I bought a vintage Go Kart that I'm redoing. When my buddy and I picked it up we saw a dolly sitting there and both of us looked at each other and said "that's a Go Kart frame!" Glad you made it happen.
Moving dolly make good starters for vintage karts .. that's what I use for holding two batteries and two starter motors for my dual engine vintage karts.
As far as the lengthening the chassis, was thinking you could have possibly added/welded some tubing to lengthen the frame in which you would have to have cut the frame pretty much in half to add. Great Build👍
MAD skills!!! As a kid of the 70's without endless money to just buy everything we wanted, we learned to hack/chop/glue/weld/bend stuff together for my buds and me to have fun. I applaud your efforts and engineering talents. This was no small task. THIS is what every kid (or adult) today should endeavor to do....to innovate, adapt, problem-solve and LEARN new skills. Totally enjoyed the video!
Hi, im 13, turning 14 soon, and I have paid for a cheap mig welder, and I want to make homemade planes and make dirt bikes. I love the idea of making and innovating, but i can't until I'm 14 and I get a job but I've always wanted to make things.
@@Guncrafterandlockpicker You GO, little man! There are NO limits. The wrenching and tinkering skills I learned early on have benefitted my life in ways I cannot properly explain. I pay NOBODY to fix anything I own. I've saved thousands over my lifetime. You can do ANYTHING. Go for it.
@@briand4000 Thank you i would never let a mechanic fix my stuff because i would get experience and if anything happens I will be able to fix my car on my own, change my oil and so on and so forth when I'm older I want to try to do stuff like this my shop teacher has Taught me everything I know about wood working and welding.
@@GardeningwithDave I know you already know this but don't forget a helmet. Good luck and have fun. If you get something cool built don't be afraid to post it on youtube.
A DIY tutorial for a dolly go kart would be great! I always thought that a dolly could make a good frame and you demonstrated that perfectly here. This would be a great project to mess around with on a low budget!
I guess a lot of us thought about this when we were young, it does have a basic go kart shape. It was fun to see you make it a reality and repurposing an engine from a clapped out pressure washer made it even better.
No matter how old you are how many kids you got how much money you got or what religion you claim when a man builds a go kart and it goes as planned you will see pure excitement always love it!!! Salute 🫡
You don’t have to cut it up at all. I did this like 2 years ago, never finished but got close. Just lay it down long ways replace the axle with a drive axle and then use the handle as a pivot point for the front steering. Then add your seat and engine either up against or bend the carrier plate down. After that juts test it out and fix any sketchiness
But I'm glad you commented anyways because anytime I'm excited about a project I see, I want to brainstorm ideas of either more complicated or more simpler ways of doing whatever is going on in people's videos. It's fun to see everyone's involvement... 🤭😏😎✌️

