how do u mount your wheels

[prasertporfuck]

Where you buy about Go Kart.

[cocotower]

Dude, you played around with the sprocket for like 2 minutes straight and just totally killed my patience! Just hook the damn thing up already! :)

[roflthatwasfunny]

u say aluminum weird

[brendonv101]

@roflthatwasfunny No, you say it weird. The rest of the world say alu-min-yum not a-luu-mi-num. :)

[gutteer]

@brendonv101 and how would you know that? do you travel maybe you do say it weird we say it the way its spelled

[jellyfishcomputers]

@brendonv101 true I like australia or how ever you spell it nice work. how many cc is you engine

[gbamast3r]

YOU MAKE A KEYWAY ON A MILLING MACHINE AND I GOT 10 FEET OR 3 METERS FOR 10 DOLLARS

[elobiretv]

your over exagerating the financial crisis, its not like everything in america has rose in price by much.

[airsoftguy85rocks]

for your welding, is it better to use TIG, MIG or some other type of welding because I am going to buy a welding machine and on average a TIG welder is cheaper so please tell me which one is better :D

[brendonv101]

@airsoftguy85rocks MIG is the easiest and pretty strong. TIG is way to hard and takes a long time to get right. ARC is good but isnt good for thin walled metal. Anything below about 1mm will burn through.

[theAngelofhevn]

@airsoftguy85rocks buy MIG much easyer for beginners and it holds

[gonitronow]

your ratio doesn't change with gear size compared to clutch size. it is a ratio between the drive gear and tire. if you change you clutch size it will affect the torque but otherwise its between the tire and drive gear

[brendonv101]

@gonitronow The GEAR ratio is the ratio between the gears which in this case are the two sprockets. Changing tire size doesnt change the gear ratio it changes the final drive ratio. ex. Say we have a ratio of 5:1 (60t on engine, 12t on wheel) and a 10" wheel, every time the engine turns 5 times it turns the wheel once. If we change the wheel to a 15", every time the engine turns 5 times it still turns the tire once but it puts more strain on the engine diminishing its acceleration.

Thanks Mate

Hi Brendon

Can you please let me know where i can buy the type of hub you are showing as I am currently building an electric go kart and i am finding it difficult to find a front hub and sprocket.

Thanks In advance

Richard

[brendonv101]

@EVCoolCapri Any go kart shop will sell hubs. If u cant get to a go kart shop then bmi karts or mfg supply (google them) will have lots of them you can buy. I bought mine from kart mart in perth. Btw, watched a few of ur videos. Very nice.

[southparkadiction]

elmenuim LOOLOLOLOLL ahahahahahahhahah!

[denzil172]

hi man where did you buy the sprocket and the other stuff

[freekaleek876]

by the way its called tig welding

[Mattybiker123]

Were did you get this stuff from ??

[JDUNIT038011]

dude ur spending alot of money on something that only goes wat 35k's seriously ur wasteing time nd effort

[davi200]

I don't think you are going to be able to weld the sprocket holder to the axle shaft because the axle is going to be steel and the sprocket holder is aluminum. You can't weld those two together. Good Luck. Check out my go kart project @ user davi200

[karrar55]

dude use a smaller sprocket, its makes the kart faster

[brendonv101]

Dude! It burns the clutch and steals acceleration tremendously so no, i will not use a smaller sprocket but thanks for the advice.

[karrar55]

never thought of it like that but whatever!! i was planning on building my own go kart(which is way cooler than buying one) but money is low so i will probably buy one

[Deancasser]

hey wat part of aussie r u , im NSW and im 13, can't find a f**king hardware store(other than bunnings) that will sell stuff to me

[datokid]

just make a key way with a grinder its not that hard if you use a drop saw

[nutsonrc]

it cost me 70 dollars nz to get shaft made and sprocket key way cut in so it should not coast you much , you said you would go faster than me , well i not think so by what you just said ,,, do you still need the sprockets
