Ian....why didn't you move the motor to the other side behind the seat? Looks to be a great build! I look forward to seeing version 2.0 in the near future,
Sooo... Ummm... You know you could have just swapped the drive wheel & mounting plate to the other side, right? That's assuming, of course, that the seat wouldn't be in the way.
@@ianbuilder Still an option for the mark 2 version... When you decide to power it with nitro methane or put huge tires on it & pull stumps. I'll be surprised if this is the last appearance that contraption makes in one of your videos.
@@ianbuilder You can really go as large as you want. There's a guy who used a cheap 212cc (or so) engine on his antique tractor, with relatively decent results. External commutation of BLDC motors is possible, should you choose to go that route. Its not the easiest thing to figure out on induction motors, but it is pretty cost effective if you have some scrap motors laying around. Old drills are the easiest to use, since you can just put the timing gear in the chuck. It takes one motor to control one phase, so it takes 3 to control the typical BLDC motor. Its also possible to rewire most multi phase induction motors to single phase at a significant loss of torque. A 10Kw motor for that size of kart may be a candidate. EDIT: You could also use a controller meant for a much smaller motor to drive some field effect transistors, which would drive the larger motor directly.
Please tell me ur going to just make a u bracket and 4 screw holes and welding the muffler was either learning experience or joke... Liked the video tho
I love this channel because it has all the things I’ve ever wanted to make in real life
I love the absolute and wonderful bodge that is this entire channel :D

full car build when
Love the jankpunk theme. Fixing up an electric motor would have made a great addition to the previous solar panel theme.
wen im not broke
NightHawkInLight recommended checking out your channel. Impressive! Bang!! Subscribed! Your having too much fun there...Keep it up!
Omg!!! It even has Billet wheels! Would be cooler with zenoah goped engine but still really cool build. 😎
Yeah I just saw those billet wheels I want to save this quad so bad needs a few things from ddm and it's ready to rip
@@michaelchambers6273 yes. I love the xped wheels. 460 with pipe Would be cool!
Nice! I know this is mostly a "run till it dies" build but I would love to see this cart built up or a full build with the goped chassis.
i have an electric one 10 kw but the controllers fried so maybe if i can afford a new controller
sick build 49ccs are no joke
Lmao you are absolutely absurd. I love this channel
Why not move the chain to the other back wheel to get around extending the engine out?Cool video tho loved it
cause i am big dumb

@@kaisersose5549 i might just buy a larger frame anduse that i also have a 10 kw electric one of the same kart but the controller is dead
