I built one when I lived in the Caribbean. A family friend had a great shop and a couple of ace Portuguese mechanics. The entire cart was built from scratch in a day around a big two-stroke single. It was crazy fast, but kept breaking chains. No pictures, but just imagine the cobbiest attempt at locomotion ever built (the steering wheel came from a 12� 150# gate valve). The next day, I moved on to pushing coral around with his Cat D9.It was a great week for a 15 year old kid...Those Honda 3-wheelers are notoriously evil-handling. Part of the problem was the lack of a fourth wheel, but much was due to the live axle. Because both wheels turn as though they incorporated a diff lock, turning will be dicey whether it has three wheels or four. It will handle better if only a single rear wheel is driven.

Probably everyone here has made a go kart when they were a kid..
That's what I was looking for... wasn't aware of the live axle. (I flipped more than my share of these things back when I was young... and put them through the ice, and into rivers and and and...).Hmm. I'll keep my eyes open for something better suited.edit: although...this thing would only ever see loose dirt, sand and gravel... a live axle might work better.
You might be better off buying a used one some kid has out grown

The live axle would make for better drifting
Yeah, that's where I'm leaning... farm fun... it's not a party til a pallet is on fire, and someone is revving an engine of some kind.
Where's the fun in that?
I guess I�m more of a rider than a fabricator. Everyone is different.
