[crooks karts]

i recently bought a carter trailhunter with a 10hp tecumseh and no cage. it went about 32 mph( with 2 adults even) i bought a brand new 16hp "clone" type engine for it . has a 40 series converter which i had to buy a new driver because i destroyed the original one trying to remove it from the old motor ! ANYWAYS......i would like to get about 40 mph out of it. any suggestions ? also it has 18x9.5x8 on reas and 16x6x8 on the front. can i just put a set of 20-22 inch tall tires on the rear ?

one more thing........the brakes SUCK ! it has 2 band brakes.......i'm thinking of upgrading to hydraulic. and where can i find reasonable hydraulic shocks for this beast ?

any and all help is appreciated ! thanx !

Crooks Welcome to , I second that motion on the band brakes , I would try HERE. As for mods , removing the governor (not recommended) bigger jets, Air filter replacement,.. Hope it helps.
