lol.. this is a skinny mans game right here.. poor guys never had a chance. Although 2nd was way closer than I thought it would be. I have to make one of these.. I have 3 rear gokart axles and some cogs and parts but no spindles. I'm certain I could fabricate something up on the lathe though. I'm going to post up a craigslist wanted ad for cheap old gokarts and parts. You can always find better deals when you get people to search for you, rather than searching through posts of people asking top dollar for their junk. Someone always knows someone with a junkpile with what you're looking for.
Hi Guys, Can you fit a jack Shaft to this kart with a final ratio of around 12:1 to see if we can use these little engines and see how much more take off it will have they are light and cheap thanks Brett
The only issue with that tiny engine is getting it off of the clutch. Once the centrifugal clutch is fully engaged, it rips up to speed, but there is not enough torque being transferred through it when it is slipping. Maybe you should look into a smaller drive sprocket to put on the clutch... Or maybe a better clutch.
Can you please do a video on your 9.5 hp predator go Karts and show us how you moded it please. I just got my predator motor and I want to make it go a Lil faster
Hi guys! I am Fernando and regards from Brazil! Big fan of you! I have some doubts and I hope you could help me... I am in a personal project to build a stand up scooter (the one like a kick scooter, no sit), and I am planing to use a 2.5hp engine (~100cc, 3.5nm@3600rpm) 4 stroke. Actually everything can change according to your answer as I will start this project from scratch =) but the idea is to have everything compact as possible (scooter's length ~115 centimetres) . I am aiming to reach ~25km/h (not too fast, the main idea is to keep this speed in ~25 degrees hills as well), the wheels with 8 inches (40cm external diameter), structure ~30kg (all include, engine and structure itself), and 100kg of man body. So, main doubts are: 1) Is it possible to use only a centrifugal clutch directly to the wheel (11 to 44 tooth) or do I have to make some transmission between to get more torque? 2) How to know about it, calculate? 3) Recommended iron thickness (cylindrical or squared as well)? 4) Belt or iron chain? Sorry for my those dumb questions if so... I know nothing about it... I really appreciate your help and let me know if you need any other detail. Thank you in advance! Cheers!
What app do you guys use to determine top speed? I Want to see how fast my manco 400 yard cart is love the videos Ike won the build off fare an squre sorry John
If you look at any of our race karts, you'll see that the design is completely different. Race karts are very, very low to the ground and often have the engine next to the driver. You're much better off just buying a race kart.
CarsandCameras Well I have checked Craigslist and a bunch of other websites and used parts stores, and there's nothing in my area that is low priced enough. The only new karts I can find are ones with racing decals that look like Nascars. I just want a rugged old one like yours. Thanks for replying!
Jason Creeper oh hello there you got these same engine don't you I am getting one tomorroe for 25 dollars new just needs a carb which I have for my mini bike
President Carter 58 dollars total. we were lucky on the motor. a 120 budget total well probably get some tires too. 120 budget after buying the cart predator 212 !
Sandiso Mahlangu well it was the obvious choice. he did what my mum would call "have a boys look" instead of looking properly. my mum would say that when everyone else would ask her where everything is. she would get soo pissed off lol. but seriously a dirtbike engine is powerfull, compact and has a gearbox. he didnt do his homework
its not fair to nature to rip on grasses roots im not one of those tree people but im 100% sure that plants are alive as well yall need a dirt track or racing street track grass really inst the best idea anyway considering all those roots that fly up and could get caught on something important
impossible cars have more hook ups plus its to much waight it would make where ever the engine is mounted to low and heavy it would scrape and.it would go to fast for some go kart bodys to handle it would fall apart
once it starts rolling its pretty fast
ITS TIME FOR THE PREDATOR TO COMPENSATE FOR THE 100 POUND DIFFERENCE YOU TWO GOT ON ME
You need to be in videos with them more often.
Wish my yard had a track like that :) good stuff!
BROKE RICHGUY you aren't the only one
Im loving this new side of the channel!
Wow you garden/yard is massive I love in the uk I’ve got about 100x smaller 😂
Weigh each driver and add weights to the kart accounting for balance accordingly and then you'll see who the better driver really is.
***** Not a bad idea... Don't be surprised if we do this in a future video. Thanks for the suggestion!

