You have to understand thar everyone dosen't have golf course as thier backyard
Well if you live in the U.S. you do
bruh you can buy a bare 1-acre lot 20 miles from Los Angelos for 15k
@kolby4078 I get the point you're making, but if you can buy an acre of land, solely for this purpose, I don't think you'd be buying a cheap, old go kart...
Graham Williams or get one acre here for $1000
MotorBros I have an acre back garden
Yeah go kart race with your friends is fun until one of them fires a red shell at you :P
You never played Super Mario Kart before have you Hyena?
MrNotorius5500 That is a real go-kart, Mario doesn't have to do anything with this. Obsessed kid.
Omg Grandpa don't you know a joke when you see one? Get off your high horse!
Actually, Mario really doesn't have to do anything with this. Even a joke will get in topic,so you can shut that hole.
Just shutup you senile old moron.
Don’t forget to buy the million dollar home to go with. Fun vid.
Good one
Seriously this property is definitely in the sticks FAR from a centralized metropolitan location WHERE real estate is CHEAP AF. Anyone can buy themselves a McMansion with 10 acres for under 300k. Wtf are you taking about million dollar home 🤦♂️
Effin A. Cotton
Cool
@@hforero79 It's in a subdivision on the edge of a town of 10,000 people, and it's estimated at around $700,000. Not what I'd call cheap and not what I'd call "in the sticks", even if it's not exactly a megacity.
PKMartin looks like a lovely home. However in your own words you admit the location is definitely rural (in the sticks). Population of 10k is a small town.
#1 reason to buy an old go kart? To piss off the neighbors of course.
Already did that
👹
Lol
Very good reason
What happens if you live in an apartment?
All my friends just got a PS4, i think im getting a GoKart instead...
Do it, you will waste so much time on video games and when you're older you're going to look back and regret it.
well, I don't reagret it. Made much more freinds then with a useless kart
ProphecyTV
Online friend=/=not really a friend
ProphecyTV useless? Nah, more like fun! You guys are lucky you don't live in a city's historical centre. I just have a racing sim...
Karts are a major blast. Its real. 👍👍
Video games are fake as the day is long.
Most american thing ever.. Go-kart doughnuts while waving a flag.. yep.. :D
+QuantumMecha lol best reply evr
'Murcia! FUCK YEAH!
Could have been more American if he had a bald eagle on his shoulder
i wish i lived in america were you can actuly drive your own go kart in your own backyard
barkman birk you can in the uk it's your property.
Yeah, but the uk is mostly very cramped for space apart from the countryside which isn't great for go karting.
ikr
Here in Narway you can get license plates and drive on the road
You can get plates in the UK to drive on road aswell.
I've never been into go karts, but now I kind of want one.
Build Threads have you got one now?
It’s scary
Same here
I NEED one now!!!
I used to race them about 20 years ago and have always missed them, so I went out and got one the other day. It's just for fun now and boy are they fun!
It's weird seeing green grass....
( I live in Australia )
Same here bud
Yep. Love it. My dad got me one of them when I was 10. In less month later, did drift full speed and crash into curb and totaled it. Best memories I ever had but not for my dad 😂
$350 for a race kart? You must have gotten lucky. I'm in Ohio and I'm about to buy a nice rolling frame for 400...
Connor Waits You take what you can get I guess! $400 for a nice rolling frame is still a decent deal... Mine was a total piece when I bought it.
Just picked it up yesterday and it's pretty nice. Just can't decide what engine I want. I've been debating a predator but also wanting a beefier 10 ish hp briggs or something. I feel like I'd have problems mounting a big heavy engine like that versus the predator. Much to ponder lol
Connor Waits I hear ya... Predator 212s can make more than 20hp with enough mods. Just throwing that out there.
And with a Predator, you won't have mounting issues, and it'll be lighter than the larger engines.
I know but I feel like that just beats the crap out of everything in your engine... I'll probably take that route since they're so affordable.
+Connor Waits i found one here in Sweden for $300 :D works perfect to
Are there any like key things I have to search if I want to buy one, or do I just search Old go kart?
Idk I want to know the same thing
a live axle would be nice with some brakes installed.
