It looks like fat PVC pipe the diameter of the back wheels to me which makes sense, it's tough stuff, would certainly slide like crazy, and all you need to do is inflate the tire inside the pipe to hold it on.
that is correct 250mm pvc fits kart wheels perfect, you can use the black pe piping if you want a little more grip than pvc
i'm going to make a hi-po go-kart trike to race at grange. 85+ mph complete with long peddles maybe duel h2o morini's. or yamaha 100's nice and low. dennis
i made my axles with pillow block bearings and steel rod.i mounted the sprockets to quad bike front wheel hubs then locked them to the axle.one with a motorized bike motor will go around 20mph. the one with twin 49cc pocket bike motors done almost 50mph i ran 2 chain/sprocket setups to the one axle and used adjustable clutched so i could sync them to come in at the same rpm.i made a 1-2 cable for the throttle and synced the carbs by sliding pop sticks in the back of the carbs and opening the throttle,when both pop sticks drop at the same time the carbs are synced
I saw one on the top of a van in Hartford last week, Pablo. No engine and was wondering. Never dawned on me that it was electric.
Whooly stuff, that must be sick. With front brakes, you could just sit, spin and spraying road sand. lol, be a great racing name. "Sit-N-Spin"
Dang it, now I really wanna build one.
KiwiKidd, I am thinking if you did a DIY with a utility engine, could just use the stock tank or most lawn care engine tanks. The pictures look like motorized bicycle tanks. Those are pretty inexpensive and available all over the net and from most of the sponsors on either side.
Not sure of who sells em down your way. AussieDan or some one else will know.

Sorry there called crazy carts here's a ken block parady using a crazy cart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKOaF7esBFY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
These things are awesome. I want to build one.
But I think it would be great with a rear swing arm, small front suspension fork, low center of gravity like the white one with the horizontal engine, and small dirt off road kart tires.
Keep up the good work.
