Is that a thing?

I had to heat water with oranges in it to get the smell out 😂

It was hard. But I am genuinely happy with the result. I’d love a new one though. But over £200 is a rip off

Minty fresh!

So pleased I can help. The next video will hopefully be out Tuesday. I’m filming the front rebuild as we speak and taking off to get jigged

Look forward to the next one were would be the best place to get a gx 160 engine

At the start of this season I had no interest in all this but my team mate this year (Brad) drilled all this in to me and it all just made sense. I’ve started putting the kart back together and it’s super easy because it’s all spotless

In my case you can't educate stupid so I give up but it's good practice get to know your kart 😊

I got a bit OCD with it 😂 it took WAY longer than I expected. But it will make the build easier! As for the oven……. It stank! I should have cleaned the hubs throughly first! I had to put a solution of water and lemons in the oven and cook it to get the smell out

Thanks dude

@@ThiagoMazzeo this is the first time since building it at the beginning of the season. But the kart doesn’t live with me. I’m not sure I’d do this kind of a strip mid season

Yeah it’s the exit for the rental kart pits. I agree it should be put away when the rentals are not on track

Sometimes shit happens. I was fine. Not a broken bone or even a bruise. They were apologetic and I even went back out. It was all gravey

Wouldn’t have had to have deployed if you put the wheel on right!

Always the funny man

I didn’t want to disappoint you 😉🤣

It’s a mega sound. Really really liked it.

It’s a lovely track. I’ve always liked it. Nice to have it 35 min from home

I think it took us about an hour to get there. We lived over by Heathrow. All my testing was done at rye , and I was a member of the club too. That was when the Deavinsons used to own it. I don’t know if it’s still in their hands🤷‍♂️. I done most of my club racing at kimbolten and rye. And the super one series all around the country.

I’m not sure what you mean. Other than talking about PFI 😂

That’s sounds bonkers. Would love to have a go. However since this vid went up a few of the F300 aixro guys have offered for me to have a go. Those things are rotary and about 40bhp

@@AlexVangeenRacing This is the real deal!! FIA Historic Playlist... ua-cam.com/play/PLITMivSQQICEfC4zZp4c8jK-CyfZSx-jq.html

Yeah I have driven a rotax at rye this year. It was faster and scarier lol Check the vid for it!! ua-cam.com/video/aaT3lSGezEI/v-deo.htmlsi=mCs-OzEzskcmlgIX

I’ve already lost a magnet for my microphone and an Allen key 😂 I was in a shop the other day looking at flooring. But I keep making excuses why not to

Thanks dude. Yeah was fun day. Maybe an F300 is on the cards soon

Thank dude! Glad you enjoyed it. Yup so closes only 48 now. Feels miles away though!

It’s slower but way lighter and nicer to drive. The racing as you have seen is so close

not this year, but was a fun toy to play with

So much fun! dying to get back in a kart now! don't touvh that kart of yours, don't want you going any faster!

Would have loved a full day to get dialed in

Mr Purchase was very brave

The GX kart on its own on a track isn’t that much fun. BUT in a pack of 30 karts it’s mental that I’ll never get bored of. But on a test day this thing was a hoot

Ryan’s a funny boy

Thank you for the edit. I’m glad I made you laugh

Yeah I really enjoyed it! Despite the oain

@@AFFMotorsport if I had the time money and energy maybe but it’s not necessary if the kart is running well, just doing good prep is enough. But also, the kart didnt live with me during the season, so was never possible.

Absolutely!

Oh absolutely! It’s in desperate need. I have to get it partly built back before I take it to the jigg place. Won’t be until after Xmas

Thank you! That’s means so much ❤️

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I very much plan to do a rebuild vid. To do it in this detail might be a 2 parter!

@ yep, fully appreciate the time investment needed for these. Keep up the great work

The trick is she didn’t know……. Then I left it out on the kitchen table……. Busted myself. But luckily I was done with it

@ 😬

No, mine did last year it’s why we changed it. But what you can do to help this is move the steering wheel collar closer up to the column mount. When I do my rebuild I’ll try to remember to show that.

The sprockets we use aren’t available as split versions. And the method Alex shows here is incredibly easy and efficient, so there’s not really a reason to do anything different

More risks of misalignment. It’s why we use a super thin saw. When I make the full video it will show the saw we use.

​@@AlexVangeenRacing understood ! Thanks for sharing !

@@BradPhilpot I'm not challenging the method, just to be clear. I used to race GX390 (428 chain) and we had the split sprockets. I've seen the 219 in the split version as well, but not sure if this is the chain you guys use. The 428 sprocket wouldn't be possible to bend, but I think the method you use is very good indeed.

I have not worked with either but if I had to guess I would think the cut one is actually faster for assembly less hardware you have to line up and tighten down yeah??

To take the axel off you need to 1. Take off engine 2. Take off rear wheel and hub 3. Take out key way 4. Undo 6 grub screws 5. Release screws on both bearing carriers 6. Release screws on brake disc carrier 7. Release screw on sprocket carrier 8. Push axel through 9. Take off sprocket carrier 10. Take off old sprocket 11. Put on new sprocket 12. Do the reverse of steps 1-9 13 make sure all your sprocket alignment is correct. Or 1. Make sure your sprocket is cut 2 . Bend it on (reverse to the vid) 3. Reattach it to the carrier.

It’s a 5 minute job vs a 45 minute job. Taking an axle out involves loads of steps, each one very time consuming and risking the misalignment of your brake disc carrier and sprocket afterwards. You’d also have to clean out and re-loctite all the grub screws. Changing an axle is a huge task. Changing a sprocket that you’ve cut like in the video takes just a few minutes and is super easy. Take it from us: we finished P1 and P5 in the standings and had zero issues caused by this all season.

@@paulwilson5451 the same way but just in reverse. This clip is from a bigger full strip down video I’m making. That will be out in a week or so. There will then be a rebuild video.

I mean that’s incredibly picky and technically you’re correct but 🤷🏽‍♂️

😂 I’m glad you enjoyed it. the next time I mention weight I’ll add all the other measurements to the screen. I’m looking to lose 1st 8lbs/10kg/22lbs by next season

@@REALdomMkarting it’s a very old video
