Ok since I'm coming over to the ATLMA side of the world, and what I'm doing may interest this site more than others... I'm posting my All Terrain Go Cart updates here, and plan to set a click to here link on my other thread on heymow.
ok in the pic below, you get a shot from the carts low back side, gives you a visual of the where whats going.
This is just a shot of the motor mount area and the sick stance from the rear.
This is just a "from the seat" shot.. the seats a little far back, but you get the idea.

got alot done yesterday.... more pics are coming though, brighter outdoor pics (was raining earlier)
this is a shot of the axle and elbow protectors/ side guards... starting to look like something.
front and back shots of the shock mount area, it WILL be tied into a rollcage before its rolling, but can currently hold my weight bouncing on it (I'm a healthy 325lbs, so its safe enough) check out those hand made front a-arms!
the "far and away shot" there will be outdoor pics with more lighting later, but it was early when I got these. its sitting high in the front, keep in mind my weight, settling springs(most soften way up after a few rides), and adjusting later if needed, it'll be A-OK I think.
<snippets from the other build log>
I'm going 25 tooth tranny side to 11 tooth axle side, so I won't have to overspin the trans as much, might last longer that way. my engine is already governed to 2000 rpm (from factory) planning to leave it as such for now(note, for now).
I'm trying to figure out a good pulley size to reduce slippage.
I don't recommend welding the rear axles of most transaxles since they aren't hardened all the way through. saying that, since it will have no weight on it, I plan on welding the drive gears in place rather than pay for a keyway to be machined.
I shortened the transaxles to get inside my wheelbase and keep the length respectable (has to be under 50" wide to run in Wayne national forest)
if I had planned better, since I'm not overdriving it, I should have gotten a hydrostatic as it would've made shifting on the fly less stressfull on the tranny, maybe in version 2. i know they are not meant to be shifted on the fly, but I'll do it till it breaks and try some thing else.
Moved over to a bigger emptier garage/workshop, and took my tools with me, its my father in laws place. got my front suspension and side protection bars mounted today, so will go back and get pics of pogress if I don't work on it anymore. only thing left is pedals & hand brake, steering, and bend out a roll bar. so we are only at the most a month away! woohoo...
