Streaker go kart3/19/2023 ![]() ![]() So either that 10 plus inch dimension from the axle to hoop is wrong, or the hoop I received is too tall (though that may not resolve the problem without shifting either its angle or distance to axle), or the steering column needs to be longer. ![]() The steering hoop that I was sent, when installed the ten plus inches from the inside of the axle and at a right angle from the frame, results in a situation where the 18″ steering column assembly is effectively too short. I thought I’d let you know that there is one issue with the layout/info/parts. Morning! I got the deluxe plans and kit, and so far it has all gone to gone together perfectly, so thank you. This is a simple yard kart and 90 degrees is good enough. So if you want to add some camber or caster, or redesign anything, feel free. It does not require ‘precise’ measurements to be able to turn. This is a simple go kart with simple steering. This should be ‘good enough’.Ĭ) Does it actually matter whether the spindles are 90 to the frame or the ground in terms of handling etc.? NOPE!!! a lot of people get caught up in this, and bring up ackerman, steering angle, camber, caster etc. If you want to bypass this step, and just have the frame flat on the ground with no tires, rotate the c-bracket so it sits 5 to 7 degrees back (eg, rotate the top of the bracket toward the rear of the kart). You are right, you tack, then measure, then fully weld when you are satisfied with the measurement. A tack weld is flexible to a point and will hold pretty well until you get another tack weld on it. This is due to the axle bearing hangers.ī) You install the tires and adjust the spindle brackets to vertical by: 1) tack weld C-brackets (spindle brackets) to frame, install tires 2) put the angle finder on the side of the spindle bracket and rotate by hand or tapping with hammer. The go kart steering components that I had to buy at a hardware store, or design, cut, and build are as follows:Ī) There is a very slight incline of the standard live axle kart, meaning the back of the kart sits maybe an inch or two higher than the front. The parts of the steering system assembly are part of the free go kart steering plans that I offer at. Kill switch (it mounts to the steering hoop).(2x) 3″ tall spindle brackets with 1/2″ kingpin holes.3/8 inch x 18″ tie rod with tie rod ends. ![]() 3/8 inch x 8″ tie rod with tie rod ends.The go kart steering parts that came with the whole go kart build kit that I got can be purchased in the above link, and are are listed below: There are the parts you will need to buy, and there are the parts you can build from scratch or purchase from a hardware store. So lets build your own DIY go kart steering system. With input from acquaintances in the go karting industry, I have selected the simplest, easiest method to build a heavy duty, and reliable go kart steering system with all of the parts you need. ![]() Luckily, I have reviewed many different go kart steering designs and will show you how the go kart steering works. Go kart steering can be complex, overwhelming, and a source of major problems if you don’t build your go kart correctly. ![]()
