Chassis Punch

Posted on Saturday, January 2, 2010 in construction equipment

Cheapest possible way to make a go kart?

Ok so I'm really into making a go kart but I only have maybe 100$ to spend. How would I make one?
What power source? (Im not pedaling!)
what would I make the chassis out of?

For the chassis, what material could i use? wood, pvc pipe, anything cheap and found at my local lowes.
To power it, could I use a cordless drill? how much HP would that punch out?
This isnt for racing.

Thanks,
Remeber im on a budget ;)

Thick Plywood for chassis about 3ft x 6ft and 1" thick.
2 x 4"x6" for axles.
4 x wagon wheels.
4 x 20 penny nails.
3-4 ft rope for steering.

Ok, this will get you something with 4 wheels that will roll downhill for about $30-40. Possibly you can put a chainsaw motor to power a wheel and mostly to make vroom vroom noises as you roll downhill mostly powered by gravity.
