    I'm building a kart, soon grandma will finish the project, I learned by watching your videos, thanks brother.🤙

    Nice job on the transmission and lathe. I am encouraged to see a younger person doing something besides staring at a phone. Makes me think I may find someone to take over my shop when I am gone.

    Dude,I really like the simplicity of design you have on this cart. No frills just straight forward simplicity. Got my wheels spinning on a buils vewry similar. Thanks for sharing. Great work!

    Congratulations on getting Go Power Sports as a sponsor and a one shade darker blue than your air cleaner would look great. Keep up the great work.

    My friend- this is the most entertaining set of videos I have seen on youtube. Thank you for uploading - by the way if you tried driving this on UK roads they would lock you up and throw away the key!!!!!!!

  • @baldbutton1983
    @baldbutton1983 6 років тому +1

    Dude you are the man at building things! I gotta say it’s pretty cool that you built your own gear system on your go kart. I really wanted gears on mine but Have no clue how to do something like that

  • @HTHCLLC
    @HTHCLLC 6 років тому +1

    Get a "Go Power Sports" sock for your air filter. The amount of "small particulates" it catches is amazing. And your filter lasts longer.

  • @mapleacrefarm
    @mapleacrefarm 6 років тому +1

    I've loved watching this design evolve as you went along. Good job! BTW, you didn't need to raise the engine. The torque convertor mount has different holes in it so you can rotate it to a different position.

  • @sykwookiee
    @sykwookiee 7 років тому +1

    Congratulations on your sponsorship...been watching you build cool shit out of junk for a couple of years now...gotta say you're definitely sick...I like it! Paint it metallic black with contrasting stripes...copper or bronze wheels...glad Greg (Redbeard) helped you out...I feel that anybody who can build a transmission deserves some recognition...keep on keepin on brother...da wookiee...

  • @robertordewald8678
    @robertordewald8678 6 років тому +1

    A neutral detent with a lockout, park, would help, a reverse gear could be added to your trans as well!

  • @Hoggdoc1946
    @Hoggdoc1946 6 років тому +1

    Very good results. Can you do be a big one and cut the front axle bolts down, Please....... BTW brand and type of welder are you using?

  • @marioordonez2865
    @marioordonez2865 6 років тому +1

    I am impressed, you have made a very functional transmission. I hope to see more go-kart creations.

  • @adithmart
    @adithmart 7 років тому +1

    OK, use the spring to keep the shifter in a place that you want. As you might have thought about, machine some type of snake that a rod will need to go over but then latch into.

  • @garymucher9590
    @garymucher9590 6 років тому +1

    Interesting concept on the two speed transmission. Looks familiar to the usual setup on outboard engines and the foot section to work in forward and reverse using a clutch dog. Nice.

    I agree on blue myself. Next u need either build a shelf or find a way to hang the blue kart above the green one in ur shop shed.

    cool project, the kart looks like a blast and I like the locking shift mechanism =)

  • @patriot1303
    @patriot1303 6 років тому +1

    Love that you built it first with more common parts and then show how to upgrade it later with the performance parts - the lathe is awesome how did you build it

  • @stanleydenning
    @stanleydenning 6 років тому +1

    You are doing a super cool job on that. I just hope you trim off the extra long bolts and paint it.

  • @gabrielharris1845
    @gabrielharris1845 5 років тому +1

    Nice upgrade. I'm planning the frame for a go kart. I can't wait to weld it up with my everlast welder so that I can get to the powerplant.

  • @jiimmyboy63
    @jiimmyboy63 7 років тому +2

    Way to go man. Glad to hear you're sponsored. You deserve it. Can't wait to see what you can do with their help. You should get together with Redbeard and Cars and Cameras for a build off or something.

  • @rayondinanath4536
    @rayondinanath4536 6 років тому +1

    Sweet build!... I suggest moving the air filter though tire might kick up some stuff on it.

  • @Rebar77_real
    @Rebar77_real 6 років тому +1

    4:11 Did we just witness a Welding Gods blessing? :P Grats on the sponsor!
    For locking it in gear, how about a center-console auto tranny lever? Maybe just the stick with button. Or the whole unit, but it'd have to lock in gear and you wouldn't need the whole throw so just the stick w/button might be better. You could rig it up no problem. Have a local wrecking yard?

    @Stonet420 6 років тому +2

    Those 2 stickers added 5HP each, that's how you got to 50mph.
    XD, nice kart man, wish i had a lathe to cut down metal, that transmission is pretty smart

  • @adithmart
    @adithmart 7 років тому +4

    Your shifter...use a strong spring directly under the center of travel and the spring will hold the position of the shifter in high and low. As long as the shifter travels in an arc, this will work.

    • @chuckels431
      @chuckels431 6 років тому

      ShadowTech why does it need neutral? The torque converter has neutral when it idles.

  • @Ziggy75gg
    @Ziggy75gg 6 років тому +1

    From the “engine running while going backward” clips it seems the the the new torque converter may be helping with the shifting. Is this true or is high speed shifting still a problem?

  • @robert5
    @robert5 6 років тому +1

    Always wanted to build a go cart like this but with 2 snowmobile tracks on back and more HP. Snowmobiles are a pain, ever get one in soft snow and get it stuck good? Talk about back breaking BS to dig out holy crap. "Snow buggy" sounds better to me. More stable and less likely to bog down in deep snow due to more track surface area to float over the snow better.

  • @Bigdaddy-Donkyking
    @Bigdaddy-Donkyking 7 років тому +1

    Blue is good that hammered paint finish would look especially good maybe on the floor pan as well when you put one in so a stick don't come through it and kill you

    Maybe you can use bicycle braking pads instead of metal pins to engage the gears. Nice work.

    Carbide is awesome and all, but they usually require a ton of speed to perform at their best. Ever tried using HSS instead?

  • @raymondborkowski4290

    If you put a grease pencil line on the exhaust tube heat it up while the engine is running where it stops melting cut it off and you will tune the exhaust.

    RedBeard had used a racing clutch, talk to them it may be something of interest to aid in shifting your cart.

    @jpwipeout99 7 років тому +2

    @KristofferEk 6 років тому

    might wana get a proper box cuter or a knife for the next pakage the hacksaw looket like it was a little precarius to open with. and would it not have been easier to just put the tourq converter at a highter angel? not to mention safer? I thought that was what all the extra mounting holes was for on it.

  • @lulink99
    @lulink99 7 років тому +1

    use a spring lock on your shifter. you squeeze it with your hand when you shift and it pulls a pin out of a hole then a spring pushes the pin back in the second hole when you let go. get it?
