    wow 50-60 mph good luck …. a 5hp briggs & straton engine will only get you to 30mph unless you want to take 6 miles getting to that speed …. meaning if you want speed and quick gearing is important ….as far as plans i dont know of any but im sure there out there

    u ever look into converting a riding lawn mower into a go cart? lots of those go near sixty mph or more. do some research on the the subject. a solid axel is required amoung also changing the gear ratio of the belts. i hear this is the new fad.

    This plan will work trust me I’m fourteen and planning on doing this when I move out take the motors off a lawn mower and use them. Make sure you take the propellers off and make sure it’s gasoline powered. You do not want something that fast it would be way to fast 50 to 65 hah
