net/The_NatSKA_Guide_to_Karts_and_Karting/Pages-1-10-11-12-13-Chassis-Design.pdf


For Transmission - you may be limited in what you can choose.
Using a centrifugal clutch and chain would be my preferred option.
See:

However if you have to go up hills and off-road, you may have to use a
torque converter.

Best of luck,
-steve
