I'm half way considering a pretty unique build of my own. This was super fun to watch. Also, how far can you get with the regen breaking? I'm curious if I can get away with smaller breaks relying mostly on regen.
Range would be an interesting test, no idea. I can say however it’s about 45 minutes of hard driving. I actually have no physical brakes on this build; they’re there but the bleed screw is stuck so they have no pressure. The regen is so powerful that it will lock the wheels entirely while going full speed.
@@AllThingsElectric_ amazing to hear regen is that good. I think I can tune it in software too for a bit of further reverse force on the front too if I had 4wd 4 motor. Super intrigued
Awesome build! Id love to build one. What size spocket are u running on the motor and the rear axle? And where did u order the motor and contoller? Was it a kit all together?
Well I can't say much.......when I was 12 I was riding a twin McCulloch 101AA Dart Kart thru residential neighborhoods at highspeeds. Nothing outrageous.....perhaps 80mph in a 20mph. Only about 1000x louder than this kart lol. I have to admit, at almost 60 i'm a bit stuck in the past but I decided to expand my horizons and subscribe to this channel. Just be careful.......dogs etc can really create a bad day. The electric stuff does have appeal. Gas motors can be a pain. And the McCullochs required a masters in mechanical just to get started it seemed.
You're going to want to put that blue reflector back. They mark underwater pipes and Fire departments use them to locate fire hydrants in an emergency. Don't be a contributing reason why your neighbors dies in a housefire. You have the data on this video to know where to put it. You can probably use JB weld and there will be an imprint on the road where they originally epoxied the reflector.
Hi, I am planning on building a similar thing aswell and saw that you had some good times with those metzev batterys…the store hasnt launched though? how did you get them
These karts have been engineered this way for decades. It is what pro racers use to practice because the physics scale up. One with suspension would def be a cool project though!
Awesome build! What size spocket are u running on the motor and the rear axle? And where did u order the motor and contoller? Was it a kit all together?
I just looked through your site and I have a project you may be interested in. Basically just take a flight controller and reconfigure the software to operate a vehicle. Use one motor per wheel and you can go nuts programming all sorts of drive systems. I personally cannot modify that code but the guys from Emuflight believe it wouldn't be very difficult. My thought was to build a 4wd kart with one motor per wheel much like how formula SAE karts are built and then sort out dynamic stability and even drift angle control in software if I was to ever get to that level. Would love to chat some time if you're around. I guess respond to this message if you'd like to...
This would be killer man! Been wanting to do something along these lines for a while. Our SAE team at Ga Tech is pretty wild, we could definitely get something in the works. Let’s talk ab it! Message me on Instagram! P. S. I’m a huge Kabab fan
That motor is 50hp and the one in my rc truck is 25hp they say.... it's a castle creations xlxl2 esc with the 2028 1100kv motor. They say on 8s it's 25 hp. People say that's way way under rated that it's more like 30hp. There is a guy than made a go kart with a castle xlx2 and a 2028 800kv motor on 12s and it did like 50 plus mph and even did a dual motor one as well! But I'd rather have one the way you built it more tourqe I feel like
@@AllThingsElectric_ that awesome! glad they were helpful. Ive really been wanting to build a cross cart but want to start with one of these go-kart which look super fun! I was debating whether to build the frame from scratch or pick one up
Seeing your videos, you could definitely build one from scratch, but I would recommend picking up a rolling frame. It will just save you a lot of time... and math.
Awesome build! Id love to build one. What size spocket are u running on the motor and the rear axle? And where did u order the motor and contoller? Was it a kit all together?
Did you mention in the video what the #teeth on the rear sprocket was? Where did you buy the motor from? I have been looking for these QS motors but they are hard for me to find
Im wondering how you managed to install a reverse switch I tried reversing the polarity and it didn’t work I have no idea how you managed to do it with a switch.
damn this is sick. it’s crazy how popular qs motor became. when i built my kart there was very little brushless motor options which is why i went with and old dc motor
Thanks! I believe they've been around for a while but yes, the popularity is what made the noticeable. Just absolute beasts of motors, rated 4kW but can push over 30? Insane
@@AllThingsElectric_ true. motors basically can push out as move power as you put in given that they didn’t melt. my motor is rated for 1.5 kw or something like that
Hey bro do you reackon you could do a build cost video and tutorial on all the wiring and tuning of the electrical components as I’m making one of these as well Cheers
Absolutely sick! Now this for an electric vehicle makes sense. Awesome! This is the future of karting. Just bring a couple hot swappable batteries to the track.
Lol. I played soccer w/ a few EE Ga. Tech students. You remind me of how funny they were. Thanks for the video. Fun and your humor is next level. CAD…. 😂
Being a go Kart. Did you play with the rear wheel spacing to give you more control? Standard chassis tuning. Wider loses grip but keeps the kart flatter, narrower gives more grip however it will be trickier to control and be smooth with it. Like the way you edited the production, well done.
So where is the best place to order this motor? It sounds expensive but as an old go fast with gas guy.......getting a ICE powered kart to go this fast wouldn't be unheard of to have around a 2k engine if not way , way more. So similar I would say. The acceleration seems wicked but a 70mph top end isn't super fast. I guess if you had twin motors you could have smaller sprockets and probably go over 100mph easily with still the insane acceleration. Overall I like it.
Great video! I am guessing you have never had a speed controller let the magic smoke out, because you would not be doing all that testing on a cluttered bench like that. If that popped, you would have lost your house. There would have been no way to stop the fire from spreading. Be careful man, we want to see more videos!
I know it seems I am building semi-haphazardly, but believe me, I am taking extreme caution and paying very close attention to what I am doing. I appreciate your engagement! Cheers :)
I admire you man. This is the kind of thing that I can only dream of. I’m too busy trying to make a living but have been contemplating on making ever since. Good job young man
Amazing build!!! I wanna build one so bad for my son and I but not an electrical engineer unfortunately. Do you have a build sheet or step by step posted anywhere? TIA
Amazing application of our batteries!
Went to your site, how can I order a battery?
almost a year out, whats up with the website?
@@akeeleferris The website is now live!
@@ecksean We finally launched the website! Thanks for sticking with us.
Best build electric gokart by far
First time welding?! That's definitely serviceable. Doesn't look pretty by any means but looks like it'll hold.
I am thinking he may have had some practice. Lol That looked soooo much better then my first time! LMAO!!
Looks like gasless too. Usually looks like bird poop for most people first time, me included 😂
You can't hear huh ?
That Kart was so awesomely fast and powerful, Job well done buddy
youtube has to stop recomending me these or im making my own
Prove it
You only have 1 life so make one while you can
“Lucky for me, Harbor Freight exists.” I think all us DIY guys have said that at least once. 🤣

