Try some wheel spacers form dura blue, I think they are called. I put the 5" spacers on my 150 and it is much more stable. The rear track is no wider than the front, so it's all good.



The last go kart i rolled didn't even have a roll cage :o (we took it off, but im glad we did or it woulda been worse) And that was on rough pavement doing slides at 15mph! Ouch!


How would taking the cage off be better than having it on?

My kids rolled my HH 150 last year, I looked into getting replacement bars and they are outragously expensive $175 for a side :shock:! I removed the cage and bent and hammered it out the best I could.It held untill I could afford the pipe to make a new cage.
My daughter broke her arm and my son had whiplash, thank god I make them wear seatbelts and helmets [-o< [-o< !!!!!! I see lots of videos on here and youtube of people riding no seatbelts or helmets. CRAZY!!!!!!!
Glad your ok. If you have any questions about the roll cage I will be glad to help.
Your buggy brother,
Chester

because if the cage were still on, i wouldnt have A. been able to jump away from the kart and B. i would have been trapped inside of it....


this wasnt a buggy this was a little go kart... actually i have a vid of the kart

I've flipped a few of those yard carts in my time. You dont want a belt on with one of them if it dont have a cage [-X Just let it go it's own way

I see what you are saying.

So when are you going to come down here and give me your buggy for free?