Zapam wamba h
search "shifter kart"
Weight reduction: Free, just lay off the junk food! BRILLIANT BRO! xD
You obviously own or live in a large house with a huge backyard that you don't seem to mind ravaging. There are little to no places that would allow you to take an old cart like that on it and just tear shit up. Make another video on why most people can't own one and never will.
Son if you have balls, you can tear up city streets!
Bernhard Renner and get your cart confiscated, and fined for taking an unlicensed vehicle on public access. Since you seem to be an expert on testicularology why don't you go tear shit up
Laughing Man
Just joking man , but yeah I live in South Africa and the police here are useless! If you have a cart that can do more than 150 kph they cant touch you.
Bernhard Renner lol even slower, these shits will just look at you in disbelief
Bernhard Renner my friend gasses on the cops in his go cart 6.5hp I live in Los Angeles lol it's not all about speed
0:02
This is enough for me, I will buy one
Same
I race go karts and I can tell you know....you make it sound cheap but it's not ...at all.stuff adds up real fast
Florida Vape You're right- it does add up quickly, but with the bare bones components it can be done for less than $400. Of course it won't be "race ready" for most karting classes, but it will be good enough to run in your yard.
Yea defiantly it's a fun hobby tho I love it
funny thing, my friend is into drifting and he told me how he used to burn through much more cash racing go karts than drifting.
Lol
nvc vc I agree that racing go karts is expensive, but it is pretty cheap for just running around a parking lot or yard.
I swear that's faster than 50 miles per hour
omar pinckney It sure feels like it.
omar pinckney set speed to x2 and go to 1:50
***** yes hahahaha
@@LukeSevenski or 2x speed at 1:17
I cant find ANY gokart frames like this in my area, ive looked on craigslist, in newspapers, there's no gokart shops around me idk where to get one, the only gokarts i have found are clunky and mostely for offroading but I would like a racing one like this. I have seen similar chassis to the one you have online but i would have to spent $600+ for it, can someone please help me :(
where do you live?
GoofyDaGoofGoofTV Melbourne Florida, USA
i live in georgia right on the line of florida, and there are racing go karts everywhere on craigslist
Type in "Race Kart" that will help and span out dont just look in your general area look into areas at least 2 hours from you. Mine took a good month of searching i payed $750 & i had to travel 5 1/2 hours round trip to pick it up
aka_thor yah but if you have the money you can get one shipped to you by gokartsusa.com its like 1900 for the shipping and the kart
The downside is that a dude named ゆちりち might be holding red shell
Schumacher parents owned a gocart track.
Anthony Butera No way!!! So cool...
Treva Inzerillo
its for real. the schumie boys grew up on a gocart track.
Treva Inzerillo
Start the kids as young as possible. Jeff Gordon, Schumacher boys, hell, all of them started at 5 or less, most on gocarts.
your cart looks badass!! makes me want to get one but i don't have an overlysized house or backyard >_
All I got is the haybusa engine on my custom cart. Cost 700 for everything and it goes faster than 160 mph (fastest I've gone). My point is carts are the best toys for car freaks
jesse sanders minus the 100 and I would have believed him
Who this
***** not with those tyres....also are sure you are not getting confused with Kilometers
***** You are smoking fucking crack if you think you're getting anywhere near 200mph
***** 200mph is Bull Shit... the Bugatti Veyron runs 250mph max...
Lol I love the part "Johnney are you ok?"
Actually M. Schumacher drove Go Kart "in his backyard", his father owned a GoKartRaceTrack, still does..
perfect video for showing my dad. He thought the kart we saw on ebay was a load of crap and it would be shockingly bad bad. However, after showing this video, he was amazed aha... Ours is also slightly more powerful (15hp) so he new it would be even faster. Thanks guys!
I went roadkill style and bout a go kart off Craigslist and put a cf 250 engine in it
wow you found that thing for $300 i cant find one for less than $700 T-T
Brb, gonna go buy one.
1:25 you mean “hard small slick tires +grass is massive drifts”.
I'm starting to give up.
