    I went to school for mechanical engineering science while I was in the Marine Corps, and got my ASE certs after getting out. From both a mechanical engineering perspective, as well as an automotive technical standpoint this is beyond impressive. Building a go-cart from scratch is fun, and only mildly difficult depending on your suspension, drivetrain, steering system, etc.
    However the mechanical strain and allowable tolerances increases exponentially as the size of the vehicle increases. The planning, dedication, and work that went into this is absolutely an outstanding achievement.

    I was watching in awe the entire video. This my friends, this man is living proof that if we set our mind to do something, we will achieve it. You just have to put in the effort. Even revisiting this video after 2 years, it still makes me believe that whatever dream we have, don't just let it be a dream. Make it a reality. Thank you for this video Benjamin. Hats off to all who were involved in this project.
