Anyone know about golf cart axles . My motor finally kerplunkt on my golf kart. Just wondering if anyone knew the HP or torque capabilities of the rear axle. I have a few different motors laying around the house. Its a yamaha golf kart

LOL i found some guys on a forum like you guys do to your buggies. Got some really really good news. The rear diff shaft is keyed! So now i just have to order a sprocket for the size shaft and run a chain! This should be a fun fun thing to build.
