Vintage Racing Kart Hits 70+ MPH
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 січ 2025
- This week, we modify Ike's racing kart with a Predator 212 by welding a larger sprocket on the clutch, and then do a top speed run to achieve 70+ miles an hour.
Thanks for Watching!

This is pure awesome, running 70 in a kart on public roads,steering one handed, with shorts a tee shirt,no goggles and an open face helmet. Murica!
Fred Ragers TM snowflake
Azaan Ashraf lol thanks, i’ve done my fair share of go kart racing and i actually race late models now, you can look up the average speed of them. lol
Fred Ragers TM i was always either flathead, or shifter carts, cuz that’s what we mostly had, we also had the animal classes but that was out of our family’s price range plus flatheads og
fo sho!
I guess im asking randomly but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
*C'MON GUYS WE KNOW IT CAN GO 100MPH !!!*
DEAN IS HERE heeeeeeeeeel yeaaaaah
with that engine on taylor's lay-down kart, they might just be able to pull 100mph. i think their biggest limiter right now is wind resistance
+Josh Hust I was just about to comment the same exact thing, it would be epic to see them do that.
If wind resistance is the problem they are officially just like lake racing Hotrodders, meaning now they need more power and some aerodynamic drag cutters...
minefan 01 that would make it slowrt
Just imagine getting pulled over.
(office pov: dispatch we have a go-kart doing upwards of 70mph)
I would frame that ticket \m/
*IT WENT UP TO 73... I SAW IT !!!*
What do y'all think of the new logo (if you can see it)??
"it'll be fine" logo is only showing on your comment, not the rest of the page.
CarsandCameras love it, but could you put some wrenches or Ike's broken predator in it as well?
Cool!
It looks good! I like it.
CarsandCameras oh ya know I guess it'll be fine😂😂
I love your cavalier approach! And here comes the but, you need some safety gear, balanced wheels, aero dynamics, and two hands on the wheel. Mount that phone. Keep it up guys. Love your vids. 88mph!!!
88mph , what is that about ?
DAVID BROWN are you stupid it's a back to the future reference.
Duh, what? thanks, I finally got it when someone mentioned time travel.
But how will they generate the 1.21 gigawatts?
GREAT SCOTT!! HOW COULD THEY HAVE BEEN SO CARELESS?!? 😱
travissq sq completely agree with you. But dam it sounds so good wound up tight. It'll be fine
love that ikes so excited he forgot to take his safety glasses off for the ride home XD
Y'all killed it! love it!
please do a shifter kart!!!! anyone agree?
Where did they go in Colorado? O don't do instagram
Be patient, all the Colorado stuff will be posted here soon enough.
harman klop yeah
Jeremy Brailsford yeah but did they do a build series and build one themselves to keep? No? Didnt think so
Yes and not a lifan, a Honda 2 stroke or the likes of.
Do not attempt? 🤷♂️ guess it's time to attempt this with my go kart 🏁
time to attempt it with a motorized bike
time to attempt in my car!
Scoop i tried this in a stock car and achieved 115
Time to attempt it on my 250r atc
Hit 195km/h on my kart WTF!!!
Honda GX390
get a phone holder or even glue a case to the steering wheel
too right, hate to see these guys hurt by trying to drive one handed in a twitchy kart at 70mph
MIGHTYDUCK1231 too much vibration
I agree. For safety purposes only.
You mean for testing purposes only?
+1
hell yes! Congratulations, I knew you guys could do it. I still think with a few more tweaks you can hit 80 to possibly the elusive 88. Great video as always.
What is up with 88mph ?
DAVID BROWN "Back to the Future" speed, lol!
Thanks. I finally got it when I read further down the comments where they mentioned time travel.
Joshua Beck i think the built 670 dragster is gonna hit 100 EASY. Fully built 670 pushing upwards of 50 hp
John i would definitely say you have came a long way.When I first started watching, you knew almost nothing about mechanical work.Now Ike has molded you into a fine mechanic. Keep up the good work you two.
If Ikes clothes weren't flapping in the wind you could get another2-3 mph
you know, i started saying "it'll be fine" because of Issac it's now a normal part of my everyday language lol
Eh. It'll be fine.
ME TOO !
