In this video I talk about the three main types of go kart axles, dead axle, live axle and a differential.
I have 17 playlists of all my videos and builds ... ru-vid.com...
The engine I used for this is 11 hp (346cc) from harbor freight. The welder I use is a 110 V , 90 Amp flux core also from Harbor Freight. I get my Wheels from ebay, Bmi, or Harbor Freight.

Larger diameter axles , solid or tubular , will handle greater torque without twisting . Chrome moly steel is about 2X the strength of high tensile carbon steel in the same size . Great job !

There is a 4th type. And I am setting up my cart that way. The engine drives a jack shaft w/o gear reduction. The jack shaft has 2 centrifugal clutches one for each wheel. This is positive traction. Too much scuffing with a live axle whenever you are on a road or pavement. This setup has two independent axles one for each wheel and mounts almost reaching the other axle.

I run a dead axle on my drift trike. I used 2 old snapper wheels and drilled out the 2 wheels so it would match my hub and I had to make another hub for the passenger side. I put 8 inch trims on it. Works great

A jack shaft set up, between the engine and differential, is what you want. Comet clutch-engine/jack shaft then chain-jack shaft/differential, then brakes on both sides of axle. When I was a kid I had a Montgomery Wards 3 wheeler with this set up, 8 horse Tecumseh. Tough set up! Took everything I could dish out until the engine gave the ghost (took about 12 years). At that point I put a JLO 17 horse snowmobile engine on it. That drive train still took the abuse for another 8 years up to and after I sold it! Later on I learned it's the same live axle that sells at northern hydraulics. Just a little 411. Like videos and builds BTW.

@HaveUSeenMyBaseball86
@HaveUSeenMyBaseball86 2 года назад
What keeps your axle from sliding out besides having the wheels on each side. I got a 3/4 axle that goes into a pipe that welded part of the frame with 3/4 ID bearing on each side. But old axle stayed in pretty good new axle I purchased. It goes straight through and it flies out other side. Old axle had keyway just on the hub area and on the threads. New axle has keyway all the way down axle except on the threads. Do I have wrong axle ???
@Watthead80

What about drilling and tapping holes in the spacers and adding grease zerks? This way you can shoot a little grease in there to lube and protect.

@stclairstclair
@stclairstclair 2 года назад
My tip: Spray some clear coat into a little cup take a small brush and paint your CLEAN steel axle after it is installed, by turning the axle and holding the brush, I did this and my axle stayed new looking, and yes it may make disassembly harder but it's worth no rust.

Have you ever drilled the axle for the set screws to screw into? Also, aren't dead axles more steerable on the road?
@Techmatt167Official
@Techmatt167Official 11 лет назад
My gokart axle doesn't have any rust on it. I drive it in water, dirt everything even mud and no rust. Set screws are pretty trusting. Only one time my sprocket set screws vibrated loose and I ended up with my chain falling off. I drive on smooth cement and dirt which doesn't make it too hard to steer with no differential but on a rough asphalt road, it's tricky to turn. I have to speed up a bit then make my turn. Most of the times I don't make a full u turn.

This seems like the place where people would be knowledgeable. So my question is- Alot of people who build go karts drive them on standard style pavement. But they use heavy off road golf kart style tires. Wouldn't it be alot better to use 16" bicycle wheels with street treads. Wouldn't they allow you to cruise faster because they weigh less, and have the correct tire tread?

@nathanlegoman4208 9 лет назад
hey, right now I'm collecting info and tips to build a go kart. I want to build a go kart which can switch between a live and dead axle. The live axle will be for off road driving because the tires can slip, and the dead axle for on road. I think that the easiest way to do this is to cut the axle in half and connect it with a manual clutch. Is this practical? or should I just stick with a live axle?

I have never had a problem with the set screws on the bearings or the brakes. One time the sprocket on my gokart has shifted dramatically and my chain blew off. It was due to a loose, cheap set screw which the head of it stripped.
@oshpunit987
@oshpunit987 5 лет назад
I'm thinking of building a go kart with a live axle and running it with a belt rather than a chain. I'd have a clutch, brake and gas pedal. I'd make it so the clutch pedal was locked in the released position to start and when stopped. I'd put an idler pulley between the engine and axle and when the clutch was let out the belt would tighten and it takes off. Do you think that would work on a go kart?

Ok I got a question about my go kart T Man. It's a beast that some amusement parks would use. You could toss this thing down the grand Canyon and the frame would probably be unharmed. I'm pretty sure it had a dead axle on it at one point but someone put a solid racing quad axle on it (posi) it didn't have a motor but I had a 5.5 honda engine sitting around so I used it. Here's my problem. When on grass, this thing will not take off at all, the centrifugal clutch does not engage enough to get it going. What's my issue? Is it the posi axle or what are we looking at? And I have one of those centrifugal clutches with the 4 c shaped clips that open up as you accelerate instead of the spring that loops around type.

I'm still confused. I have a go kart that has a fixed axle. When I turn it stresses the electric motor and can stall. I assume a live axle will allow when turning both wheels turns at different speed thus not stressing the motor. Is this correct?

Hello, Can you list the parts that have gone into the axle you have on the bench? -tyres size where you got it from -rims size where you got it from -axle size where you got it from -etc include the brakes you intend to use on this axles. I wish I could buy/afford a complete axle like that. I have a Chinese offroad go kart which I modified and fitted with hydraulic brakes and changed the engine to GX390 with a 40series torque converter(Chinese), its got a lot of torque. I would like to build a go kart with bigger tyres 13inc or bigger and use it to carry three four passangers as well as pull a trailer with kids in it. (That is not realy a go kart is it but you get the idea). I would be cool to pull kids around in the Kalahari sands.

Jesus Villa I think about 900, But I did build it all. If you get real spindles and stuff for a buggy then its going to cost more

What about the rose axle? Seen it on Gun's n Rose's. Man I'm gettin old ☆ DiyGoKarts are a cool bunch and do a lot of builds, but I find myself more here than there. FearlessFront is the one I thought of when you said peerless, junk mowers may have that axle for builders.

at 6:20 you move the axle (left side push, right side pull) the wheels move in opposite direction , the axle doesn't (noticed from the sprocket remaining still). How do you lock your hubs to your axle? Thnx G

sure, Well most of the time I use 1x1x.095 wall thickness. in terms of tubing its closer to 13 gauge. welds great.

@GrahamUSMC44 7 лет назад
Huh? Think there was some confusion in my question. The hub where wheels mount, they seem to be on bearings, only because the axle doesn't move when you move the tires. If the sprocket turns the axle, how does your axle turn the hub/tires?

@GrahamUSMC44 7 лет назад
I have hubs where the axle would pass through two bearings that are pressed on. I'm looking to lock the hubs onto the axle. Is there a special hub I need to purchase for that?
@Tmansgokarts
@Tmansgokarts 7 лет назад
Oh i see. yes there is. What size do your tires say and what size is your axle??
@GrahamUSMC44
@GrahamUSMC44 7 лет назад
23X10.5-12 tire and thinking of going with a 1" axle, the bearings are removable in the hub (2 of them, one for each side of the hub). I have researched and found bearings ranging from 3/4", 5/8", 1" I can have pressed in for my particular hub assembly
