Dude you are the man at building things! I gotta say it’s pretty cool that you built your own gear system on your go kart. I really wanted gears on mine but Have no clue how to do something like that

Interesting concept on the two speed transmission. Looks familiar to the usual setup on outboard engines and the foot section to work in forward and reverse using a clutch dog. Nice.

Your shifter...use a strong spring directly under the center of travel and the spring will hold the position of the shifter in high and low. As long as the shifter travels in an arc, this will work.

OK, use the spring to keep the shifter in a place that you want. As you might have thought about, machine some type of snake that a rod will need to go over but then latch into.

Always wanted to build a go cart like this but with 2 snowmobile tracks on back and more HP. Snowmobiles are a pain, ever get one in soft snow and get it stuck good? Talk about back breaking BS to dig out holy crap. "Snow buggy" sounds better to me. More stable and less likely to bog down in deep snow due to more track surface area to float over the snow better.

@Rebar77_real 6 жыл бұрын

4:11 Did we just witness a Welding Gods blessing? :P Grats on the sponsor! For locking it in gear, how about a center-console auto tranny lever? Maybe just the stick with button. Or the whole unit, but it'd have to lock in gear and you wouldn't need the whole throw so just the stick w/button might be better. You could rig it up no problem. Have a local wrecking yard?
