[RobotNoob2011]

How big is your Steering column?

[RobotNoob2011]

Hey Dude can u please send me the links from where you got those parts?

Thanks Love ur vids :D

[TheComputerDewd]

@RobotNoob2011 I get this question at least 3 times a day. I can send you link's for sold parts, sorry.

[RobotNoob2011]

@TheComputerDewd It's K man

[RobotNoob2011]

@TheComputerDewd But Can U explain to me how you make the brake disc to work? U sorta went a bit fast

:P

[mrsmilly12345]

@TheComputerDewd i might get the frame back i have a engin and cani drive it aroud my neiberhood without a licens or is that a major street

[ThePowerPhil]

oh! man I love this i wanna make my own go kart,your project is amazing

[thehim34]

what if i just put some whells on an axle then have a a bar welded onto the front axle and put a whell on the bar and use that

[robertdonald123]

where did you get that steering wheel

[gallowman89]

@masterlee101 Probably not. First where would all of your controls go? And why would you want to?

[masterlee101]

can you put a steering wheel in a motorcycle ?

[DobsQc]

Nice videos man ! Just askin, Could it be possible to add suspension to the spindle kit if we would do frame modifications ?

[TheComputerDewd]

@DobsQc Yes, of course!

[Jonathanpoll]

@DobsQc Yes, you would be able to, but then make sure your trackrod ends move enough for the suspension to be max in and max out.

[elchayson]

do you know where you can find a steering kits for a 2 seater go kart bc thts what im trying to build?



[Tastaalex]

please tell me where you can buy the steering column, spindle kit and the tie rod kit

[TheComputerDewd]

@Tastaalex I got mine from ebay.

[Tastaalex]

@TheComputerDewd thank you



[Tastaalex]

where did you get the parts in this video?

[Tastaalex]

where did you buy all the stuff

[UltimateHItlerRants]

What you are calling 'plastic washers' are actually called bushings. I also notice

you had to notch your frame to make room for the tie rods. Couldn't you have avoided this by putting the spindle brackets lower or higher? And, when you tell people to tighten the spindle nuts, you ought to say something about leaving enough clearance so the axles can turn. You gotta get a little more technical here little dude!

[JDRfilms2]

you saved me... thanks so much for these videos!!

[sonicxcool123]

can you make a spindle out of wood

????

[RcKyle2]

where can i get the spindal brackets set?

[kokoBellaSelenaEvery]

Put some SHOCK's ... made it off road , post video :) I want to make one of that its cool

[TheComputerDewd]

@kokoBellaSelenaEvery Ur going to make a go kart using my plans? Sure, please post a video responce! :D

[Martin18674]

where is your Ep.1 of the go kart mod?

[TheComputerDewd]

@Martin18674 Just uploaded ;D

[Martin18674]

@TheComputerDewd Where is it uploaded

[mikezzed]

how long was that steering column? it looks about 12 inches but all i can find are 22 inch steering columns.

[shortyjk95]

You seem very little but you and your dad are working hard on that and you guys are doing a very great job

Keep up the great work

[rchez09]

Cool, however I want to make my steering column removable.

[TheComputerDewd]

@rchez09 U could use some clip's, but it would bet VERY unstable.

Thanks, Jason

[rchez09]

@TheComputerDewd I have done this now. I made the column from 20mm tube and bought some 20mm purpous made plasitic bushes that have a mounting point at the bottom. I have some locking collars to stop it sliding up/down. remove the steering wheel, undo the lock collars and tie rods and out it comes.

[rchez09]

and also my steering wheel boss is removable. its held on by a 6mm bolt. Thanks for the vid though it helped give me ideas!

[patelx98]

instead of using metal could you use wood?

[TheComputerDewd]

@patelx98 Noooooooo, it would break on u sooo easily.

[alextroch]

@patelx98 you actually can there are a lot of how to vids of wooden karts floating around

[TheComputerDewd]

@patelx98 Well using my method? Nahh.

[MrBrennan008]

how do i get a sterreing collumn can i make one?

[TheComputerDewd]

@MrBrennan008 U can make one, but i highly recommend buying one.

[MrBrennan008]

@TheComputerDewd can i buy one from aco or tell me where i can get one

[MrBrennan008]

What kinds of nuts bolts and washer do I use to make the whole go kart all kinds

[byrinkolobashi]

dude your the best

how do you do this shit

[TheComputerDewd]

@byrinkolobashi Magic ;D

[kpocalipsis28]

Thanks, I have to build one for a school race and I had no idea how to do it :D

[TheComputerDewd]

@kpocalipsis28 If ur ganna use my plans, please post a vid responce.

[6Kurrency9]

I think it's funny that it's the voice of a kid but a grown mans hand that's doing the work. not trolling I have much love for the father helping his son build a go kart. I hope you have fun driving !

[TheComputerDewd]

@6Kurrency9 Haha. He did all the welding and i did everything else, and thanks! it is really fun, also i got a camera mount for my helmet so i can make a on-board vid of me driving it.

Thanks, Jason

TCD

[MrFrozenfurry]

Oh and also I had trouble attacking the tie rods to the steering column. Am I supposed to use my fists for this?

[TheComputerDewd]

@MrFrozenfurry Ha? Ha? I get it?

[MrFrozenfurry]

I got a little confused at 1:24. Can you make a video showing us how to attack the jam nuts?

[braseldazzle]

what r those wires? plz answer quick im building it

[SlapThatDonkey]

I can't find the spindle set - I live in the UK?

[amaron]

@1:20 why would you want to attack that?

[nicholas5674]

[TheComputerDewd]

Thanks, jason

[leafyism]
