Off-Road Go-Carts (Build your own)

Boonie Buster · Apr 17, 2009

Anyone ever build their own offroad go cart? I think they'd be a lot of fun. I wouldnt mind building something like in the link. Looks like 1" tube would do the trick i say. :awesomework: couldn't be any worse than what they sell at joessports!

You see a lot of that type of stuff in the deserts down here. Most of them are junk and under-powered. I've known a few people that have bought stuff just like that(for the kids) only to get rid of it within a year or so.

I need to build one for my 2 turning 3 year old...he's growing bored of his DC powered Atv.

Would be a fun project, I'd make it small kid sized though so it wouldn't need to much HP.

Looked at buying the single seat version many moons ago. Decided it was a waste of money. Where would I take it? Reiter? Walker? Yaaaaaaa

......that would suck ass. Water holes and mud EVERYWHERE. :looser: No where to really open it up (safely) and no jumps. What's the point.

If I lived in a desert-ish terrained area......I'd have 2. But I don't.......so I don't.

But if it had 4WD and was still under 3K..........meh, A real buggy is way more better, anyhow.:redneck:
