What do you guys think about his engine setup for a karting car? With this engine setup lengthening of the frame will no be necessary. But a downside to this would be that only 20% of the weight would be on the front axle and 80% of the weight is on the rear axle. How would that weight distribution affect handling?

Now i'm thinkin maybe we'll put the engine over the rear axel to slightly improve the balance. Also idk if it'll ever skid since the motor outputs only about 4.6hp at 3600 rpm though we've managed to get it to rev up to like 5500 rpm, not sure about the hp at that rpm tho.

Hunter Morgan
in my kart i would keep the engine as far back as I can to make up for my body and to keep the rear end with traction also if you want more power the cheap harbor freight 212 predator makes some decent power for the price

Yeah a very possible solution is that we cut the frame and weld on about 30cm worth of lengthening pipes. This way the engone will fit on the right side like it usually does in karts.
