NOW I understand your desire to use 'Busa motors...I recently watched an episode of "ToyMakerz" on TV's "Velocity" channel in which a 3/4 size full-on F1 type racer was powered by a 1441cc 'Busa engine...never seen any engine rev up as fast as that one did and it was so powerful that I doubt any size rear tires would have maintained traction.
I've always had a vision of a "large" go-kart with a powerful motor in it...of course, I was always envisioning automotive engines...that "toy" featured on that episode of "ToyMakerz" would be the epitome of my dream toy. It would be incredibly expensive, though...but WHAT A TOY  !!!!!
Cheers!!
