 | Subject: Dragster rear hub question. Tue Jun 07, 2011 1:02 pm | |
| Hi, I picked up 2 Go-Kart rear rims and tires. They are a 6 hole bolt pattern .Because this is more or less a learning build with a budget,What are you using for rear hubs? I went to my steel tube supplier and while I was there I asked him about making hubs for these rims.He said $225.00 each.Well that won't happen.Are they no matter what going to be a custom made part or is there something store bought that I can use. The axle is a 1/2" dia.I'am using the Raco gearbox . Thanks. |

| Ill get some pics out a complete rear and parts in a couple of days if you have cases you will just need the kit and bore your cases for half inch bearings or send to me and ill do it for you im also looking for raco cases if anyone has any. These hold up very good and a lot cheaper than than the other rears where a custom to they dont look pretty but pretty dont win races. Im currently running one under a 90cc dragster whith 2 stage nitrous set up the same way my new era one with no problems ive broken skellengers and the new era ones are hard to find thats why I looked in to something else I dont think any thing is bullit proof with 80cc and up.but weve been running these for a year now with good results. |

| i have no problems with my rears,you can put a 125cc to my rears and still not blow them up.also my hubs are made to clamp around the axle with 1/8 keyway and set screw for the keyway.these hubs dont come loose |
