    I totally enjoyed your video. I just got done with my grandsons go cart. I put a larger engine in it, replaced two wheels and painted it with a bumble bee paint scheme and installed some seat belts and a roll cage. He is 7, been driving one since he was 3 and he is totally crazy with the thing. He should ride safer now anyways...I am a grandmother pimpin' the boys ride. ha ha

    I've only just recently stumbled on your channel as a recommended video but immediately got the feeling you're the type of laid-back guys that it'd be fun to just sit in lawn chairs with some cold beers and shoot the shit for an afternoon.
    The lawn chairs would probably be attached to a kart, of course.

    Which is faster? A one wheel drive or live axel (2 wheel drive)

    • @Crazy_chieftain
      @Crazy_chieftain 8 років тому

      Live axel

    • @tractorguysgarage7057
      @tractorguysgarage7057 8 років тому +1

      The live axel can deliver more power to the ground.

    • @5353iceman
      @5353iceman 8 років тому +6

      One wheel drive wastes energy and eats your tire up.

    • @nathanantilla5713
      @nathanantilla5713 8 років тому +5

      They both have the same top speed, but the live axle can get up to that speed quicker because it has twice as many wheels being driven, giving it twice as much traction, allowing it to pull twice as hard before it starts spinning tires.

    I think it sound stupid but is it possible to build a go kart without experience with engines?
    It is my dream to build one myself,when I was 6 years old I went everyday to a go kart racing track.
    Now I'm 15 and don't want to dream about it anymore...I'll build my own one.

    Alright, that does it. I have got to get my old go kart out of storage. Been sitting on a shelf in the shed at my parents house since the 90's. Mine is a two seater with a live axle and a 5hp B&S. The engine and driver are both on the left so it turns left great but flips easy on hard right turns.

    Also when ordering your straight axle kit make sure you get a proper length on your axle shaft so it's not too long or short

    Ike’s hair is cracking me up. And John’s so young. These old vids are funny. I’m still trying to figure out what a 41 chain is. LOL 😆 And wore it out too.

    I've heard the phrase "It'll be fine" so many times in the space of a half hour. The words have lost all meaning. I love this channel!

    Thank-you for this video! It is something I have always dreamed of doing, but have never done. I am curious: Would it have been possible to center the engine in the middle, for better side-to-side weight distribution? I would really love to see this done using a dirt bike engine. For me, the most interesting part of that would be seeing how you would engineer the the gear shift linkage for the manual transmission.

      Yes, you can put the engine in the center, you'll just center up the sprocket along the axle.

    I realize it is a small cart, but a couple of gussets on the axle mount plates would have been nice to see.