Where did u get your mini bike?
Looks like it's going pretty fast.
My go kart is a little bigger than that one do you think that a predictor 420 could fit on it?
Can you please do a video on your 9.5 hp predator go Karts and show us how you moded it please. I just got my predator motor and I want to make it go a Lil faster
So for my 17th birthday my father just got me a go kart with a predator 212 cc and it goes 37 mph and its just too much fun man

1000th like, 5 years later
I think you should out racing tires like you have on the racing go kart its super cool
Build a go cart that is manual with a stick shifter 4 speed or 5 speed never seen it thought it would be a cool build
Man I used to ride a motovox mini bike that had that exact same engine on it but it never seemed that slow
Hey do you know anywhere where I can get a 4 stroke 6.5hp 200cc Honda engine with the gokart
I have never had any of these but wouldnt the go kart have more power with an old 50 cc 2 stroke scooers engine?
No
I really wanna see the rat road wagon lol
Do you know of any sites in Canada for a Go kart that is good for around $500. Everything on Kijiji and Craig's list is bad. Thanks!
What app do you guys use to determine top speed? I Want to see how fast my manco 400 yard cart is love the videos Ike won the build off fare an squre sorry John
Hey I was wondering if you could make a go kart with a weedeater engine because I would like to build one but I don't know how
right on !! lol
What would it take to turn this from a regular kart to a racing -ish kart?

I really like the music you guys used can you tell me what it's called
Jason Creeper oh hello there you got these same engine don't you I am getting one tomorroe for 25 dollars new just needs a carb which I have for my mini bike
takes a while to get it rolling but i reallly flys at top end
What manufacturer made that 80 cc engine?
Toby TV lifan
Looks like the one off the monster Moto mini bike
not bad for 80 cc
Cool
How much did the kart cost in total and also what would you do if you had a 120$ budget to make a kart.
i cant dude
President Carter 58 dollars total. we were lucky on the motor. a 120 budget total well probably get some tires too. 120 budget after buying the cart predator 212 !
Isaac Jennette Thank dude im doing a cheap build for my little bro
Do you know of somewhere I can buy a frame there's none on Craigslist ?
Most frames are hidden away in garages and barns and shit. Nobody really sees the value in them so they just get left to rot.
Taylor AKA American Stig
how much horsepower have it ?
go kart builder 2.5 hp
nice grass mines all ripped out
why the hell dont you just grab an old two stroke dirtbike motor? shit tons more power, a sequential gear box for some, and they sound mad
Tevita Phillips Because I don't know of any for sale!
CarsandCameras nah nah nah that's not an excuse. there are millions of old dirt bikes for sale. remember, your only cheating yourself. ;)
+Tevita Phillips you kinda sound like my mom when I didn't do homework 😂😂
Sandiso Mahlangu well it was the obvious choice. he did what my mum would call "have a boys look" instead of looking properly. my mum would say that when everyone else would ask her where everything is. she would get soo pissed off lol. but seriously a dirtbike engine is powerfull, compact and has a gearbox. he didnt do his homework
+Sandiso Mahlangu I'm the same but with my cloths she will say " pick up your cloths" .
Where can I buy a predator engine?
Jacob Lingner we get ours at harbor freight
do you want that 80cc moter
He reminds me of mike from friends

Anybody know the top speed ?
slimeball about 32 -35 mph

its not fair to nature to rip on grasses roots im not one of those tree people but im 100% sure that plants are alive as well yall need a dirt track or racing street track grass really inst the best idea anyway considering all those roots that fly up and could get caught on something important
Yall lookin for a kart i got one for sale.you pay shipping...
I am interested if it's a racing kart
Just got rid of it was not a racing cart but should of been. 6.5hp 195cc. ..
has anybody made a go kart with a car engine?
impossible cars have more hook ups plus its to much waight it would make where ever the engine is mounted to low and heavy it would scrape and.it would go to fast for some go kart bodys to handle it would fall apart
Well people have made 200hp go karts with a motorcycle engine
+dayway05 ive seen go carts made out of cars, where they would just chop the hell out of the body and add a tube frame
ive seen v8 gm engines in a go kart and some v6s
Sell me that go cart or plz tell me where u got it
SOCCER TUTORIALS Watch the "$50 go kart build"

Joshua Honeycutt Sure!

Joshua Honeycutt Ah nice. Are those two seaters?

Would you sell me a racing go kart for t$350?
First
Holy fuck how big is your garden

+McMuffinFluffin freedom