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT SPEAKING IT, BUT YOU TYPE IT JUST FINE O_O
same...but im east coast born with no accent and i blurt out in full north carolina twang "it'll be fine"
Same lol
I would be so nervous working next to all those beautiful cars! Awesome channel I've been a sub for awhile
The street run was awesome! It was like street racing. This is by far one of my favorite videos you guys have done! Keep the great content coming!
thanks
Boa noite meu caro amigo do kart ,eu tenho kart preciso de ajuda de uma embreagem automático motor Honda 125cc
PLLLLLS dont hurt yourself we need your videos to live !
but try the 670 to hit 80 mph xDD
combine the 670 with taylor's lay-down kart, and i bet they easily do over 100mph
Josh Hust true but not safe needs some harnesses and roll cage
Hey y'all down by Charlotte witch means it's flat so you don't need alot of tork add a really big sprocket to the engine then put a really small sprocket to the axel use the 670 and in a long enough strait away you could reach 175 because of the gear ratio
Have someone pull you up to 25mph or you will spin or stand her up
I have an old go-cart. Because of you guys, I am starting to work on it again.
Billy Roberts How’s it doing now?
Not good, I have had some eye problems and had to quit working on it for a few days.
Billy Roberts Feel better soon and get back to it! 🙏🏼
I will and will video it.
🤟
You guys need to buy a Honda gx390 and do the following modifications to it
-Billet Rod
-Billet Flywheel
-Longstroke Crankshaft
-Remove governer and oil sensor
-Shaved and skimmed head 100'
-Billet or stainless steel push rods and valves
-Mikuni flat side 34mm carb
-Lightweight flattop piston
-Aluminum Fuel pump
-32 pound valve springs
-High flow intake
-Highflow header and muffler
-6' advanced timing key
-Port and polish
-Racing spark plug
-Stroker Billet camshaft
-ARC Billet sidecover and bearings
And to top the build off, a large dosage of 116 octane and Nos, with all these mods you will be making the best part of 65hp. Not a good idea to use a stock torque 'o' 'verter or clutch. Probably best to use a shifter kart trans designed to work with heavily modified 390's. (These engines can rev up to 8500rpm) Then put a tiny sprocket on there and hit 120mph, if I can do it you can to! (Just a heads up this cost me $3700 back in 2013)
Where can i find the shifter clutch for a 390? Have been searching for a year now!
I've got a prototype transmission for mini bikes and go-karts. I'm working on a smaller housing. Ill post a video soon.
Very cool guys.
Though I have already done it ...back in the 70's.
I raced in a Junior Class from '70 to '74. Engine was a McCullough chainsaw engine modified for aviation fuel. I would run around the block (sidewalks) testing sprocket ratios ...average speeds 65-70.
I started at the ripe age of 7 years old.
i honestly think wind resistance is what is holding you guys from a steady 75mph+. i would be interested to see what that engine and gear setup on TAYLOR's lay-down kart would do. much slicker through the air. maybe a future episode?
You fellas are the Wright brothers of go karts. Roads. Where you're goin you won't need roads.
Y'all earned my respect. Best I ever had a kart up to was 47 MPH and it felt like a pothole could have ended my life
😂😆
Congratulations! You guys are awesome! My favorite video to date!
I'm wondering if you could plumb the oil catch back into the sump to keep the oil inside the engine instead of catching it then dumping it back in later
Ike's got that thing. It's a thing not many people have. But given the opportunity he would take any machine to it's limits. It's like a drug. Once you taste it your hooked. It's F#$&@ING NASTY SPEED!!!!
WHEN YOU HIT 100 MPH HIT 120 MPH! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT. YOU ARE THE BEST UA-camRS EVER!
Attach a rocket and go 300 then!
almost 200km/h isn't safe imo
Ecotrons offers an EFI kit for small engines, and there's even one that can be fitted with a turbo. They're very expensive, but the performance gains are worth every cent and people love them.
Congratulations! Was rooting for ya
thanks
8:50 YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YEAAAAA YEAAAAAAAA WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This shit made me so happy, this was intense for me and I am in my office chair, what a great series of videos. Nothing is better than setting a goal and crushing it!
About time to invest in a motorcycle jacket and some padded jeans. If yall ever slide you would wish you did. 65 for a mesh one on ebay. Stays pretty cool. Keeps rocks and bugs off ya. also if you touch the muffler or engine it give you a couple seconds of protection.
Good stuff guys(from canada).. Dont kill yourselves, you guys are worth watching..72 was a good year!!
Still need to go back to the future!!!!!!
you dudes rock man! 72 MPH!!
(Huey Lewis and the News playing lightly your addicted to love).
"Next Marty, we got to go back" "back where doc?" "Back to the future by hitting 88mikes per hour"
"You built a go cart doc? What are you nuts?" "it makes perfect sense Marty, anyone can do 88 mile per hour in a DeLorean but the way I figure it is, if we do it in a go cart they will come" "who doc?" "the viewers Marty" que the exit music Marty and post the Cars & Camera emblem.
Good job guys.
Put a little taller tire on hit 80mph
I cant believe you guys are still doing this thats nuts!!
That cart is a 1979 Margay pro-X how did you find that?
