Definitely not a Scorpion, though someone may have used the seatback from a Scorp. Scorpion has a wide steering hoop, and main rails are different. Pan doesn't hang as far below the frame tubes. Scorp's main rails curve down to meet the front axle tube. Here's Charlie C.'s. Wheelbase has been shortened, but main rails and steering hoop are factory. TJ

Strange!
The frame is similar to a hornet but it has an outward bow to it looking from the front down the sides. My hornet is straighter. Seat back is bowed unlike the hornet. And the lower steering shaft mount is different to than the hornets I have seen. The lettering on the seat back may not be what the kart is. Oh the front spindle hangers are not hornet either. Fun trying to figure it out but who knows! Brad

Looks like it says Swinger to me. Just another SWAG...
