Homemade Go Kart, dune buggy 2

[dougieisbamf]

Not trying to sound like an asshole, but your exhaust seems to be in a.... unsafe spot.

[DerekBarssProduction]

how did you attach your rear axle to the frame?

thanks

[TheFixedFiend]

gas break dip

[theAngelofhevn]

ANY VIDEOS OF IT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IT?

[ArmyGirl52]

that is pry one of the best home made go karts ive seen

[Daniel35100]

your welding sucks

[boredashellll]

PLZ HELP ME

i made a go kart with full suspention and am throwing a 200cc 4 stroke motor off a dirt bike on it but cant find a way to get the shifter to go through a flexible wire (so it can move with the suspention) plzzzz reply if u have any ideas or vidoes of a solution

[MarloLedrewio19]

would u be intrested in emailing me the chassis plans

[animefreak12bomb]

nice welds lol

[2419stewart]

when u r weldin either do little c's back and forth or go really slow and let it bubble up when it cools it will desend and be a really nice weld

[MonkeyWithAWrench]

@2419stewart never let it bubble up. if it does get bubbles, you have a weld with porosity. VERY weak. you can let it build up a little, but then you have a weld with too much crown if your not careful. its best just to give it some sort of weave pattern. all the welds i could see were too cold, too slow or both.

[jimerick1]

lol dont fear the reaper in the background :P

anyways nice buggy dude

[MrWii96]

nice :)

[fred2000789]

[tattooboy9999]

[MoBbrothers]

[kissa008]

gas,break.clutssssh

hahaha

[kadett1982]

de puta madre,pero te falta un diferencial,yo me estoy haciendo uno,a ver

[pdimig]

norther toals

[DocterrNick]

Where do you get the pedals?

[ranchero302me]

engine will need more air rough ride should of put some springs in the rear frame but remember home made nice job

[TankLuvsKim]

Hey man can i get the demensions and design plans for that thing? me n my dad were thinking of building one ourselves, if so msg back on here n u could send to my hotmail or somethin

[beccerbutt]

thats kilemonkys go kart

[Samqdf]

looks like a well designed buggy, do you think the engine would get enough airflow over it to keep cool enough sitting where it is?

[tipcup]

about ur welds haha uhm are u using mig tig or arc ? and what gauge metal did u use bc im thinking of using 14 gauge

1x1 1/2

[ARW123willie]

looks like a really rough ride with no back suspension

[jlee2121]

Ur welds blow

[fallsinseptember]

bout time someone says ssomething

[pyroman675]

@fallsinseptember meh, abit of grinding and im sure they would look fine. :)

[CCSinventions]

@fallsinseptember all that matters is if it sticks xD

[24preacherboy]

@jlee2121

And you would be an authority on blowing stuff.

These bends are fine. go back to blowing stuff.

[stoffmiester]

@jlee2121 your welds to pieces?

[Shadowpillar]

is that a yamaha engine?

[fallsinseptember]

negative, Honda 350x. Off a three wheeler

[dodgekickzass]

lol blue oyster cult is playing in the background

[Topgun5959]

you need to weld some metal plates underneath to protect the engine and you from debris

[ahhomgnoob12]

and your legs from falling under, that would be baaaad

[dustinwaller87]

hey does that thing go around corners ok.. because i know that when ur going around a corner on tire iz suppsoe to spin faster than the other.. and with a live axle it wont do that....plz help me.. im building one and idk what to use for the rear axle

[snaredrumking313]

use a 7 speed peerless transaxle out of a riding mower. thats what i am using on mine

[Brutalnemisis]

just use a big enuph motor you can break the back tires loose lol. Actually Having a solid rear end shouldnt really affect the stearing to much, it may a lil but not as bad as you think. Now if it was 4wd and you are talking about hte front thats another issue.

[peow130]

on sand he won't be able to turn, and turning on the street hes going to either A: Break the axle or B: Break the rims. or C: Pop the tire seals and the tires will spin.

he should go get a lawnmower differential and use that lol

[nhssdf4]

OR...... one tire will loe traction and turn faster than the other and everything will be fine.

[fallsinseptember]

which is exactly what happened, great insight nhssdf4. The kart is torn apart now and frame scrapped. Im planning on making a way better design this summer

[peow130]

puts quite a bit of stress on an axle when you do that. It's the reason Spool-Differential axles aren't street legal.

They're also not street legal because you can't turn worth shit at high speed. Great offroad, terrid onroad.

I would rather use a differential the first time then have a snapped axle and have to take it apart.

[rcboy100]

who cares about turning at a high speed put it up against the wall and peel off da tires

[themaker084]

NO you are wrong about A.B.and C it is an trike back end that is how they are made to work i have a Honda ATC200e

[peow130]

You fuckin retarded? You're not suppsed to ride a threewheeler on the street. Ever wonder why they banned them? They roll.

[themaker084]

i don't fucking ride it on the road you fucking dumb loser fuck face cunt

[peow130]

"loser fuck face cunt"

good one, you backwoods moron.

[rcboy100]

simply dont tip then smart ass probley doesnt even know wat a piston is

[peow130]

Go ride a threewheeler, and try to turn. You stupid shit.

[rcboy100]

no way soil id axles r 4 men nice 4 mud boggin can pull a nice donut

[coolboyewell]

nice cute dog

[roybains]

Is everything made by you? What materials did you use to make the frame? Did you buy any parts for the frame or you made it from scratch ?

[fallsinseptember]

yea, frames made from old fire sprinkler pipe, everything is pretty much made fromm scrtatch minus the engine and petals and stuff

[dyllanchristian137]

can u make a video showing if u use a lawn mwer engine how you would tip the moter on the side and atke off the feul tank and oil tank so i could gat a little more info on how to thanks

[2gbc]

you cant use an engine like that to build a go kart. the oil needs to sit it the bottom ull blow it up running it on its side

[Himom2032]

Uhh... He means with it NOT running.

[Bikemaniac19]

to use a lawn mower motor you need a snow blower gearbox or a lawn mower weel drive gear box

[wenzelkid1094]

wher did you get the frame from and how do you attach the axles

[Phil38654]

easiest way to attach an axle is to use pillow blocks, look them up on a go kart site. and i think he welded his frame

[CowboyPenner]

Can you give me any details as to the type and dimensions of the pipe you're using and any other details ie. suspension components.

[blazerblast]

need to but a large honda goldwing 1100 on that sucka

[Lukemtbmad]

HI Could u please tell me what kind of wheels and rums u r using on this kart!

thanks

[scrajet]

work on your welding

[vettermachine]

nice!! its awesome, and i like the music in the backround (dont fear the reaper)

[chadeyboy]

hey how did you rig up the axel on that?

[speeddudes]

drive it

[MAZDAMAN666]

I had A 350x 3-wheel

[spacecadet505]

[PattersonFan]
