I owned one for about 3-4 years. Bought it for my kids, we drove the crap out of the thing and I never had an issue. The bottom end ended up needing to get rebuilt after 3.5 years. But that probably could have been avoided if I’d changed the filter type. The one that came with it was terrible. We really enjoyed it and am thinking about buying another one. I sold it because I didn’t want to deal with repairing it as i felt we got our money’s worth. Ive regretted selling it honestly should have just fixed it.
i have the massimo branded version, been beating the hell out of it for months now. Still really enjoy it, the arizona dust is horrible for it. Filter changes are a must.
@@nathanmunoz6232 I believe there are subtle differences on how the accessories are played out but it's almost exactly the same frame and honda gy6 (or clone) engine. The differences are between who brands it for accessories.
i would like to think so, its cheap with not alot of power and some cheap hardware. but ive been slamming it around the desert near my house for the last year and the thing is still kicking.
We purchased same item broke on first use. Blew up motor and leaked all oil out. We also had a hammerhead which was doing same stunts and that thing never gave up. For a few hundred bucks more I'd rather go with hammerhead
Tractor Supply in my area has one of these with Massimo branding as is for $2,500. They say the normal price is $5,000. I'm glad I found this video, I almost bought it.
We actually just bought a similar model obviously it’s a 2021 . The welds are not a issue so far the cart seems of very good quality and reliable. The brakes did need some work when we first got the cart but it simply needed the brake lines bleed now they work perfect! For the price you can’t bit it
It can be modified for sure... Change it with a diesel engine, change the brakes with bigger tyres and a new auto transmission... it will be a great go cart ✅
to be sure everyone understand here. This cart is cheap. its in no way meant for hard use maybe light riding around the yard. the motor seems solid but the rest is definitely cheep including the breaks!!
We have an older 150cc version, bought used for under $1k. Upgraded it to 170cc big bore from Rolling Wrench after the piston burned out (my fault). It's a little beast on the trails of our 47 acres. So I sort of disagree with your "light riding around the yard" statement. It is loads of fun, and handles hard trail riding just fine.
From everything I’ve heard it immediately needs a new air filter. That and the welds aren’t great. For about $200 you can buy a predator motor that you might be able to swap out! When it’s built in the US it’s quality is a bit better (mine will come from a company in Texas) but honestly….it’s a cheap ass Chinese gokart.
Hey thanks and great information. Looking to get an older kart to restore. Do you have any recommendations on brand that I may find easier to find parts for, This will be for myself an adult 180 lbs and my grandson. I don't mind getting just the frame and building a predator motor, I am having the hardest time on FB, craigslist in finding a kart for the backyard everything these days is catered towards the racing sport. I am looking for a 80's and up LOL. Any recommendations or maybe other brands that maybe build better? Thanks great video.
every state is different up north in michigan you could drive it on the road at 16. but i wouldn't recommend it. these are not made for constant speeds.
He said 50-55mph on the road, but that seems quite high to me. No idea what method was used to measure this. They seem pretty slow at take off (CVT transmission), eventually I can see it reaching maybe 40mph, but do not have any personal experience nor much research at all, to be honest. But considering the $2,500 price, I imagine it meets expectations (kinda slow, not too great/comfortable, especially off-road. The reviewer mentions he can hear the kart frame creaking and feeling not comfortable, even on what seemed to be relatively smooth grass.. again for $2,500, seems like a relatively decent value. But a used model “brand name” kart with possibly a larger engine/more robust components, I expect would be a very worthwhile comparison if you’re in the market. Biggest issue I’ve heard about these Chinese/knock-off/obscure brand karts, is that (inevitably) *something* *will* absolutely break/fail, or need replacing, and parts (I’ve heard) are difficult to find, take forever for shipping, and god forbid you have engine problems, having to tear that thing down in any capacity I imagine would be a relatively unpleasant experience with little to no support available, again vs the larger/name brand karts.

Is it the same car?

Yeah don't!!
I'm new to go karts ..but the shifter possibly just needs adjustment.
Just the video I was looking for. Very helpful.
Glad I could help :)

You can't complain for the price and they are a blast.

"Auto transmission "? Are they not all automatic?
I would definitely buy one, if I had the time to ride it.
I have a 150cc Coleman go kart that goes 55km an hour this looks the exact the same

Brakes...

Wonder if my 750cc motorcycle engine would fit in this lol
After one year, the engine smokes and the center splines on the rear wheels are worn due to poor quality.
This is so helpful
i am looking to buy one of these from someone in FW IN for my husband and i to drive our kids around in till they are older. would you recommend?

Any recommendations on the best one to get for my boys
Definitely doesn't do 50-55 mph
Great video
What's the Range?
How many miles can it travel on a full tank?
I assume you can strap a few fuel cans onto it to really stretch the range
Step cans it’s not super good on gas. But about half a moped mpg if that makes sense
I have the BOR motorsports version. Is that a Chinese brand?
I can only find these cheap Chinese ones is there any on brand dune buggy / go carts. Or just side by sides?

@Brian Miller look me up on Facebook shoot me a message
How do you buy parts for it?
How does this compare to a tao baja 200? Are there any other similiar karts of higher quality? Thanks
this car continues to run but it is definitely not strong if that makes sense
Its 3000 now
Not worth it at that price.
I have the go kart m dad just says don’t drive fast but the brakes are terrible
✌️
mine won’t start
Where can I order one?
What is your opinion of the company you bought it from?
Short and could be more personable but they got it to me in the time needed so I say 4/5 :)
Hey brother what's the price of this kart and from where u hv buyed
$2200 usd
Where did you buy it from?
You need readjust everything
How old do i need to be to drive this and is it sidewalk legal?
every state is different up north in michigan you could drive it on the road at 16. but i wouldn't recommend it. these are not made for constant speeds.
Hard to work on motor ?
Not at all its basically a Honda clone motor.
Dumb question, but do these come with titles?
They have a almost bill of sale type deal.
Is it reliable?
No, it want 55 maybe 40
That thing will not go 55. They are geared to top out at 35 on flat ground.
Same thing I thought
How much did you pay? What model is it?
Joe and Duke $2500 and they are all the “same” outside headlights and carburetor adjustments.
@@PowderCoatingGroup How well does it do up steep hills?
But is it street legal in California?
Softazap Gamer it’s not. If u do get one make sure u lock tight all the Fastener’s
@@PowderCoatingGroup ight, yeah that's on for sure but just driving from place to place time to time
If you are bored with it I have a 2006 roketa with a Honda F4I motor in it shoot me a message
Wait how fast did it go?

It does not go 55mph, I can tell you that...
China welds are always like that.they think the bigger the gob the better the job😆😆
😂😂
Could someone around 6'1" fit in this thing comfortably?
Yes definitely
Mantap bang..🙏👍😁😊
this thing is trash but i love it
50mph? My boys have the same kart there’s only goes 32mph
J Morales that doesn’t sound good. What carb do you have?
The Random Review the factory Chinese carb I’ve put 12g sliders and uni intake and filter
@@PowderCoatingGroup what carburetor do you have?
@@wetnewts8164 Honda. This unit is gone though
How big are you?
5’ 7”
That reverse issue is just an adjustment
Sounds like owner assembly problems. There are adjustments for the shifter.
