Build An Off Road Go Kart

An off road go kart is a four-wheeled car meant for off road use unlike the longer established go karts meant for flat circuits. Over the last few years off road karting has risen to being beloved operation featuring an ever-increasing array of vehicles. The off road scene is amidst an evolutionary change, much like the general automobile sector. The origins of off road go kart is still a widely speculated one as the car went through improvement stages. Over the years there have been so many claimants for the invention that it becomes difficult to a specifically pinpoint one. Nevertheless, it is widely agreed that Honda instigated the trend with the release of the 'Odyssey' in 1977. It was a single seater off road go kart powered by a 250cc two stroke motor featuring a Cvt automatic transmission. The original differences in the middle of a conventional go kart car and the off road counterpart is the roll and larger tyres which allows a greater ground clearance and improved traction.

Decline: The Odyssey proved to be a beloved car and soon Honda released an upgraded version, Fl350 in 1985. Honda improved the roll cage, threw in a 350 cc motor featuring an galvanic starter and front and back suspension. Then in 1989, Honda came up with the Fl400 in two versions, one with a dual seats, it featured a liquid cooled 400cc motor and also came with increased suspension to deal with the greater load. However, the increased price was too much for kart enthusiasts to absorb and Honda finally discontinued yield in 1990. Though these aging units still have an enthusiasts' following, their basic achievement was being able to create a team of enthusiasts and alerting the racing world of the immense possibilities of the off road vehicles.

Present Generation: The present generation of the off road go karts are all primarily of Chinese production, these garnered a lot of following who are willing to overlook the reliability factor in favour of their cheap and involving nature. There exists a thin line when it comes to differentiating off road karts and off road buggies. The manufacturers themselves are perplexed about the usage of the term "buggy" and "go kart" that they have been often interchanged. The major variation in the middle of the two is that go karts are built from scratch and does not involve modifying an aged car like the buggy. Moreover, the go karts are not of course intended for road use and are crafted sans a differential. In the Us, the term "buggy" is any way used to enumerate a car which may be referred to as a "go kart" in other parts of the world. Buggies are constructed by modifying an existing vehicle, regularly the Volkswagen Bug. They are used for both off road and on road purposes; the off road mentioned refers generally to deserts and beaches. Just as the off road go karts are evolved cousin of their on road counterparts, there are breeds of buggies which are being increasingly used for traversing through difficult terrains and trails.

The ScanGaugeII is a 3-in-1 automotive computer that combines a multifunction trip computer, diagnostic scan tool, and up to 37 digital gauges in one small package. It connects easily to your vehicle's On-Board Diagnostic (OBDII) port and communicates directly with the vehicle's computer. Not sure if your car uses OBDII or Controller Area Network (CAN)? The unit will automatically determine which system to use and switch to it. The ScanGaugeII works on all 1996 or newer OBDII cars, including gas, diesel, propane and hybrid vehicles, as well as vehicles with the latest CAN systems. A detachable cable allows for easy transfer between multiple vehicles. Its menu-driven operation means there's no need to memorize complex sequences, and no tools are required for installation.

Expandable Add-A-Gauge Technology
The ScanGaugeII has been redesigned with expandable Add-A-Gauge (aka XGauge) technology. Add to the original 12 gauges by customizing the ScanGaugeII to monitor up to 25 more--depending on your specific vehicle's sensor design. Four gauges can be displayed simultaneously and can help determine fuel consumption rates, allowing you to adjust driving behavior and save gas. At the same time, keep an eye on coolant temperature, engine speed, and much more in real time. If there is a young driver in the house or friends borrow your car, the ScanGaugeII can record speeds of up to 158 mph and store the information for you to view later, so you will know just how fast your young driver or friend was going last night. If the unit was disconnected, you'll know: An indicator will be displayed in the trip data.

ScanGaugeII mounts easily to your dash.

Gauges include:

• Horsepower
• Fuel Consumption Rate to 1/100th per gallon/liter
• Vehicle speed (MPH)
• Fuel Economy
• Cost Per Mile/Cost Per Trip
• Manifold Pressure (not available on some vehicles)
• Battery Voltage
• Engine Load
• Coolant Temperature
• Throttle Position
• Intake Air Temperature
• Ignition Timing
• Engine Speed (RPM)
• O2 Sensor Data
• Fuel Trim
• Hybrid Battery Charge (for Toyota Prius and Ford Escape)
• And many more, depending on your vehicle's sensor design

Scan Tool
The ScanGaugeII includes a diagnostic scan tool that can check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), clear the codes, and turn off the "Check Engine" light on 99% of 1996 and newer vehicles. (However, this feature may not work on some trouble codes in Dodge vehicles.) If any DTCs are found, the ScanGauge will show how many there are as well as the codes themselves. Then you can use the Internet or repair manual to find out which is the failed part is, so you can repair it yourself or know what needs to be fixed at the mechanic's shop.

Multifunction Trip Computer
Four sets of data are automatically recorded on the trip computer: Current, Today, Previous Day, and Tank Trip. The "current" trip restarts after the engine has been off for more than 3 minutes. The "today" trip restarts after the vehicle has not moved for 9 hours, and the data from "today" is moved to "previous day" when you restart the car, so you don't have to reset the computer every time you begin a trip. "Tank trip" resets when you fill up the tank. It can provide you with "to empty" data and other useful information, which can be viewed any time during the trip. The trip computer also integrates information from the Cost Per Mile gauge. Simply enter how much you paid per gallon or liter of fuel, and the ScanGauge will automatically calculate the cost of your trips as you drive. The ScanGaugeII features 12 individually stored parameters, including:

ScanGaugeII features 63 backlit colors. View Larger
