Tom, don't feel bad....I thought the same thing, but went further...I told him to weld the sprocket back together and just grind it down rather than buy another one...

Sprocket is 2 piece for quick gear change.........but the hub that it bolts to isn't.
The new one will be though....lol....going to make it that way when it gets here!
I don't want to tear the whole axle apart.

good point, i guess a 4wd go cart would just be a quad with a roll cage, like those ones they have now with the mini bed in the back

I thought about the 4x4 Kart also.
A customer of mine has a Lawnmower/4 wheeler repair shop,has a bunch of junk 4x4 quads and he has a few old Polaris 2 stroke 's in the bone yard.They would be the best donor because the trans with the front drive shaft out put is separate from the engine.The trans and T-case are all together,that would give you forward/reverse with high and low range.You could use the front Diff and axles as well as the A arms,spindles, front shocks.
That way you could use the comet style varible speed clutch setup like on the Kart I have.


I think I want to build mini 4X4's...lol!
