I did kind of edit that out of the video! I’ll talk about it more in the second part when I finish the shell. But it’s a qs138 90h with a votol 150/2 controller.

It collects a lot of leaves as you drive. And I need a better way to raise the rear suspension. It clunks when you go over a bump.

“What the hell! I just got this hole where I liked it!”

Yes!

So this is just the testing shape to make sure it all works. This isn’t its final form. The velo thing is pretty cool! But I don’t want to just buy something. I want to create something!

We let it cure a couple of days before sticking it in there!

He looks pretty happy to me

Yeah. That pacing was over about a 30 minute period. And it’s just because something majorly changed with his normal surroundings. Usually he just sits happily in his basking light.

@@SkippyRockGame give homie some pizza every now and then

The motor is rated for 4000w. But the controller can push it up to about 15kw. The motor controller and battery was right at $2000. I spent 1200 in parts from renegade karts. 400 for wheels and tires. Brakes 300, differential 200. Those are the bigger ticket items I can think of. But it’ll end up costing right at $5000. I know it doesn’t look like it at the end of this video! But by the end of the next video it should look like a proper old school race car. They say a cyclekart should cost 2-3000 to make, and if I’d gone gas, I’d be just over that. But I bought some premade parts instead of making them myself in order to save time.

@@SkippyRockGame You are inspiring me to build one. I can see there will be a steep learning curve learning everything, like running a 4000w motor up to 15kw??? Wouldn't that burn it out or something? I was so impressed how stable it seemed even when you hit 50 mph. Do you think you were running the motor over 4000 watts to get there? When do you think your next video will be out?

Haha. I had setup the camera to see if I could catch him going in it for the first time. When I scrolled through the footage to see if he did I realize I had accidentally captured his hilarious exploration!

Thanks!

Nah, it setup a couple of days before we stuck it in there. There was also some extra bits around the bottom edge I was able to chip off with a hammer and the thing stayed intact!

You’ve got to be comfortable while you weld! Also. Why do all my socks have little holes in them?

All tortoises are turtles but not all turtles are tortoises!

@@SkippyRockGame Correct.

So he can die in a few months, right? Just like PETA, you are literally the worst.

Derp derp... People who make this very easily looked up and avoidable error are ridiculous 😂 Edit: in case it wasn't clear I mean you... All tortoises are turtles

?

I added the links to the main parts! And really Steve’s plans come with links to all the little parts.

I’m working on it!

you noticed the lack of reinforcement on his grand canyon of a C notch eh?

Ok. Because I took this thing apart to paint and start working on the shell. There is still some wobble. I’ve heard you can tighten spokes and what not. I’ll look into. Thanks for the vocabulary! It helps when searching up videos!

That’s true… But I think my friends wanted it more as a gimmick to show off!

@@SkippyRockGame Don't get me wrong. This is awesome! I will follow your tips for my secret door / book case! Cheers.

That link is what I ordered. And that’s the company I used. I also ordered my disc brake and sprocket from them. Sprocket didnt work for my motor and chain. But the disc brake worked fine!

Yes! It’s been great. And we were able to sleep on it the first night.

Hey Steve! Thanks for the comment! I watched a ton of your videos before starting this project. I’m working on the shell now. It’s taking longer than I expected but hopefully by the end of October I’ll have the final video out. My final motor setting should be very similar to the 200cc motor. I have a better battery now and it seems like it could easily go over 60 but honestly that’s just terrifying. I’ve decided it’s much more fun to get to 30-40 quickly than it it’s to just have a ridiculous top speed!

@@SkippyRockGameif I know anything from playing Mario kart, 200cc is EXTREMELY fast

I think that all your fiberglass and the paint will help you hold your fine machine up well for about 14 months

The rim tape stuff? Probably. I realized I missed that after I’d already started putting them together. I’ll add it if(when) I pop a tube

Haha. Yeah. I did it for the visual of making it look like a golf cart. But it has lead to two problems. It gets dirty in the interior quickly and because of using it on dirt roads and the woods, the exterior gets dirty quickly. Which without doors is hard to clean.

Just eBay. They have a bunch of different listings all right around the same price. www.ebay.com/itm/126405195526

Haha. Go to the cyclekart website. They seem very stringent. And they even have a question and answer area one says something like “what about using a bigger engine? Great have fun, but that’s not a cyclekart”

Thank you for the compliment! My goal with my channel has always been to show how things actually go to encourage people to do things on their own. Just because things don’t go perfect doesn’t mean you should give up!

@@SkippyRockGame so true. I found that every activity is a process of eliminating wrong approaches to solving the problem at hand and overcoming the fear of thinking that you will make a mistake & make things worse!

Youve got a new subscriber!

@@SkippyRockGame thanks for jumping on the channel and hope that you enjoy the ride!

I would like to see if I can make it road legal. But my wife says it’s too small. Nobody would see me

@@SkippyRockGame Put a few flags and lights on it😂

So I found out in some areas there is a class of vehicles called, light urban vehicles, which if follow certain rules can be made road legal. I think like areas where it’s legal to drive golf carts around everywhere. So in the right area you could potentially make something like this road legal!

Interesting. I’ll check it out!

90% of my personality comes from futurama

So cyclekart is a style of build using 17 in motorcycle tires and trying to replicate a vintage race car. You are also suppose to have a pretty specific frame size and design. I’m working on part two now which will hopefully make it look like a race car!

@@CoupleofBunkies thanks! And it’s about to get even cooler as I finish out the outer shell!

eBay. Honda ct-90 wheels/clones

They used some tire by Hercules they had to order from an online supplier. It was the only thing they could find that would fit the leaf wheels. When they get a chance they can post a more detail listing of what the tires are.

Differential is peerless differential. I found a supplier online. The motor and controller was from electric and co. QS138 90H with votol em150/2

Hey! I represent that remark!

Peerless differential, it has the axles built in!
