Battina Kiran Kumar (Batch: 2020–2024) designed and fabricated a compact go-kart with a strong focus on performance, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Utilizing SolidWorks for 3D modeling and ANSYS for stress analysis, he developed a vehicle featuring a Mild Steel (AISI 1018) chassis for its excellent strength, machinability, and weldability. The go-kart is powered by a Honda Shine 125cc air-cooled, 4-stroke petrol engine, delivering 10.5 HP at 7500 RPM and 11 Nm of torque at 6000 RPM, coupled with a 4-speed manual transmission and chain drive. The kart measures 1960 mm in length, 1100 mm in width, and 900 mm in height, with a wheelbase of approximately 1300 mm, a ground clearance of 30–40 mm, and an overall weight of around 80–90 kg (excluding the driver). It employs an Ackermann-type manual steering system and mechanical disc brakes on the rear wheels, with slick racing tyres (10×4.5–5 inches) for enhanced grip. Safety features include a seat belt, emergency kill switch, and reinforced frame. This project provided hands-on experience in mechanical design, vehicle dynamics, fabrication, and project management, enhancing technical knowledge and fostering innovation in automotive engineering.
