Thank you! 3rd video, finally someone who's actually installing a live axle instead of selling crap, telling life stories or cracking stale jokes with shaky camera angles! Thank you Big Red!!

@unusedaccount902 7 лет назад

I love their live axle setup it's so easy to install even a blind guy can do it!

I have a go cart with the same one wheel setup . The breaks are a band type drum mounted on drive wheel they suck as well as the poor traction as you know . Been wanting to upgrade . with your help I;m going to do it as soon as the weather cools . Its mid July now will wait till September . Thank you for taking the time to post . George

Red Beard, you video made it very clear to understand how to install the live axle kit. I was curious on how to do it and you made it to where a newbie (such as myself) can do it easily. Thanks alot.

@RedBeardsGarage 7 лет назад

No problem man. Thats why I make these videos

@micromachine7954 7 лет назад

Keep up the great work! I had a little tip for strengthening butt joints, Make a sleeve that fits tight INSIDE the tube about 3 or four inches on each side of the joint. Drill a couple holes in the parent stock and you can (tack) weld the inner sleeve in place. It won't take much, just a couple spots to hold it in place. Then run a bead around your joint as normal. Don't forget to bevel your edges on butt joints! Happy welding and karting! PS: I am not gonna be the safety police but please consider wearing a helmet on the karts without a cage, I only ask because I like your videos and hope to see more from you guys in the future! Team RBG!

@RedBeardsGarage 7 лет назад

Thanks man. I actually knew that method but I appropriate you looking out. Always like good advice. Thanks for watching.

@idkfred 7 лет назад

Great videos my biggest hang up on my build its finding the right tires set up whether it is going with a 1" live axle tire ignoring the 3/4" end live axle or going with 3/4" ID tires and just using live axle hubs to hold the tires. Any advice or recommended buys are appreciated Thank You

@Maverick_Van_Traveller 5 лет назад

Just bought an old F.W. & Associates go kart with a Dodge van body on it, it has a very similar dead axle/one wheel peel setup on it. Been scratching my head thinking about how to convert it to live axle without effecting ride height and wheelbase, and also move the engine and seat back a few inches as I don't fit very well in it as-is. I like your solution of extending the frame behind the axle with square tubing, and boxing it in with the engine plate and flat stock. I will likely implement a similar design on my kart, though I will have to add a kick-up or step in the frame to keep the ride height where I want it. My only concern is that such a small, lightweight kart will not like to steer with a live axle. We'll see.

@TheWopper78 4 года назад

Not picking, just make sure those welds aren’t surface welds. They look a bit like caterpillars. Turn the heat up Red. Just an observation from a terrible angle. I could be quite wrong.

@MrTheHillfolk 7 лет назад

I've got a 10hp Briggs that has an odd crank. It's tapered at the end, but I was able to cut the flat area for a keyway and I have a centrifugal clutch on it now. It has enough flat area to mount it. About an inch of the tapered part sticks out of the clutch. Only thing holding me back from getting a torque converter kit is whether it's gonna fit. I've got access to a machine shop if I have to cut that crank end off.

@RedBeardsGarage 7 лет назад

Hey red beard. I am getting back into dirt kart racing. I am reassembling my kart now and I’m running into a problem with the rear axle placement.

on my kart, the brake rubs causing some friction. I notice that you have a return spring. is that something you came up with or did it come with the kit? I have the very same brake setup but mines does not have spring

@minorpyro69 7 лет назад

You like the kart even more now dont'cha? haha. I know it made me happy when I did Live Axle for drifting,acceleration, and hillclimbing purposes.. How did you do the gps overlay, that is neat. Must be plugged in to the camera. Would you be interested to see my "turbocharging the kart" videos? I also will have .380 high lift camshaft testing. It's on my new channel that i have been working hard on the editing.

Had a question just did a fresh build go cart and then every time I go fast it wobbles why and everything now so I don’t understand why it’s wobbly

@josephsnodgrass5875 2 года назад

I've built something similar. I worry that my solid axle sticks out too far on each side and that it will bend from the leverage of the cart sitting on the axle. Have you had that problem with your build?

@oso1339 5 лет назад

You should do more of these how to videos when building or after. This helped a lot!!!!!!!

@rannz8 4 года назад

Yep, you can cut the smaller shaft it wont hurt it

@chevrolet355 6 лет назад

Please tell me how your back wheels don't bind up by being a live axle. I have my trike that is a posi and the thing will barely move

@bryanmayfield7423 2 года назад

I ordered the individual parts for live axle swap from go power sports. I had to do individual parts because they wouldn’t allow me to swap the knobby tires with slicks. And the person on the phone was no help with helping me put together my own custom order so I took it upon myself to piece together my order online. I think I have everything I need but I might have made a mistake on ordering the proper size tires to accommodate my 60t420 drive sprocket. I ordered 12x500x6 tires. Will those work or do I need to size up to 13x500x6 to give my sprocket enough clearance from the ground

@chadwilterding9440 5 лет назад

Hey Red Beard, I'm currently converting my newly built Manco cart to a live axle with hydraulic disk brakes. But I'm wanting it to be faster off the start, and am fine with a lower top speed. 42 mph is a bit fast and a bit scary for me, But definitely want it to have faster movement from a stand still. so I was going to change my sprocket(s) to achieve my goal with this live axle conversion. I'm running a 12t sprocket at my clutch, and had a 60t on my axle. Any recomendations on sprocket sizes for the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket? Thanks my man!

@j0sh368 5 лет назад
