Build a 1500 Dollar Go Kart Out of Junk

Make a Go Kart Worth Over $1500
Using Junk As Your Base Materials!

This is no joke!

I have built a Go Kart for less than $100
by using peoples old Junk!

Look at the Bill of Material listing below and I will point out to you the do- ability of this "Garbage/Junk" to Mega-Mania Go-Kart!

The Bill of Material (BOM for short) is listed by category.
  • Plates
  • Tubes
  • Wood and Cloth
  • Steering, Braking and Accelerator Components
  • Power Train
  • Paint
Realistically, you should be able to find all tube and plate for nothing.

If you have access to any fabricator, he will be willing to practically give you
the materials just to see the project through.

I have, however, in this BOM assumed that you went to a tube house and bought the tube.

The fluff stuff, like a cushy seat are factored in too.

I assume that a steering wheel is accessible to you!

If you look I am buying allot of stuff you may already have: sprockets, chain, brakes and cabling....!

Bottom line, for under $200 you can
start making your own go kart
from someones old junk!

You may ask: What do you mean by junk exactly?

I mean the following:
  • Old Snow Blowers (the absolute best junk available!  Powerful engines especially!)
  • Old Junked Out Tractors, riding lawnmowers: Engines, Tires, Seat, Stearing Components!
  • Old Weed Wackers (some are good enough for a small go kart!)
  • Old Generators (Use the motor!)
  • The Ultimate! A trashed out, broken down, nobody wants go kart.  Seat is gone, engine is blown, chain broke, brakes worn out... A GOLD MINE!
