i was out riding with my go kart with some kids today and everyone wanted to buy the go kart but they didnt have money. my friend had a baja dirt bug that was beat up and $20. i took it.

its a fair trade because the go kart had a bent axle (told him) and the motor was having some problems with airflow (need a new filter)

i want to throw one of my clones onto it and get a new rear tire. maybe a torque converter, i have a complete TAV2 copy minus the driver and belt... i have a 1" driver. maybe someone will trade for a 3/4".



EDIT: like these tires

anyone there? :crying:

update for nobody,


i decided not to paint the frame, the frame is yellow, everything else black. and instead of having to spend money on tires, i took some off a tractor. they are 15"



itll get done soon. i have to scrape up some cash to get a adapter plate and torque converter driver.

thanks man! i havent been able to take it anywhere yet. my truck's frame rotted out and as soon as i weld that up and back together ill drive to my friend's and go riding there.

i rode it in my driveway, in this video i didnt even have the throttle hooked up yet and it had a straight pipe. the tire must have not been inflated enough, because the rim got spun inside the tire and it destroyed the inner tube.

i had a tubeless murray mower front tire, so i put that on, and havent had problems yet.

hopefully that post isnt too confusing, im tired

they are very old carlisle turf savers. ill have to check the size but i think S1att3r is right.

i am not running those tires anymore. maybe it didnt have enough pressure or its made for a wider rim, but the rim spun inside the tire and ripped the inner tube.

i pulled the front tires off a Murray riding mower and they fit perfect

i went to a dirt/gravel road to give it a real test for the first time. it has serious balls! its stupid fast and i hit a small bump and got air and i thought i was going to eat shit but somehow i made it. the bike really moves quick!

right after getting home a cop drove by. why is it everyone calls the cops every time i ride?

i need to get a video up soon
