As with the front - the rear wheels
are commonly available and inexpensive 10" pneumatic split steel
rim type wheels. A minor modification is made to the rear wheels
to add a torque plate which engages with ground torque transfer
flats on the drive box main output axles.
The rear tyres see more wear and
tear than the fronts - they are the drive wheels and also
provide the kart's braking forces.