Would be awesome to see another one of these builds, but more DIY for someone like me that wants to build a go kart but i don’t have any complicated tools such as a welder. Awesome vid!
Growing up in a lower-middle class neighborhood in Queens, New York, our go kart was basically me in a shopping cart and a friend pushing me and we would take turns.
I love that this was almost a combo video. Salvaging the pressure washers and their teardown/touchups was a pleasure to watch forgot i was watching a gokart video!
super high production value! cant believe u only have 1k subs. Keep making content like this and u will blow up, the algorithm definitely picked this video up, so clearly you're doing something right. Best of luck going forward!
When I was a child I remember I had the idea to do that but my father said you couldn't and wouldn't work. Seeing this brightens up my day seeing it was possible.
The handtruck on the way home: oh boy i hope i get to lift lots of heavy things! 10 minutes later: OHHH MY GO- NOT MY HANDLE NOOOOOO AAAGGGHHHMYYYWHEEEEELSSS
When I was a kid, we had 2 of those but they had 2 handles, one was thinner than the other so they just locked onto each other and I ended up with 4 wheels so I sat on em and went downhill, for my whole life I has been seeing those hand trucks as just half a go-kart I love this video
I think learning anything mechanical or technical is very useful. Makes you a better problem solver and could be useful in everday situations such as cars breaking down or being stranded.
In the office of a start-up I was in, we had those 250?watt little Razor scooters. We also had a moving dolly.... we quickly realized that just putting the handle down on the traction padding was enough if you sat on the dolly to "secure it" and make a pivot point, the scooters have collapsable handles so ... down they go and ... off to the races we went... literally...haha
Would love to see a video of that. Sounds way easier and cheaper than all the cutting and welding. Some of us have the skills but of course not the equipment.
You have my sub kind sir. Finally someone making things that are relatable, instead of pouring 20k$ into a "mini" whatever build thats a piece of junk anyways.
you can adjust the position of the axel spreoket by loosening the grub screw then u can slide the sproket side to side to find a better position for it
It's amazing how one person sees one thing, and some one else sees something completely different!! You saw a go cart from a hand cart, I also saw a wheel barrel without the handles and brackets and the wheels. Turn the wheel barrel basin upside down, and you have a roof for your go cart!! Just thinking!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Awesome content Love all the hard work My 2 cents The dolly has harden steel thicker gauge The racer in me . . . Get a shopping cart more thinner tube Lighter is faster We are all ready at neck braking speeds no pads or helmet. Who cares our wives don’t
Just stumbled on this video and subbed about halfway through. I like your explanations along the way. I'm also glad to see there's a backlog of videos for me to watch tomorrow.
Lmfao I just clicked to watch this video because your thumbnail spoke to me 🤣 I showed the thumbnail to my wife and said "see I'm not weird" and she shook her head smilling. I recently turned basically the same handtruck into an electric go cart.
This video was amazing and very joyfull to watch, you're very skilled dawg to make something like that from lil to nothing. loved the editing very great production for a 2.5k channel
First off 3 motors for $50. Bucks is a steal i have a Subaru Robin 6. Hp on one of my minibikes it is awesome. That hand truck frame is a awesome idea for finish a minibike frame im working on. Nice build on the go cart.
Great Video! I really want to build one with the kids, will be happy to see a motor tutorial (how it is built and troubleshooting) because that's my weak spot
I built something similar many years ago out of scrap stuff in my shop, everything worked good at first but I guess I’m too heavy and burned the clutch up pretty quick, I bought another clutch and it lasted about the same amount of time, this was about 20 years ago, clutches are probably a bit better now than they used to be.
I've been thinking real hard about picking up a cheap welder from Amazon and just giving it a shot. This video has me REALLY wanting to just do it. I figure one dolly is good, 2 MUST be better! Adult sized. Lengthen the wheel base with independent front suspension and a rear hinge suspension? I would set the front end up just like an RC truck with a shock tower. Not sure how to do the rear.
Beware of those Honda GC engines, my buddy put one on his mini bike (db30) and it was in fairly new condition he only had it on his mini bike for a week and a half, we went for a trail ride and when we did a lil race the belt inside broke and let one of the valves drop down to far and when the piston came back up it pushed the valve crooked and up into the head really bad and it trashed that whole engine just because the timing belt inside broke and we had to take his chain off and tow him back slowly
Give a man a welder, grinder and an imagination and he can make anything.

That's funny. I thought the same thing when I saw one at harbor freight today
What was your total cost without the motor

Did you weld without proper equipment cause I’m tryna learn but I have no equipment

I was laying down in bed the other night thinking about building a go kart for my son. Is the universe speaking to me? Great tutorial and epic edits.
Build it! You will always have those memories.

Thinking about and doing are 2 complete different things lol
I used 2 to make one as a kid
When you were emptying the gas tank it reminded me a lot like getting a guitar pick that has been dropped into an acoustic guitar. 😂😂
I was so mad saying “swirl it dont shake it ughhhhh”
I know the pain lol
I find this relatable😂
Nooooo I haven’t had this happen to me in months please don’t jinx it😭😭😭
That’s a damn struggle lmao
I had this idea as a kid, glad to see it come to life. ❤
That is awesome

How are you telling him how he should work on his own cart when you didn’t finish yours 😂

I simply love this build , it's the sheer frugality and repurposed dolly that gets me going . You have lit a fire under my proverbial (blank).
Ass.
You're welcome.
I love how he shows the process thoroughly and cleanly and shows all the raw footage and materials needed love from philippines❤
I love this kind of engineering. "Here's a thing. That looks like it would be good to be this other thing" Then makes it into the other thing. Love it
It's my favorite
great video. very impressed with getting them engines to all work again and solving the design issues. look forward to more
I always liked the old style go-carts from the 60's like this. You really nailed the spirit of 'em with this build. Love the video!!
My mate and I have been talking about doing this for the last 5 years, it's brilliant to see someone finally do it
Would be awesome to see another one of these builds, but more DIY for someone like me that wants to build a go kart but i don’t have any complicated tools such as a welder. Awesome vid!

