250cc Go Kart

[gvandenb]

@bigmonkeyman44 I have since retired the 250cc karts ( they just take up space in my garage )... I now have two Honda Pilots which are a whole lot more fun. Check out the video watch?v=F3s_TtPcQyk

[byrnesy919]

Hi there which would be better, the hammer head 250 or these I'm interested in them both but which would be better performance and speed wise? Thanks please reply!

[xXSOKkenrusXx]

why do things like this have to have such small engines like 250cc, why dont the put REAL engines in there like a 16hp briggs or honda or a 22hp vtwin, or at least a 300cc plus engine, i just dont get it

[Zachbray95]

Bad ass

[chasemanreilley]

wtf drive it in the flippin show

[DjSplashx]

2 words... BAD ASS

[redneckcountryboy16]

why does it have one fender?

[caprisunmaker1]

that thing is a fuckin tank

[tarko468]

Where buy ?

[panterask8r14]

I had a 2 seater, man these things were funn as hell. :/ Sadly we had to sell it

[gvandenb]

@ddawg20613 The way they are currently setup they go about 40 - 45 mph.  You could change the sprockets (among other things) and get more speed.

[bigmonkeyman44]

@gvandenb i can go 40-50 mph easy if i disable my rev limiter on my sabuaru 6.0 hp

[bigmonkeyman44]

@gvandenb if you notice in my video my frames cracked lol because i have jumped higher shit without shocks lmao

[bigmonkeyman44]

[adrianreefer]

[burgboi95]

is this the same go kart shown in this video? Roketa GK-44 250cc

[gvandenb]

@burgboi95 I believe so... I just recently saw the Roketa GK-44 at gokartsusa. They offer the kart with all the upgrades you could want.

[sultros]

@gvandenb Are these cheap pieces of crap? like the Chicom made mini bikes?

[kolby338]

[poggo45]

[richboytyson]

[richboytyson]

one of my friends has one of those and we used it to tow a japanese minitruck about a kilometer and up a 100 meter hill so i guess you can say that those things have balls

[midnighttoker00]

[theroadkilledchicken]

[Videolursch]

[roadhog18]

awsum man check out my vidz

[colmmorley]

well i am going to buy that type of buggy but just wondering is it reliable? Thanks please get back

[fredomeireles]

You can use the brake with the left foot very effectively.

[milesman95]

I Race Gokart In WKA Dirt Oval Series and YOU DRIVE WITH BOTH FEET.

[SizzlinNinja]

Nice drift man, I thought you were going into the woods!

[qwerty1869]

I hear a pug

[1993devin]

well i'm in canada and i am sorry for causing this debate because i do own a lance charger 250 and i use opposite feet to accelerate and brake because it is automatic and it is spacious enough to brake with your left foot and i apologize for not fully reading our comments

[1993devin]

i am being serious. and you have gas with your right foot and brake with your left! not the other way around

[1993devin]

these are not standard they are automatic and it is safer to have a foot on each pedal

[1993devin]

u brake with ur left foot!! just like any normal north american vehicle

[DeadPkscape]

go to driving school OR go to your parents your fucking 9 year old you break with your right foot snd you gas with your right foot ask your parents you fag

[1993devin]

some people use both feet you complete dipshit and i do drive fucker it's standard so i do know that u break with ur right so go fuck yourself

[Chevymalibu12]

Tell then to people who drift......lol.

[boriqua14pr]

its a go kart wtf do u think

[hollysmedia]

nice that thing is a beast! very cool

[TheRedneckGamers]

what is the name of the Go-Kart i would like to know and by the way nice property and how much did it cost u to buy them they are nice and so is that muffler

[gvandenb]

The karts are Lance Charger 250s and they were also imported under the Coolster Challenger brand. I bought them for around $2200/each but you can probably get them for around $2000 now.

[Xonegod]

You should update the info column with this info.

The vid revolves around the GoKarts, and there is a lot of interests from most who see it.

By the way, great vid, I know you have a blast with those things riding them when ever you feel like it. I recommend putting a crap-load of lights on them and riding them at night, that is if your property is big enough not to piss off the neighbors. LOL.

