Neurotikart II, lighter pilot, better motor

[GranTurismoFan10]

stop spending money on these things and pay for a haircut for your kid

[pocketsearch]

I don't get why in every video, you guys are just spinning the back end out.

[5959512]

for $4500 you could have put a crotch rocket engine on it

[ghettogothfreestyler]

not a bad creation, I'm an inventor myself, You should look into getting some better wider tires before you end up with a hellacious hospital bill. I would suggest racing gokart tires, 10 inch rims with low profile rubbers.

[NM403NM]

Hey what kind of kart frame did you use?

[kwlincoln]

"100 pounds lighter" is a conservative estimate.

[kdkinen]

my god that looks fun! :D

-i want that so bad!!!!!

[25det]

you should set up some diesel squirters on the back wheels :D

[elsp1991]

time for battery to die?

[aaronray181]

nice man

[danny6000xtr]

Thats got loads of power! Check my videos mark - dan

[nolanlyons]

man i want that bad... how many watts does it put out? does it tip easy?

[knp062597]

do you have any of these for sale

[wires99]

$4500

[Kartmonkey]

my car isnt worth that much!

:(

[tirumisu]

Sad, isn't it? Imagine the cost of a real EV car conversion.

[selfactingmachine]

is this before or after the perm?

[wires99]

This is after the Perm. The motor on the kart shown here is the D&D ES-33.

[smokeytires92]

4500 is the price of the whole thing???

it sounds actually really good

[wires99]

Yeah, 4000-4500. You're one of the first to say that - many, many people have inquired about what they'd have to pay for such a thing, and the price is a shocker. All I can tell you is that it's not as expensive as a boat.

[smokeytires92]

hey i live in canada is ther a chance of me being able 2 buy one??

[cyborgtroy]

that's actually not bad. If only the world wasn't dominated by larger cars, I'd buy one to drive to work.

[TwistableTurn]

can i ask why you shelled out 4500$ for this and didnt just hook up a go kart with a motorcycle engine

[wires99]

Very good question. It didn't start out so expensive, but projects like this tend to grow. Also, I can't take a gasser everywhere I can take my EV karts. No noise, no smell.

[TwistableTurn]

Well yeah i guess i see your point. Good kart by the way

[dragonblood199]

Just burning rubber ^_^

I think that is the motor our go karts use. It weights sooo much more than it looks.

our karts weigh around 700 Pounds. 100 - 150 for the motor, 60 per battery, and a massive body for stupid safety standards....

And then when a 500 pound guy sits in it, and gets the bumper stuck on top of another karts bumper, than the real fun begins.

[wires99]

Wow, and I thought my karts were beasts... I'd guess the motor shown in this video weighs about 75 lbs, and the batteries about 50 each. The whole thing is 500 w/out driver. For all that, I was surprised at how quick it goes.

[dragonblood199]

Aww, guess since we have the same bettries, ours must be 50lbs too. Our motors look like the one your using in this video but I am not sure.

[cyborgtroy]

Yeah, electric karts are always-on and don't lose energy when idling. It's a lot more fun for short distances than gas...

[geoffreylalonde]

What type of charger are you using? Chargers can charge all the batteries at once right?

[wires99]

It's possible, but I'm using two 12v chargers and charging the batteries individually. That way I don't have to worry about balancing circuits. In the future, a single charger and a balancing setup would be easier.

[rockandrollvirus]

i loved watching all your videos. I always wanted to build my own go kart when i was little . keep it up!

[JUKIO01]

it makes to much noise for an electric motor, try using brushless

[wires99]

The noise is from the chain and sprockets. They're quieter when new, but the torque wears them out pretty quick. I'll be switching to a belt soon.

[killerp21]

the chain and sprockets would be fine but the way it is ridden is going to be tough on those parts. The belt drive isnt a bad idea.

[Kartmonkey]

that is awsome. you haver a real knack for building this sort of thing. you are well educated. i wish i could build that. when i work with wires or electrical stuff, its the hardest for me.

[FTWMikeDero]

How long does it take to charge? Front wheel drive would be an amazing (yet difficult, I would imagine) modification to this.

[wires99]

It takes about 6-8 hours if I really kill the batteries. Front drive would be a lot of trouble - I don't think so. I'd rather spin donuts.

[Kidiot]

Win!

[Kidiot]

But, as a more detailed comment, nice to see the second kart still in development after all this time since the first kart was started.

[slalomflex28]

Nice one mark. That motor IS a beast. I bet you were gutted when the perm motor burned out on you!

[wires99]

Yeah, I was *not* a happy dude. I found another guy here on YouTube that ran 700 amps into one, and he only got 10 minutes out of it. Those Perm motors are expensive and delicate. Better suited to one of those weird solar cars or something. I'll take the beefy one from now on.

[EETechs]

Mark, your series-wound motor is pretty powerful I must say!! I still have not upgraded to 72 volts yet on mine. I plan on it though. My gear ratio is 4:1 instead of 3:1 because the burnouts are just insane with that gear ratio! I could only imagine how it's like to go 72 volts with 4:1 ratio. Oh yeah I found out how to field weaken a series-wound motor to get more speed. I tell you in a message since I am taken up my character limit on here.

[wires99]

You know, ya gotta love the burnouts. The ability to spin donuts in my street was #2 of 3 of the original design requirements.  :D

[yoursuicide]

You say better motor, but what are the specs? Still running the same controller?

[wires99]

Yeah, it's an Alltrax AXE7234 controller, and a D&D ES-33 motor. I don't have the specs handy, but you can check it out at electricvehiclesusa on the web site. It's a beast - I think it puts out a peak of around 28 HP. Beats the hell out of the original Perm motor, which burned up after less than 8 hours of use. I've got over 60 hours on this one.
