It will be tig welded for the most part. And this isnt a 2000hp dragster, its a 600cc motor with maybe 60ft lbs of torque. not alot of weight/stress going on the frame.
Its also not going to be a 160mph rocketship either. will be geared accordingly.

Those things still pull 3g's. It's a lot of force, even if it's not so much weight.

Re: So you think your honda is fast?
 

if you can tig and get the right gauge of metal itll hold fine

But dude....to scale, you either have a champ car or a gp2 car....

with no harness/seatbelt or cage

be safe yo

Re: So you think your honda is fast?
 

safety first. I might put a recaro with 5 point harness if need be.
I am very respectful of horsepower and know when it can be used. The only vid of a bike powered kart ive seen crashing is some fools who were driving with no helmet, at night, in a small parking lot.. probably after a few beers.
The new chassis also has awesome brakes which makes me feel a bit more confident. And of course all driving will be done in a wide open paved area with no other cars.

very nice

Re: So you think your honda is fast?
 

cbr600 is around 430lbs. so that kart should be roughly as fast as a bike, but those tiny ass tires are gonna make you have to be creative with your gearing

Re: So you think your honda is fast?
 

New CBR is only 341lb dry :S

Even worse, it's supposed to have 118hp... Really puts things into perspective on how shitty a 2100lb car with 106hp is... :(

---- yeah power to weight ratio :6
