I'm thinking about building a go-cart with/for the kids. Thinking about an electric cart... but not opposed to a gas (lawnmower) powered cart.
Has anyone here built one from scratch? |

SWEET!!!!
I would recomend going gas for the unlimited run time. Batteries have to be re-charged, and there is downtime. Gas tanks can be re-filled in 2 minutes. You want a simple flat cart w/ no suspension, or are you looking to get more elaborate? BJH |

And pollute to high heaven. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) If you're considering electric, ask here: ev@listproc.sjsu.edu You could probably use a handful of the new DeWalt battery packs (containing LiFePO4 (I think) batteries from A123 Systems) to power the kart.
