Go Kart Parts

When you decide you want a go cart whether its for fun or for racing the first thing you have to do is figure out how much money you have to play with. Hobbies are not cheap these days and a go kart is no different. One of the ways you can cut back on the cost is by building it yourself, if you have some mechanical knowledge.

This way you can save on the labor and costs of many man hours as the result of putting a go kart together. When first determining what go cart parts you need obviously a frame or chassis is the first choice. This is what the go kart will be built around and thus is the most important piece in building a go kart.

The other go kart parts involved will be an engine, wheels, tires, throttle and brakes. There are a lot of nuances to building a go cart and it is best to look to someone who has experience in building from the ground up.

These mechanics are usually easy to find and build all sorts of motorcycles and pit bikes as well. There are books and manuals on how to build go carts but one thing is for sure if you dont have the right go-cart parts your kart is not going to be functional or safe. The internet plays host to lots of great deals new and used.

Used go cart parts can be found all over Amazon, Ebay and Craigslist at a fraction of new parts prices. If the parts you need are online then go after them. Check local classified for used carts so that you may be able to use parts off of non running machines to build your own.

Another great option is to check local flea markets and yard sales. They almost always have either used go carts for sale or parts from an old cart they no longer need. Yard sales are a great place to find parts for you kart or buggy.