I've been looking 3X a day, every day within about 300mi of me and can't find a good deal :(
Edit: and I'm in San Diego for crying out loud
montgomery mchargue Make sure all your filters on Craigslist (or whatever site your using) are correct.
0:26 2. They're Fun (John) "What doesn't look fun about this" crash in background (wife) "John are you OK?"
PRICELESS........
I heard this was your fist CarsandCameras video. I think it's fantastic. You did a great job, made it ridiculously fun and in just over two minutes or so you made me want to buy one. Love the channel and all the old and new vids. Thanks to both of you.
do yall have a billet rod in your engine?
+Harold Kefauver jr Nope. I would if I were you.
+CarsandCameras ok
+CarsandCameras ws
a
Is that a certain type of Go kart? The ones I find look like a golf cart with a roll cage, but I like the sleek and simple design of the one in the video.
That's it .... I'm selling my car .... I'm getting one of these go carts and lm putting in my corvette z 1 engine in it... 2oo mph stock... woooooo hooooooo wanna race.......
after being inspired by this video im extremely proud to say after 4 long months, i bought a kart.
Living in the UK, all prices times five.
very well made.... makes me wanna grab one and experience Karting
Omar Ignacio I'm getting a cart soon and boy-oh-boy.... The anticipation couldn't be any higher!
I'm putting a 500hp turbo I think I might die
+Ace Gambit lmao
That's nutting I gots me a 600 SS HP that I playz bumper cars with! :)
500 hp? There's no way it would fit on the cart
you could get 200-300hp easily enough with a worked bike engine that will fit in a kart though, and it will seem like 500hp lol
He didn't reply coz... Well, he's already dead...
I cant find a cheap kart like yours. There expensive.
Wow i bet your Neighborhood loves you.
1:18 when you see a candy bar
1:50
When it’s actually white chocolate
Iff i could LIFE in a house like u i would buy a pro go kart.. lel
Do laps around your mansion, we all have one.
Here in 2024 these prices are like another planet. A dang Whooper is over $10,.. not the meal, just the burger!
How can i bay that??
Michael Schumacher was a cart driver and champion before his professional career.
Pretty sure all F1 drivers are. Formula cars are just big GoKarts after all
@@Excludos yeah almost all current drivers have done competitve karting
@@AbhimanyuSingh-xs2lh I'm not sure it's even just "almost". I think it's every single one of them
What site does hé say at 0:15
Craigslist
🤣
This is the video that introduced me into karting. 4 months after first seeing this video and here I am with a Manco Dingo that I'm working on. Keep it up guys!
Shark Bait 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
watched this originally 4 years ago....Here I am with a free racing go kart from the 90s and a 50 mph predator..........
Best quote yet “I doubt micheal shoomocker rode go karts in his back yard, but I bet Ricky Bobby did”- CarsAndAndCameras
can't find a frame anywhere
Ikr
You should try Texas craigslist lol, have alot of them here.
south carolina you guys
Number 10: if you are suicidal and want to be killed in a crash, this is both fun and effective!
I want that too don't know if available in India .
and for some real "Old" fun, pick up a vintage dual and go racing, or crap your pants for fun ...
ua-cam.com/video/macY5n_R3gE/v-deo.html
dudes.. just bought a text book kart... looking forward to more stuff from you ! inspire!!!
Old things are always the most fun to drive
You also much more aware of you feet! Bumpers the delusional of safety!!
Where did you say was a great place to get used go karts ?
+John Howell Craigslist.
+CarsandCameras Thank you very much
+John Howell I was wondering the same thing
Comet kart sales
+Tonykart18 thank u very much
were do i get the moter
z williams, motor is the correct spelling of the word and I think you mean engine
harbor freight
+z williams harbor freight has them for like $150
ok thanks
z williams not even, with coupon they are 100$
What was the place he recommended? It's hard to understand what he said it...
Does anybody know where to source a frame like this? I check my area all the time and people want like $500 for a bare rusted out frame
Im a kid in the middle of a city in Greece.bruh i want a cart but where will i drive it?
Who’s here after hearing that Michael Schumacher passed away?