Richard Hovis Craigslist probally
I've got older karts than that in my storage... Ever seen a 1988 Dominator ? Blue printed dual alky K78.... I ran it only one season
Congratulations dudes!!! Been a great series!
That is awesome, but may I suggest a phone holder so you can keep both hands on the wheel, you must have balls of steel to bring it up that high single handed. Great video!
GOOD JOB GUYS!! GREAT ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE CHANNEL. REASONS LIKE THIS KEEPS ME TUNING IN! I KNEW YALL COULD DO IT
thanks
Ike : you are totally nuts ! Bare knees , legs , elbows , arms and steering one handed !! I LIKE IT !!! Is your adrenallan gone yet ?
yep. lol
Wowsers!!! That's warp speed on a kart !!!! Good job !!!!
Time for a shifter kart build
Maurizio Kutic no kidding, people have been asking for that for years
Awesome work guys. Gotta love these predators.
and congratulations on the 72mph.
Loving the steering wheel cover the way it flaps in the wind at 70mph is just pure elegance LMBO 😁😂🤣
I just thought of something...it's faster than a Honda Grom
Ziggy Honda groms are 125cc...
Lmao
Camluke_11 they are 125cc
Yo me too. Its faster than you
John Smith whats ur point
To put it in perspective,we were running C open Enduro Karts in the late 1970s that were hitting 160 MPH at Daytona.They were Margay Enduro Karts with twin Komet B-Bomb 135 cc engines.We ran faster than all the bikes at the time,including Yamaha factory OW31 TZ-750 4 cylinder 2 strokes.
Now make a go kart like that one that's low and flat to where you have to lay down so you don't have body drag. Basically what I'm saying is make it as low and aerodynamic as possible
Be careful but only 30 more is not Tha hard get your Kevlar suite ready in case you need it.
Derisive Gamer they got a lay-down kart in the craigslist barn kart find video but ive never seen it in a video besides that
Mr. Fire yeah basically
Louge, baby!
Tyler Chedister That's Taylor's kart
It's my BIRTHDAY......And so glad you got to hit the 70 mph mark..yaaaa buddy
When John doesn't feel right about something u know that it's gonna be a big risk😂😂😂 but when Ike feels like it would be a huge risk then don't do it!!!
Man, this series is so good. What an entertaining journey for that top speed.
Seriously impressed with that cheap motor not blowing, even with the internal mods.
Great video I have a gokart project myself too
I love this video, I watch it every couple months. You guys are such great friends, he goes 72mph and its like one of you just went to the moon and back! Reminds me of Ricky Bobby and Cal Naughton Jr when Ricky fitst drove a NASCAR!!
Needs a "Genuine Ike's Homeade Dont-DIY-At-Home-Folks 2 speed" :)
2:28 was hilarious 😂
Do you also sell propane accessories?
go smaller on the rear sprocket now and go for the 90s or maybe 100mph or at least try for the 88mph! You got bigger balls than I got doing high 60s that long with one hand on the wheel! You're da man!!
You should build a go kart that can do burn outs. It can have from brakes and slicks on the back the 212 might work but the 346 or 420 will work the best
Small engine dude i agree with but I prefer the 670 v-twin
I never really trusted the Predator engines all that much, being a foreign produced stolen Honda blueprint and all. This video does totally disprove my fears, and I'll be going out to buy a 346 soon.
I suppose I'm a bit biased though since my favorite engines are the 5.6Hp Briggs engines from the late 90's and early 2000's. They put these engines on all kinds of lawncare equipment and power washers so you can pick them up for next to nothing (I once got a pair for 20$ at a yardsale), best part about them is how absurdly over-built they are.
Frank Tusa 670s are great in idea but when u actually get them together they don't run hard. The fuel pump runs off of vaccumm pulse the govner dosent let it go wide open to keep the fuel pump going meaning if u just remove the gov it will cut out at WOT for a 670 to work good lile a regular v twin it needs a electeic fuel pump and the gov. Removed
Ryan Rohauer yeah I was just thinking about that the 670 has to have an electric fuel pump when the gov removed.
Love the grin u had the whole ride back.
everything is for testing purposes only...
its as good an excuse as anything, really
It’ll be fine
70mph is one thing, but one handed holding a phone, your sir are a fearless speed warrior, with big kong balls.
Have you boys considered going to the top of a big hill?
Scotty Collins Why do muscle cars that are jacked up and have big tires on the back go so fast? They are always going downhill!
That sounds like some Ricky Bobby logic right there! LOL! Great stuff!
we did last week. in Colorado .
That was freaking awesome🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
i looking in to modding my go kart but don't know where to start.
