Reviving an old, cheap, GoCart.... Maybe?

[rawfuls]

Hey guys,

After talking to eovnu (Mike), the one with the creative barbie jeep... I'll be skipping the tires for now, and will probably be trying out some new batteries (6s 5000mAh anyone?), and if it doesn't do what I want, will probably sell off the battery..

The motor on the right wheel will act sort of a diff, and make it easier to turn, as opposed to a solid axle... A solid axle will also lose some power & traction..

I pulled some wheels off of our wheel dolly that my dad got from harbor freight (so essentially, the same wheel I'm going to get), just to see if they're up for size.. Looks like it's going to be a bit more work than just drill a few holes & go.

The sprocket looks to be a bit too small, but the brake cylinder, I could probably chop off (could use something else for brakes), and so the mount seems to be the main issue.

Pics below.

Any ideas? -Excuse my ignorance, have never really ventured into this world-

It's more work than it is worth. Those go-carts are cheap and barely handle the power and speed that comes stock.

It's like putting a brushless system in a radio shack r-c. You can make it work, but it will just tear things apart.

Honestly, you are better off just spending $2-300 on a better go-kart.

And without an LVC you will quickly blow any single lipo you use.

I don't like to discourage projects, you just have a lot you haven't considered.
