    The song used at 3:57 is so fresh and funky, and with the chord progression at 4:26 being oh so juicy, I had to look up who made it... Anyone that's curious, it's "Distance" by Daniel Brown. Massive respect for using music from smaller artists... But GHPC, please credit the music you use in the description. I shouldn't have to Shazam a YT video to find who made the song.

    Word of warning guys , if it’s a hollow back axle it WILL snap near the rear wheel bearing! Had this happen to us on several occasions while racin 2 strokes with some quite ‘ close shave’ near misses . If it breaks on the chain side it can potentially flick round with the chain taking your elbow with it !!!!!
    If the breaks go a bit numb ( always do ) theirs a special break bleeding reservoir that eradicate trapped air .

    Ethan as usual being the only one that knew how dangerous that was. A pond on a warm day is no problem. A frozen pond at 20 degrees is an entirely different animal. When your whole body hits that water, you tense up, panic, etc. Easy to drown without having experienced and trained what to do in that situation. Hopefully the pond wasn't too deep to pose an actual threat.

      ​@@svenngunnarrustgard1228 That won't happen. Water is actually a lousy conductor. The dangers of electricity in a standard house outlet for example, is not independently just the voltage, it is current that gets you. The battery won't harm you in any way with regards to getting electrocuted as it doesn't have the current capabilities to do so, let alone in such a big pond. In fact, the acid poses more a threat to you.

    I completely agree with Ethan, that fugly wing had to go to the scape yard. I have to ask Edwin and Will, you guys do know that water is an electrical conductor? you guys lucked out that it didn't short out all the electrical circuits and the battery. on the go kart when it sunk in the water. that kart looks like a blast to drive for sure. however I agree with Edwin and Will that it needs taller tires. and a skid plate that curves upward in the front. so it will keep the go kart chassis on top of the snow instead of plunging into the snow. I have to stay I really like this electric go kart it really goes like stink. however possibly a little larger battery for more range would be nice.

I had great doctors and followed the after op procedure of 2 different types of medicated drops 4 times a day for 2 weeks. And if healed perfectly. Day of the operation and the day after eyes were super scratchy and light was a bit sensitive but within the 3rd day I was doing good and great vision, not perfect but good and then within a week it was perfect better than 20/20 and within 2 weeks the flaps had healed down fully and no more need for drops.