..X..

[gvandenb]

It used to have three lights across the front... but they were promptly removed when a friend rolled the kart on the first day i had them. I have replacement lights but just haven't put them back on yet.

I updated the description with the kart info.

[Xonegod]

Wow, I know what you mean about not having done it. That "Procrastination Monster" is hard to fight off, specially when those Gkarts beg insatiably to be ridden~!!! LOL.

If you ever get around to installing the lights, please post a longer vid, hopefully of the same quality, of your adventures. I ca not ride Gkarts currently and watching vids of others having a blast, makes feel like I am there my self. Have a blast. ^_^ 

..X..

[twinki1995]

what kind is that

[gvandenb]

The karts shown are Lance Charger 250s. They were also imported under the Coolster Challenger brand.

[gvandenb]

The first rollover took care of the headlights. I think they could have designed that part of the kart a little better. The radiator is the one that came with it... the only change i have made is the exhaust.

[035036503530]

missing one rear fender!

[gvandenb]

Yep... not really worried about it. The bolt holding it on worked itself loose and i never put the fender back on.

[gvandenb]

The exhaust is MRD Racing. I picked it up at a local go kart shop in Seattle. I had a welder fabricate the pipes.

[jlehga]

i have one of those too...where did you get the exhaust from?

[kippdr]

WD40 Fuck yeah

[Zman87gt]

Those look pretty sweet, I still like the old Honda Pilots though. But since you can't buy them new anymore these look like a good substittue. Thanks for sharing

[jcube34]

you got nice land for that

[billbackbob]

is it still for sale

[frankster262]

wicked g kart!

[joshstep1]

HOLY fuck nuts!!!!!! Those are sweet

[mattbmattc]

Looks like it would tip pretty easy with such a short wheel base

[MRSketch09]

I am no expert.. but as long as there still a certain height from the ground, I would imagine it would be fine.

[dorixo93]

is a nice car men how do it cost you?? please respond i want a buggy like that i am saving but i wan to now watis cost and were you buy

??

[gvandenb]

you can find these karts for around $2000

[duffrulez9]

hi, i live in the uk, do any of you recommend any go karts

[50centmnm]

uf u got that of of scooters factory dot come check out there website they dont sell anything what happend, reply, thanks

[gvandenb]

Apparently, where i bought mine no longer sells them. Do a google search for "coolster challenger" and you'll find some sites where you can buy them.

[skidude20814]

dnt buy from scootersfactory

take my advice

[50centmnm]

yhow bout e hobby, and whats wrong wit scoots factry

[sk8nike]

whats the max. speed on that?

[gvandenb]

The karts go about 35mph stock. You can make modifications if you want them to go faster. They have alot of low-end power without modifications. You can turn the wheel, stomp on the gas, and spin it until you get sick if you want.

[scrambler941]

i have a charger i baught and everything started to break on it i had to get it fixxed alot there awsome and fun to ride though now im gonna get mine fixed agian lol

[Hammerhead250SS]

Rofl my hammerhead 250ss 2 seater does 54 mph dont know where you got the 35 mph from...you where close....

i have video to prove it

[leviterande]

nice vehicle man

[luissoto18]

WHATS THAT GO KART CALLED?

[gvandenb]

It is a Lance Charger 250cc

[kingbasta123]

those ride so rough i got a hammerhead 250 its so much better and it goes alot faster

[gvandenb]

It has impressive low end power and goes about 35 mph

[dinan776]

i am going to buy a go kart but i need some help first. whats the top speed on this one and does it hav pretty good acceleration?

[BulldogsR7734]

Another quick question and i'll leave ya alone. lol Do you know of the sites that sell the performance parts for it. I have been looking all over and haven't had much luck. Where did you get your new pipe from? Thanks again.

[gvandenb]

I got the Martin Racing Performance(MRP) muffler from a local go kart racing shop and had a local welding shop fabricate a pipe.

