Carbide / Quantum 7150 Go Kart Mini Buggy walkaround and Virtual Ride

[Jrm4cam]

did any of these have suzuki motors?

[talon960]

the suspension on these are very great and reliable. very nice ride

[DjSplashx]

can u do a review on the 265 Quantum (carbie) im getting one, but it has a 26hp engine... and the helix ant that great, it off roading sucks

[fogt1430]

These things are junk. It has a ram air and it goes a top speed of 30 mph wtf. Parts are hard to get. They finally redesigned the carb about a year ago because they had so many problems.  Why you would need all of those vacuum lines on a gravirty feed carb on a small engine I will never know.

[12doogy]

@fogt1430 I have had mine for about 2 years now.(1689 miles) Only problems I really had was the rim exploding and my spark plug. It still runs strong.

[GhillieSnipesAC130]

what kind of hills can you scale? is 150cc enough??

[KHranger]

do u want to sale

[mustangfan6918]

i have one of these and mine will go in reverse but foward it barely does pull out like a slipping clutch i dont know anything about this things what does it sound like to you

[madman8451]

@mustangfan6918 are u leting the engin go back to idle before shiifting?

[BuggyMasters]

@steelrogue0 Yes, it takes a key. Suspension is great.

[madman8451]

were can i find the upgrades for this cart at?

[lantagne54yahoocom]

what is the top speed

[Sn0wm0bileD00d]

@michaelisbeast2014 it's overall a great cart. Top speed is about 45 mph. Only real problems I've ever had are front fenders breaking (because front is widest part) and that original tires suck.

[Polaris500Indy]

i have that but it never works right. i cant even start it anymore

[skatingdayandnight]

how tall is the guy driveing

[jacev8]

nice....most over hear have 4 wheel brake , how ever the trend to use a single rear brake on the axl is growing

there is a place called mrp (martin race proformance) who do upgrade parts

[madman8451]

hi i own 1 of these karts and i would like to buy some upgrades for it, i liive in northen OH and idk were to get them and, if any1 could help me find 1 i would be very greatfull...thnks!

[pearljamfan44]

[madman8451]

@pearljamfan44 scott i never said were at..

[pearljamfan44]

but telling someone u live in northern ohio is enough to attract rapists to your neiborghood!

[madman8451]

@pearljamfan44 ok idc anymore

[hacker1462]

ill stick with my briggs and stratton go kart

at least i can get parts for it and faster too

[BuggyMasters]

These machines are VERY easy to get parts for. That's the thing about the China based go karts. It's all about knowing which machines are worthy for the sake of reliability and parts availability. The American Sportworks machines are fantastic quality and the parts are easily had and very inexpensive. I know of NO factory briggs powered machine that will go through what these will when pushed to their limits.

[theatomizer]

I've got one of these carts, and one of my friends smashed it into a tree, and destroyed the front left wheel, like, destroyed it. We took it to a shop and it was over THREE WEEKS before we got it back. When we finally did the Guy said its extremley hard to find parts for it, and he had to superheat most of the parts and rebuild almost all of it. Idk if the Guy didn't know where to look or what, but it sure wasn't easy for us to find parts...

[BuggyMasters]

they are the easiest and least expensive parts of all the ones we have had. Must not have known where to go. You can get them direct from American Sportworks.

[MitchFisch12]

@BuggyMasters how expensive are most of them

[12doogy]

@BuggyMasters I agree. I have blew a rim completly in half and all i had to do was go on the web and order the part. It came 6 days later.(buisness days)

[jaw18245]

@BuggyMasters I haven't found any tires for mine yet. Know where i can? And they are great offroad. I drove mine through water up pass the tires. Please let me know.

[theatomizer]

my brother brock his arm on this go kart... go karts are no more safe than a dirt bike... we have 3 dirt bikes and 1 old go kart. and this go kart. i rold it. my brother flipt it and then my brother rold it and brock his arm... do not bye this go kart... none of my familey have brocken bones on a dirt bike... -_- do not bye it.

[CTAngler481]

You do realize that these are ADULT go karts, that are meant to be ridden by responsible, mature adults. ;)

[metamorabirds98]

@theatomizer yeh u obviously cant drive atleast this has a roolcage

[theatomizer]

lol, I need to get my lil brother his own youtube account...

I had just gotten off my dirt bike, which has much better handling, so I was sliding a little to much. lol

[metamorabirds98]

@theatomizer what?

[theatomizer]

Sorry, I know that didn't make sense...

My little brother posted the original comment...

I was saying it flipped because I had just gotten off of my dirt bike, on which I take corners much faster than you should on this go cart, so I was going to fast into turn and power slide/dirt drifting. Just don't slide in this thing and you'll be alright...

[metamorabirds98]

@theatomizer wat ev

[jacev8]

its a gy6 honda step through scooter motor

[metamorabirds98]

@jacev8 no it isnt its a sabaru 6.5 hp i believe

[theatomizer]

Idk, but I know this ain't no scooter engine. LOL :p

[jacev8]

yes my friend its the same ....humble begining

[jboy19996]

Sorry if this question sounds stupid, but is this a manual shift? I could have sworn I saw a clutch.

[BuggyMasters]

No stupid questions. These are fully auto.

[joshstep1]

whats the difference between the carbide and the quantum, i think in 07 or 08 the carbide had the old small subaru engine and then they put a 150cc in it.... right?

[BuggyMasters]

Actually, they are the same thing but you are right that the early carbides had a regular lawn mower style engine on them at 265cc if I remember right.

[199cole]

i tookhe pipe off mine

[onlygodcanjudgem1000]

does this have reverse

[24evanwilson]

yes it does

[onlygodcanjudgem1000]

niceee

[24evanwilson]

just so u no this is not people and blogs  (clicked the wrong one)

[24evanwilson]

i think the longer wheelbase is better on the helix too, makes for great hill climbing
