okay a friend of mine has a 150cc gy6 engine with reverse for $100. i want to put it in my gokart but mygokart has just a regular 7.5hp motor. i can make mounts for it. but is it a good idea to put this motor in?


also let me know what you think of my new project. i am going to make the trailbike into a trike with 24"tires on the back. and with the 7.5hp i take fromn my gokart. with a 30series comet. the bike is a baja warrior big wheel min bike/trailbike

it could be done, just alot of fab work to the swing arm

i was thinking i would just make it sort of like a yerfdog 3206 spriderbox. but cut off the back of my rollcage off. and doing just exactly like a yerfdog spiderbox.

Go for it man.

then i will make a custom rack. the cool thing is i am going to put rack and pinion on it from a small car i got a front end in my shed. and i am going to make it into a oneseater instead of 2 which it is now. it will be huge

Dont add to much weight and dont make it to much bigger

the front end is basicall the size of the ones on yerfdogs. and i am just going to more the steering to the center for a oneseater

hey fox buggy, im about to start the same project just tore down my older manco silver fox last week to do the same thing. new gy6 w/reverse and front end w/ rack. i adapted a spiderbox front end to my manco xtk10 which is like the big brother to the silverfox w/ a 10 horse subaru, robin motor and have had pretty good luck so far. huge improvement!! where in florida are you maybe we can trade ideas ? you can email me at [url]jd91x@yahoo.com[/url]
ill post some pics of the big manco when i get a chance. give me a holler, john

Check the weight of the parts you want to put on the front end. I don't know what type of car parts you want to add but I'm guess your about to add close to 100lbs to the front of the buggy. Not a good idea unless you get a bigger engine and consider more fab work.

Can you get the weight of the parts you want to install and post a pic, Also for the rear remember the GY6 mounts from the top. No motormpounts on the bottom. You will also have to rig a mount to adjust the slack on your chain.
