Like kso4 and Mach-1 say, build an off-road kart. Paved track karts have been done to death.
Throw in plenty of FJY-style engineering; fabricate spindles that are shorter than the C-shaped brackets that house them. Pop a SB valve spring in the remaining space and you have dirtball independant suspension. Don't forget to build in a little caster. Tractor Supply style spherical rod ends would allow a little toe as well.
You can also create a swingarm in the back that the motor is mounted on. With the entire motor riding on the swingarm, chain tension is a non-issue. Look for a clapped-out Chinese quad on Craigslist for a parts donor.
Finally, don't wimp out with a cheapo centrifugal clutch. Buy a Comet Torq-a-verter and watch it fly.Comment

Off road Wheelchair, or a unicycle.
There's no shame in dumpster diving. The worst thing I ever dove for was ICE CREAM. I was at the quickie mart and a guy in a suit was hauling it out of a broken freezer and heaving it in. It was mostly still frozen and 14 degrees out. Drove to work. We ate what wouldn't fit in the freezer immediately. The rest later. I got $170 worth. Who knows how much was in there.

That would make either a bad ass bar stool or a screamin off road cart.Hauling ass & sucking gas are the best uses for a truck.Comment

Re: Dumpster Diving Pays! Now Tell Us What To Do
step number one: figure out why it's in the dumpster in the first place. Probably won't turn over

Re: Dumpster Diving Pays! Now Tell Us What To Do
Jim, turns over and ....ta daaaaaaaa RUNS!
It's got a pull cord as well as the 'lectric start. Zapped it with a little Ether and whamo it was making steam on my basement floor.
It was in the dumpster because the idiot that manages the building is too lazy to do anything but point toward the dumpster and tell guys, "put it in there".
I'm just about positive that before I started it, it was run for less than 10 minutes in it's life.

Re: Dumpster Diving Pays! Now Tell Us What To Do
It's a room located just below the bedrooms of your sons where you make noise and wake up said sons. In turn this causes your wife to become very angry.

Re: Dumpster Diving Pays! Now Tell Us What To Do
I thought sons bedrooms were supposed to be on the 2nd floor, so there's some space beteen the basement and the bedrooms
