Check out how I've converted this Power
Wheels Big Foot into a gas powered go cart.
I started this little project when a
neighbor down the road from me was
throughing out a power wheels bigfoot.
After checking our inventory of parts,
I went and asked for the old toy, Sure
enough he gave it to me. Since then, We've
reinforced the frame , added new axles
(front and back), Took out all the old.
electronics, and added a gear box and
drive shaft.

The cover is still the original cover, but
it needed to be repainted and modified. The
front end had to be completely cut out (except
the sides) to fit in the new engine.The body
mounts had to changed too (from the cover to
the front axle). The rest of the cover was
sanded down and painted.

The Go kart can't take alot of abuse (due to its small frame and Wheel base) So I plan to use it as a show
Go cart in /car shows/fairs/and mybe some parades.

2004 update, this project has been put on hold since the drive trains transmission has gone Kaput. Its
currently buried in the shed.
|
2011 update, the go cart has been disassembled. the frame and the body have been scrapped, but all the
other parts are still in my dad's garage.
|
2016 Update, this project idea has been reborn!, in a sense. We are helping to build a Power Racer
for the Maker Space in Akron, this is for the Power Racing Series that is held at Maker Faires
all around the world.
