Our go-kart frames are best used for yard karts, blacktop, and for non-racing dirt track use. Does anybody see any problems with this, or have a better way of doing this? It seems like there are some very knowledgeable people on this forum and I'd love to hear any input you have. Liberty Karts fabricates medium and heavy duty go-kart frames for the do-it-yourselfer. I thought of getting piping that will fit as snug as possible over the frame rails where I cut them, overlap a few inches on both ends then weld it in place. I have never done anything like this before really, I was thinking of cutting the cart in half behind the pedals and getting some steel pipe to extend it a couple feet. The only welding I've done is my charge piping and exhaust and some other random small stuff with a Harbor Freight flux core welder, which I will also be using on this project Mig is one of the easiest to learn, but it still takes some skill and effort to make good welds.