You can get parts from extrememotorsales

[BulldogsR7734]

Is this cart as fast as they say they are? One website is selling them and it says they can reach 60+ depending on the weight of the driver. Also, how is there acceleration? is it quick or is it a slow smooth take off? I'm thinking about getting one just don't want to get it and be dissapointed with its performance lol. Thanks

[gvandenb]

You won't be disappointed with the power. It has plenty of torque. Out of the box it does not go 60+ mph. There are websites that have performance upgrades, but i haven't upgraded anything but the exhaust so far.

[924245]

hey , i'm about to buy this kart i'm 6'1 but i dont mind bending my knees a bit. Should i really spend all my part time job money on it? Do you regret buying it, and if you have any links to single seat 250cc go karts. please reply :)

[gvandenb]

I'd say if you had extra money to buy a go kart then do it, because it is fun for everyone. At 6'1 you'll be cramped in this kart. I personally would suggest you don't spend your part time money on it. That said, these karts are extremely fun. They have a respectable amount of power. Power sliding around corners never gets old.

[tsolmos]

Where did your lights and front decal go? I've got the same kart as yours only a 150.

[gvandenb]

My karts did not come with a logo on the front. The lights were the first casualty for the karts. The lights fell victim to reckless friends performing spectacular rollovers. Needless to say those friends have a new found respect for the karts.

[Jeremyfox43921]

Its called a Challenger 250 its an exelent cart and if u google it there is a site that sell's them 2100 usd :)

[stephshane1]

mod

 it yet

[MrKody1]

im 5'8 will i fit ok?

im thinking of geting one

[gvandenb]

They are the perfect size for you.

[chevybelair73]

is the 150cc charger the same size as the 250cc??? I'm ordering one real soon but i'm taking the engine off and putting on an 500cc motor from an motorcycle.. Is the size difference between the two only the engine??? i'm 6'1 and hoping i can fit in the 150cc comfortable... please reply ordering soon...

[gvandenb]

I have a friend who 6'2 and he was not comfortable. The karts are perfect for 5'10 and under. You should check the specs on scootersfactory to see if the dimensions are the same between the 150cc and the 250cc.

[47magnum]

Where did you get them, are they reliable, is it easy to get replacement parts and how much did it cost, I would really like to know because me and my friend are looking at getting a gokart in the 250cc range.

[gvandenb]

I got them from scootersfactory for about $2200 each. They are reliable in 50 degree weather but don't do so well in freezing temperatures.  There are sites online where you can get parts. I'm happy with the purchase, they are a lot of fun.

[47magnum]

Thankyou for the quick reply.

[rockingraver]

how much do they cost?????????????

[gvandenb]

$2200 from a website called scootersfactory

[rockingraver]

thanks

[rockingraver]

and do u know if they deliver to europe

[gvandenb]

I don't know... ask scootersfactory about their shipping.

[rockingraver]

k

thank

[gvandenb]

I got them from scootersfactory for $2200 USD

[stephshane1]

sweet is it a coolster

[gvandenb]

The karts were imported under two different names, Coolster Challenger and the Lance Charger. Chargers are shown in the video

[stephshane1]

hey man nice coolster dude how fast ?

[gvandenb]

They go about 35 mph. I am going to modify one of them and I will let you know how that turns out.

[JasonJacobi]

Did you say they were "Challengers" or "Chargers"...? I am looking at a 250cc Charger I found on a website that claims it can do 60mph, but I have a feeling it's a BS claim... Also they charge 2199.00 I am wondering if that is a good price..

[gvandenb]

They are the Chargers and they go about 35 mph. It could go faster but the way it is set up right now it tears up pretty steep hills. I am going to do some upgrades to one and see how much faster it goes.

[The23German]

how fast do they go at 250cc (around)?

[agent1080]

are those the challengers if so tell me the top speed

[Jaxon14]

when you got the chargers did you assemble them, or did you pay extra. if you did was it difficult?

[gvandenb]

I paid a little extra and they were dropped off at my house fully assembled. I just added coolant and gas, fired it up, and drove them immediately.

[llydbanks]

what make are the kart m8
