Here, it's easier to give you the link. As for top speed, with the lawnmower wheels, i have to guess about 45mph. It lost some top end with the smaller rear tires. First link in the thread is to my home page, click on photos/pictures up at the top.

We paid 200 dollars for it but its worth it. We have to change the brake on it though. I went through a puddle in a parking lot and almost lost control. Its wheels sliped and start to skid to the side. I want to get some gravel and dump it in the parking lot so that I could make doughnuts. I'll take some pics when I re-paint it and weld the bats to it.

That is a optical alushen(sp). I should have paid better atention to the 1st picture, i must be going blind! I have another cart frame, i can either put a in line 4 cylinder Honda engine on it, or bite the bullet a get a 25 hp Briggs + Stratton Vangaurd with fuel injection. I would rather put the Vangaurd on it, but i allready have the Honda engine. It's eather a 600, 650, 700, 750.
