My kids wanted gokart, but gokarts are good for flat tarmac – on gravel bumpy roads they could really hurt Your kidneys and rear areas ;-)

So I’ve bouht some scrap yard parts from old cars, some metal profiles and made the full suspension go kart. Front suspension is almost like in buggy cars. No proffesional tools (apart welder) were used for the construction, so I think that every diy enthusiast can do that alone.
