Go kart first drive

[Racerdude981]

did he use an impact gun to start it

[WeRcoolcats]

What hp is it?

[aussiekartman]

@WeRcoolcats 13hp industrial, a little under powered for the weight of the kart. Check my newer videos, I just rebuilt the suspension and fitted a 250cc dirt bike motor, it goes heaps harder now.

[bluenitro4]

Shit. Lucky you build em strong, hey? haha

[AbrahamCavesss1990]

HOW CAN I BUILD MY OWN CABRON

[mepwnyou012]

funny accident you have

[monboy10]

kind of funny how in the crash the kart goes right throught the wood/wire fence wich is soild in the ground but then a little gate stops it

[bromixPC]

wow, is a very strong go-kart!!

[IRONMAIDENFAN2006]

yea just seems like it needs more top end.. those lawnmower motors good for the kiddies but when an adult rides in one it seems to not have the response it should.. vf 400 huh yea that will help out :-) well your friend has a nice property.. i live in town where i cant do these things..

[aussiekartman]

@IRONMAIDENFAN2006 I finished the rebuild. Only ended up using a 250 dirt bike motor, but it goes pretty well.

[IRONMAIDENFAN2006]

so nice to have a large property like that.. i think you need more horse power though higher rpm.. btw you almost took your head off lol

[aussiekartman]

@IRONMAIDENFAN2006 You're right on a few points. This is at a friend's place, I wish I had this much room. More power, higher rpm? How about a VF400? Kart is currently getting upgraded with bigger wheels & suspension, and the VF motor.

[cjmotorsified]

Where did you get the torque converter clutch, the on i had sucked and didnt grab.

[aussiekartman]

@cjmotorsified Got the clutch off ebay locally. Came from a mower shop, they get fitted to chippers, mulchers etc.

[dragata1]

hey put a vtwin briggs and stratton on it and a touce belt converter and a lot of power will be going to the rear

[aussiekartman]

It's getting a 500cc+ bike motor and bigger wheels, after I sell my new black kart. That'll give it enough power to the rear!

[benpie12]

lol that idles fast at 0:12

[yocatmeow14]

Nice Crash

[tottos90]

yu need bigger tires an rims

[youjgh26]

LOL..well....it happens,btw nice go-kart.

[Fuhrer08]

rofl

nice job. and nice crash too. it's all in the fun

[crazyAlexander23]

lucky he din't hit the pole he just scratched it

[hanes0092]

you take it off any sweet jumps

lol

[crazyAlexander23]

this is a bugy not a gokart

[XxDarkEaglexX26]

apparently stronger than the fence!

[crazyAlexander23]

@XxDarkEaglexX26 not if he had hit the pole with is stuck in the ground

[XxDarkEaglexX26]

@crazyAlexander23

i wasnt talking about the pole smartass.

[crazyAlexander23]

@XxDarkEaglexX26 lol i know what ur talking about but this cude have been a wrek

[dragata1]

hey i have some old fat atv tires for sale there not dry roted but they sure are big

[andreccmaia]

Cool vid.. Buy a HANS.. or u you get hurt

[the4x4yamaha]

sweet cart, ever thought of motocycle motor to go with the shocks haha. and i read that you might re-do the susp. go for a long travel suspension so it can land good like real buggys

[aussiekartman]

Cheers. I'm currently saving some dollars for a donor bike. Spent $250 on rod ends, ball joints & steel for new front end recently. Got ATV wheels a while ago. You don't have a spare YZ490 or R6 lying around do you?

[the4x4yamaha]

haha nah i dont. or id have it in my dirtbike lol

[aussiekartman]

I just picked up a home made quad, fitted with a gsx400 motor. I'm gonna use the front suspension (didn't have to buy all that stuff after all), and obviously the engine. Should give my kart a whole new personality.

[the4x4yamaha]

so are you putting the motor in your gocart? that will be SWEET. you might want to make a long travel susp. just so it ride better and can jump

[BeeefyBeast]

Nice you saved it from rolling

[yamahonkawazuki]

@aussiekartman maybe a gs500 engine. inline 2cyl. 496?cc's would make a kick-arse kart. google gstwins for the site. more info there. was a guy that build a gs500 kart. from what ive read, it was plenty fast PLENTY

[aussiekartman]

A GS500 would be perfect. I'm looking for something that size. Even a 4-600cc single cylinder dirt bike motor would be suitable. I've got a GSX400 motor but it is incomplete. I will buy a bike that runs and strip it myself.

[MRLUDDIES]

@aussiekartman could you send me the plans for this kart? my email is matt_ludwig@comcast.net

[aussiekartman]

@yamahonkawazuki It's all happening. Started machining parts for front end, and picked up a VF400 recently. Complete running bike, so kart should be upgraded & drivable in about 6 months.

[Markv935]

hahaha dam gud crash on the fence haha :P!

[tratdall]

haha iwas thinkin wat if he went threw th fence then bout that time u went threw a fence lmao

[SWEDRFTGYNU]

Talk about swinging for the fences with the crash

[aidenrrr]

how did you start it

[aussiekartman]

When I bought the engine it's pull start was damaged. Started it with a power drill and 24mm socket welded into a bit of rod, run off the crankshaft. Had to go to a mates place with access to power. I fixed the pull start after this first day out.

[losplebes3231]

nice nice but get bigger wheels and tires???

[aussiekartman]

Blew the engine recently. Kart is gonna get bike engine and ATV wheels on wider suspension in a few months.

[offroadrc]

great, a offroad cart. the crash was nice to.

[ford1979truck]

FUCKING LOVE IT

nice crash lol nice save from flipping

[iihondaii]

what size of engine are u runing and how much horse power

[aussiekartman]

It's 390cc and rated at 13hp.

[dazc3282]

nice job on your conversion. looks like tons of fun.

[tomaattizz]

cool. are you still going to build billy kart?

[aussiekartman]

Yeah, soon I'll build a tarmac racer. Asphalt only.

[Care4AnotherSegment]

are you still going to make a street racer billy kart designed specially for the AIGRF? kart looks almost as good as those sideburns btw ;P

[aussiekartman]

I'll try to build a tarmac gravity kart at the same time I make a bigger, better buggy than this one. Gotta sell this one in a few months first.

[Quentonwall]

how much would you sell for

[aussiekartman]

Around $800.

[strapamotortoit]

great vid, you need a 300cc bike engine on it next, lol at the crash at the end, was it damaged much?

[aussiekartman]

Cheers. Only a crushed throttle cable outer.

And I agree, couple of months I'll sell this to buy a 300cc+ bike. Already got Edge products Sidewinder wheels axles and parts, seats etc.

[strapamotortoit]

i mean a 300c bike engine on it instead of the oe you have on now

[ertiikus]

i wish i can build one of those
