Default Building another G16

I ordered a set of 12 inch wheels with 23 inch tires, Jakes 5 inch lift kit, headlight kit etc.

The wheels and tires came in today and I am a little concerned about the weight/mass on whether my little 10hp G16 will manage them?

Opinions?

I have already done the clutch spring thing in the back a few years ago from learning that process on here. I have also put a new centrifical drive pully on the motor.

The cart runs great thanks to a lot of help on here, but was getting to be pretty humble looking.

I had added a back seat and windshield, all of which is going to come apart now totally for the repaint to "Sassy Grass Green" similar to the Dodge Challenger color.

Thank you DareDog, that gives me some confidence I was looking for. I was just amazed at the weight when I took them out of the box.

I appreciate your help!

Check the PSI on them. Here when we Took them out of box they had 40 psi. Which is way over kill. I run 8 psi in them.

More good information, thanks. Yes I have ran into that before as I think they do it to make sure the tire seats against the rim and doesn't leak.

I finally got a chance to get started on the cart today.

I use mine daily, so it is real hard to take it out of commission.

It is pretty darn fast now without the top, windshield and back seat.

New Challenger Green

It wont let me post a green picture. Guess I don't have enough posts or something. It sure is fast, peels out right now it is so light.
