Built this for my 2 year old granddaughter, it is a blast and pulls my 200 lb fat *** around and break neck speeds as well. It has a scooter motor and home built frame and rack-n- pinion steering.

 

It made it to the hunnertcar last year we had a blast.

 

Here's a couple more recent pics of the RPU my Dad built for my son. It's a work in progress but my son is having a blast with it so work on it is slow.

 

check out the shoppingcart we built awhile ago

 

those are some cool looking ideas

 

cool thread, im gonna build a small rpu with a 1200 harley motor I have sitting around.

 

Pistnbroke, Where the piss did you come up with that body on the cart?!?!?!?! That would be ****in pimp to find something like that for my sons cart!

 

I have one I rebuilt for my son 8 years ago but that is not the reason I am posting.
The guy I bought the frame from had put it on a shelf because his grand daughter got her hair caught in the Torq-A-Verter and lost a big patch of her scalp!!

A friend of mine told me last month his niece had the same thing happen to her and lost almost her whole scalp!!!!

Build them safe!!!

Oh and the Torq-A-Verter or whatever the hell it is called is the way to make some major lowend pull and still have it on the top end,,,, try 30MPH with my 150lb *** in it!!!

Have fun!!!

 

When i was younger we cut the body off of a dodge omni it was kind of a go-cart after that

 

Here is the one I built for my son Buddy ... I know its fibergl*** but he likes it.

 

That ROCKS man!!! Where did you get the gl*** shell????

 

Here is one I have been working on forever. I built the frame. It has recessed seating. I have a 450cc motorcycle engine for it. It will have rack and pinion steering, disc brakes and 25" ATV tires. I have newer pics somewhere...

I know im more than a year late but whats the story on that little dragster fomoco? Thats the first time ive ever seen a fed style mini dragster!

 

hey guys this is my "hot rod go cart" its a go cart me and my dad made based off of a 1929 ford roadster pick-up

 

Don't be concerned about it being fibergl***. If fibergl*** was good enough for Ed " Big Daddy " Roth, it should be good enough for these types. Little Buddy should come first not a bunch of second rate critics.

 

Great stuff here. But I would not expect anything less of the HAMB.

 

It's a 3 year old post. I'm guessin little buddy does not fit in the cart anymore.

 

my daughter and I raced soap box derby the last 3 summers
go figure shes retired at 13 outgrew the car
