  • his brakes went out.

  • I see what your up to now! Your off-roading

    that thing! Well that is a horse of a

    different color. My car wouldn't last a

    minute on the roads you race down.

    The No-brainer comment was meant for the guys

    who yank the motor on a go-cart. You Sir have

    demonstrated building skill, creativity , and

    iron nards for that berm jump. Good show!

  • Thanks Greg. I hope you don't see me as a 'no brainer'. Yes, my kart does run a solid axle, but it is not a converted go kart. Purpose built for downhilling, but it does look like a buggy. Also, I mainly drive on dirt, so solid axle doesn't really affect my cornering.

    Please check out my channel for my kart build & driving clips.

  • Yeah, but a solid rear axle means both rear

    wheels spin at the same RPM. That means one

    wheel will be scrubbing off speed in the

    corners. Worst yet, under severe corning,

    it will cause the inside tire to loose traction, initiating a spin.

    Converted go-carts, or engineless go-carts,

    are a simple, no-brainer approach. Scratch

    build something fast and then you get respect.

  • That was a nasty looking crash at the end. Glad all are OK. My kart runs a solid rear axle, no unbalanced brakes for me. How quick are you going down there? Looks like about 80km/h (50mp/h). I've done about 70km/h in mine, but have longer steeper hills to hit.

  • Well of coarse.

  • Glad to hear it man, I still want to be able to come out and play with you guys!

  • I would like to quote "Bluto Blutarsky" from the movie Animal House when i say "HOLY SHITHA"!!!!

  • We just like giving you shit Chris dont sweat it.

  • All apologies to everyone who sustained damage on that hill. I really didn't think it would be such a problem. I guess I need to pay more attention to the shut down area.

    I'm just glad everyone is ok.

    That said, I did warn you guys that the hill was hairy and might be too much for your brakes...

    On the other hand, I also who I'm going to consult as far as soapbox safety construction. That thing really took a hard impact well.
