haha i was thinking more like 900 cc being the limit of engine size (you know motorcycle engines could work real well, and the tranny is already set up for foot use...)

well...the pro gokart racers have chain saw motors and those babies go up to 80mph....sometimes 100mph...id prolly take the chain saw motor and build it for high boost and turbo it...i meen come on..think bout it....the thing is small so it weighs less than a motor cycle motor...and if i build it to handle 20 pounds...man id smoke the be jesus out of everyone. think bout it....hehehehe

Re:Lets all build gokarts and race'm
 
ahahaha :) Well I was thinking motorcycles would be easy cuz the tranny is already a pedal type devise?

I really don't have the first clue about building one of these, maybe we could try prototyping one?

we dont use chain saw motors gomer. we use 80cc and 125cc 2-stroke motors out of motocross bikes. I race a 125 kart and have been clocked at 132mph.