Mark Jones what do you have
yay for mods! im building one from scratch
Sprocket work is the most cost effective. You can also stick an old volkswagen smog pump on any little engine and it essentially becomes a supercharger.
carb jet and pod filter. header
Mark Jones try changing the main jet in the carb,putting a cone air filter on,put a good exhaust on and a hotter spark plug in and then try it out.u wil be pleasantly surprised!and it's probably the cheapest option.
That was an awesome run! Congratulations Gentlemen!
You guys should make some sort of sheet metal body to streamline it. Reduce the drag created by your body. Doesn't have to be much, just the right shape to cut the air in front of the kart and block your body brim the wind
orient yourselfes on the oldschool dragster paintings, so metal flakes are a must! green and yellow would look amazing, make it pop :)
When this baby hits 88mph... *YOU’RE DEFINITELY GONNA SEE SOME SERIOUS SH@T!*
(cuz it’s a go kart)
Congrats guys!!! That's ripping the streets!!
"professional driver" on a "closed course" lol
*CarsandCameras* I know how it feels exactly! I have a Motorhispania RX50 full size crotch rocket with 6 gears and a 50cc liquid cooled engine. Every time I worked on it and upgraded I would go for a top speed run: 65, 66, 67....72!!!!!! The day I did I was on my way to work with the wind at my back, and downhill; and it was an epic feeling.
Glad I had on my Sportstrakker app to confirm it, looked at it like 20 times. I used to have a CBR 900 RR, and I'll be damned if that 50cc 2 smoker isn't a hell of a lot more fun.
Aerodynamics matter. Seriously. Coroplast, zip ties, then 80mph.
I'm blown away at what that 212 is capable of!
I'm suggesting you mount the phone to the steering wheel.
Ike you scared the hell out of me after I saw that you were driving and holding the phone in the other. Maybe have a holder for the phone to you can lean down and hold the steering with both hands. Like you always say. Safety 1st...hehe great job guys
its a 100cc TKM motor
TheFireDragon GAMES is it an older one? TKM don’t look like that in UK
Could the crankcase vent be routed directly back into the dipstick hole or something? Wouldn't have to dump it back in after a run. Couldn't plumb it in solid because you still need to vent excess pressure but it seems like there should be a way
Is it just me but when someone says don't try this at home it makes me want to do it even more.......or is it just me
What size sprocket did you use
Remember. They're professionals on a closed course. Not a public road
Love the new logo
you still haven't cut that annoying string off the steering wheel
Nice work! Ike did what you needed, after 60 aerodynamics actually mean something!
How underpowered these engines are ? A pavesi 125cc 2 stroke can go 180-200 km/h !
Pauls Duncans i think that engine also costs more than 10 times As much As these predators
Enduro Pitbiker probably
Pauls Duncans two strokes are totally different
dont compare a 2 stroke race engine with an industria/commercial 4 stroke
It has a transmission you fuckwit
Can't wait to see how fast the vintage racing kart Will do when your lying down and not being a human sail😉👍
i from hungary
Be Csede don't care
i am hungry
im a burger
I am also hungry
èrtem
cool video...but may i suggest some type of steering wheel mount for the phone??? wouldn't that be a little better that holding it in hand?? id hate to think if u hit a bump or something and the bad crash you all would have!!!!! keep the vids coming...fun watching you guys put stuff together
Amazing work gentlemen!If you rigged some fenders or a front scoop to cut down the drag, I'm thinking mid 80s. Drag Is tricky to calculate, but not impossible.
Great work guys! Maybe you could come up with a little apparatus for the phone to be mounted somewhere to the cart? That way you could use both hands on the wheel lol maybe you could modify a selfie stick somehow
I always come back in this video so often cause this was my favorite episode love the speed & also was good energy proud of you guys
Ike has big 'O brass balls!!!
72!!!! GREAT JOB GUYS
Holy crap this was incredible!! Well done guys, well deserved😁
what is the size of the sprocket on the rear axle? where would I be able to find clutch, sprockets, rear tires, exhaust pipe, and the air filter?
Hell Yeah guys congrats thats cool as hell to take 6.5 hp and do interstate speed with it thats just BAD ASS great video as always yalls video is the best thing about my Mondays and the one time a month when Finnigan garage puts out there video its feels like my birthday got Ike and John and then Mike. Great video please keep on being awesome guys!!!!
thanks. glad we are up there with roadkill
I love watching yall building them little engines, very interesting. Also love your collections of cars. I live in Martinsville VA. Would love to meet up one day and shoot the shit and talk about up coming projects. Love the show keep up the good work 👏.
Beautiful build. Love the channel
You guys should try the enduro kart that you picked up with the others. The driver would be more in a laid down position so that might mean less wind resistance.
hay guys,it took a pair of you know what, to go that speed and i loved it.thanks guys i love your show,keep it going.mike elcamino