What we all wanted to do as kids
I’m actually getting a go kart next month it’s gonna be sick
This is something I’ve thought about multiple times, so glad to see it done!
bro your joy as your drivig your creation is wholesome

sick video man
i clicked on this in a split second, i always thought how almost perfect a dolly is to use as a gokart frame, kudos man.
Camera point of view looks like your going warp speed! Love it
When I was a child I remember I had the idea to do that but my father said you couldn't and wouldn't work. Seeing this brightens up my day seeing it was possible.
Cool project. I think if you initially bought two you would have enough material for a full cart.
I didn’t expect this much from a dolly go kart build!😃😃👍

10 minutes later: OHHH MY GO- NOT MY HANDLE NOOOOOO AAAGGGHHHMYYYWHEEEEELSSS

Childhood dream come true lol, nice work on this crazy go kart
This was fun to watch!
Going with drifting is a good call because the mini-turbo stat is arguably the most important thing in Mario Kart
That Honda GX390 is the best, they have so many aftermarket support. I am currently building one for a gocart.
Awesome! I am fitting it to my next project, coming soon
You should use the Ackermann steering formula
I think learning anything mechanical or technical is very useful. Makes you a better problem solver and could be useful in everday situations such as cars breaking down or being stranded.
This is fantastic project, you got a steal when you took a chance on those pressure washers. Fair play man watched the whole thing
Look at you having fun man, what a way to enjoy the project
Wow! Great job! I think I am going to do this with my 12 yo grandson.
did it go well?
I've thought about this for a long time! This is so cool man!

I’ve had this idea for a long time I think it would be such easy frame glad to see someone else did it too
From "boys and their toys" to "men and their machines", simply incredible drifting go-cart out of a dolly and walmart goods...
Awesome build bro, really enjoyed watching this project from start to finish. You got a subscriber here.
Awesome Li'l Red Drift Kart 👌... looks like a lot of fun 😀 👍
This is such nice clean work. Good job bro.

My 2 cents The dolly has harden steel thicker gauge
The racer in me . . .
Get a shopping cart more thinner tube Lighter is faster
We are all ready at neck braking speeds no pads or helmet. Who cares our wives don’t

THIS IS THE BEST THING EYE EVER SAW
Even comes with a set of wheels lol. Great build great video
so smart dude. great job. definitely want to try this someday. frames are so esspensive.
Love the work you put into these videos man! A true inspiration
I always wanted to build one that looked like a tee bucket from an old wheel barrow. Awesome build👍
I love those too
Next build?
@@henrytaylor3049 I've already got 3 builds lined up, but maybe later this year
I subscribed, we'll see.😍
@@henrytaylor3049 I appreciate it!
Awesome project. Thank you for sharing. Looks like much of the dolly isn't used other than the main frame.

This is pretty cool. I would love to build something like this with my nephew.
I cant believe i never thought of this! Awesome
love it bro! you should do more video like that
I am working on ideas right now...
Thats the greatest thing ive ever seen in my life.
My kinda people right here. Ill subscribe for more of this type of cool stuff
Bravo.....hats off ......now a mini bike......or drift trick .....cheers
Excellent man you've helped me out with how to make a chassis. now i need to get parts 😵
Wow!! That is talent and sick. Hella job 🔥
I have been thinking of a build just like this for years im glad someone finally did it🎉
Dude this thing is sick love the idea cool!
Great video love the resourcefulness with the cart. Try to remember a helmet.
Cool project. I think 2 dollys would provide a lot more material to not have to scrimp on the frame. I'm going to use one for a trike frame.
ide out a smaller axel sproket on it will make it a little quicker but you should also be able to mount the motor on the plate
Excellent work!!!
have the same idea back then, what I don't have is the courage to make one hahahaha. that's awesome man

I wouldnt run those without the door open in the garage. Loved the video stay safe
Didnt notice you opened it later lmao
Love the go cart and new sub btw 😊
My kids and I loved watching this. A price breakdown would have been cool
I'm working on a diy video now with more breakdowns and instructions

Oof, that would suck