Insane build man! Cant wait to see future projects with these batteries. Its going to be Crazy!
Good job man. I’m a GT grad and also converted a race kart to EV.
Awesome man! I’d love to see it and talk ab it! Message me on Instagram, link on channel banner
Correct attitude to welding my friend.
UP THE SPROCKET UNTIL IT BLOWS THE FUSE!!!! THEN GO SIZE DOWN. You can also change the throttle curve for smoother accelleration.
Bro is the Boss
That looks epic, nice work mate.
quality is so good underated
This is sick!
Where's the 70mph run??
Where did you get your motor and controller and battery?
????
Naaa its not terrifying ....Its tyre frying...
Awsom project and build dude..
Subbed.
so crazy fast
Bro that is sick I need one
An off road go kart with that same reduction motor would be wild.
Gear it low for rough terrain.

Can yo do a course or video on all the things you need to build an electric go kart? For beginners . Please
all that fab work you did will get you a job just about anywhere, you might need some welding classes first :)
Take it to the track and have drivers try it!
Keep an eye out for a future video!
Bro this insane! Nice 👍🏽 job
awesome - subbed!
i just build a 20kw EPPG to fly. i love electric stuff!
Where did you buy the motor
Why not use dualtron 3 motors hub motors, four of them so technically it would be an all-wheel drive cart
Great video dude!
Great build brother 👌🏽🔥🔥
Been looking for a good motor setup for my project scooter!
Awesome build, can I ask, where did you order the motor from?
So sick!!!!

Yo could u please do a tuturiol i would love ittt❤❤❤
Eletric karts are cool but i still prefer the gas ones cuz i fan do esso Es maintence

Click bait!smh
The Kelly controller is not very well suited for QS engines, it is better to use a Votol controller, it will be much more efficient.
