KX500 outlaw cart OH YEAH!!!!
« on: March 10, 2014, 04:21:09 PM »
Here is hrtucaine's KX500 powered shift kart project.
He's looking to get about 100 hp out of it to compete with some CR500 powered machines....



The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

I missed the spacer....
It will be interesting to see what has been done to the rest of the engine..

I never got into the Outlaw oval racing...but that thing is quite bad a$$ none the less...I wouldn't turn down an offer to take it for a rip, that's for sure.
Excuse me, ma'am...but you've got extremely nice legs!!!...what time do they open???                                                                                                               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8tCgN3aryQ

Hi thanks for the post and feedback.

What you see is a stock KX 500 with some minor mods to the head.
Head Mod, has additional ANA fitting welded in for cooling burb tank. ( radiator is under the nose.) Head has been milled a little not sure how much will find out when I tear it down end of the month. ( I have one more race this weekend. Actually my 13 year old son races it!!!!!!)

Plan ( build up second motor I have spare with bad rod bearing at the crank.)
ISO lower rotating assembly.
I'll post some pics of my other pro-circuit ported / steel sleeve cylinder this weekend.
I have a new wiseco 87mm Piston I will be using with ported cylinder and mod head. That's my start for now.

Thanks.

I'm sure the power has to be respectable especially for a 13 year old.
A few well chosen mods and he is gonna need a diaper change  :lol:

That thing is SAWEET! I'd like to see some video of your son racing it. Good luck this weekend.
It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

It's completely stock.

Do you know what thickness your base gasket was?