Good video now I really want to buy an older one but I would like the bars on its but then again u did say they r easy to modify
I want a go kart so bad but in my country the speed bumps are higher than mountains and pot holes are deeper than seas
Thats Amazing - Looking into building one. where should I start?
this vid helped out on knowing what to buy since I already have a go kart. got it for a hundred, then my dad said he had a friend who would fix it for another hundred, we paid him, basically stealing, he didn't fix it, so now WE have to buy a new clutch since it burns up too quickly
I believe schumacher had his own kart track with his brother as a kid/teenager. I am not 100% sure
LOVE IT
Only problems with these old karts is that the engines are shit. That's why parts are so cheap.
Supposed to get 2 tonight gonna get the kids into racing
michael schuhmacher was big into karting in his youth
I race dirt flat karts exactly like that one. Another thing is the prices of the parts are waay off
At first I thought this was a super cool video and then I watched your other videos and THIS BELIVE ME NOTHING COMPARED TO 88 mph on a Hunk of metal 1 inch off the ground
Alex Did you see Isaac go 102 at the drag strip???!
Man I remember the first time I saw this video I hopped on criagslist and got my first go kart. Just got another one now. GOKARTs ARE FUN!!!
yolo vang awesomeness!!!!
WOW Hahaha 3.1 million views. John who knew you'd get THAT many views in 4 years....it is well done and shows true C&C DNA as compared to the new episodes....Ike's in it ....you have classy music ....cool shots. All the makings for a good current episode of Cars and Cameras. I think we watch this because we all feel like we relate to either you or Ike or know someone like you guys that we used to tool around on these sorts of rides....or messing with our cars when we got older... Im happy for you. You invented a TV show about go karts when there wasn't one and now its a very popular hit!!! You made it to Cable in 5 years!!!! well done sir. You did your homework every day as a kid you never give up! you are the successful type John! I look up to You!
Halliday7895 Wow...A NICE person on UA-cam!! 💯👍
does anyone know where to buy a fast go kart for cheap:)
Thanks
This is where the go kart saga began and it will go down as history!!
This clip reminds me of Top Gear Mexico. 🤠🇲🇽
Ey jo wtf what is the name of that website cray flows?????
Hey Guy 👋
Thank you for talking like a regular person. Not like you are so jacked up on monster energy drinks that if you could put a chain saw blade on your jaw,
you could cut down an oak tree in 25 seconds flat 😜 #NoMotorMouth
You use common sense and don't pretend to know everything about everything.
So I hit like and subscribe on the first video. Ok go entertain me! Haha just kidding. We enjoyed your video about how fun and inexpensive carts can be. Looking forward to watching more.
Later✌️
Where can i find one? for cheap and modify it myself
just think of the weight loss! --one Arm or a Leg!
More mini bike videos‼️‼️‼️
You said to comment for more.........I commented
looks awsome
Would it be good to drive in an abandoned golf course
can craigslist deliver across the world
Not gonna lie i be riding in the grass like that on my harley
Looks like an old Phantom Banshee chassis. That was a good one. Phantom is still around today, making off-set oval chassis for karting. That's what I'm on!
if i had a few acres id be outside all day tearin it boy woooooo
It's an old go kart, what other reasons does one need?
Hey I just picked up a old 6.5 Baja go cart from the flea market for 200 bucks. Got it home did a little work to it and took it for a test drive. I must say it brought back the good ol day. But I did roll it on the street. Yes it's on go cart fails my daughter put it on UA-cam. was wondering about any opinions on what to do with the style of the frame. It's a dune 6.5 Baja motorsports go cart.
where can i get one like this??? in canada?
Isaac can make anything fast its crazy
alot of fun
I love the body, did you build it, or buy it, and if it wasnt custom do you know where I can find one?
The frame parts on his kart look like that because theyre supposed to be behind the bumpers for supports. The one I own has a sort of grill like this. You unbolt it from the bottom and it open like a mouth. The center pipes go through the bumper, then you bring it down and bolt it all together again.
i live in netherland and i want a go kart
I have loved karts all my life. But never rich enough to afford one...
Use OfferUp I got mine for 300
My gokart + grass = trenches
