Design and fabrication of UMP go-kart chassis

Go-kart has become more and more popular sport in these days and Go-kart chassis have made a major development over the last few years. The performance of a Go-kart is depends a lot on the chassis design. A good chassis needs to be able to flex and twist. Thus, this project takes a look at the inves...
