Goal here is to leave the body/appearance of the Outlaw kart.
Started the carnage Wednesday night by cutting all the excessive metal off the commercial kart-about a 100lbs worth leaving basically the frame rail. Then cut the front and rear off the FL250. measured it all up & attached them-Had to order a new bearing set for the gearbox & axle.Set the rack unit and modified the steering arms to fit the Ody's frontend.Had an automotive steering knuckle to fix the changed steering angle-worked perfectly. The commercial kart sat just 3" from the ground- now it sets 11" up with the off road tires.Had to butcher up the extremely high rollcage to lower center of gravity some and set it on the frame w/bolting plates.Now that I can roll it around I'll start on mounting the sled engine.
