4WD Power Wheels Go Kart First Drive! 228cc Custom 4X4 Ford Bronco Lives!

Our custom built Ford Bronco Power Wheels go kart drives for the first time! We still have a ton of optimization and tuning to do on this go kart, including swapping to a much shorter gear ratio (the theoretical top speed is over 100mph, but acceleration is poor and it's hard on the torque converter belt), fabricating and installing a floor, hand controls for gas and brake, and stiffening the suspension. So far, it's great! Definitely one of the smoothest first drive's we've had. The steering radius isn't great, and we're limited by the CV axles in the front suspension, and because both front and rear axles are always locked, it tends to understeer on tight corners. Other than that, this thing is great.

It's not just small, it is truly smol.

[@nicoketterer9665]

I would recommend stretching the whole frame in length. Then it will steer much better and so will get more power to the ground. Also Ike will fit in much better ;)

[@davidcorfitzson5211]

That's exactly what I was thinking

[@iFleebag]

Wouldn’t stretching it make the turning radius worse?

[@gonracn]

Stretch the frame and raise the engine a bit (if necessary) to be able to get a proper steering angle. No reason for it to be this small- just looks uncomfortable for both of you. Would be way more fun if you can sit in it for more than 20min!

[@nicoketterer9665]

Time to buy a lathe and mill, and make your own U-joints for steering.

[@otm646]

Switching to an impact rated swivel is going to give you better material properties for welding than a standard chrome vanadium. Still not ideal, but better.

[@joshvandruff1790]

This thing might just be my second favorite build. Next to the cozy coupe. Third would be the rat rod wagon.

[@slebdad]

If it works, use it. You’re builds are always great. As they say, “parts is parts”.

[@beakerunrefined4230]

You can usually gain a little height on your tires by over inflating them and leaving them out in the hot sun. After their stretch session you can drop the psi to the desired level for use. This is very useful when you have a zero turn mower that likes to vere one way or the other due to different tire heights and you've used up all your adjustment.

[@stevonnice4304]

Very inventive using that wobble socket joint for a stearing knuckle.

[@junkyardboost8372]

Not really considering they could have got an actual steering shaft u joint for $25 and it wouldn’t be sloppy

[@lucerofam5]

Need to also put some roller skates on the back bumper for them wheelies 😂

[@87octane33]

I did the exact same thing with some steering on a kart a few months ago. Once it's welded up, it works great.

[@jessemorrow3512]

Next time just get you some of the black impact universals and some of the black IMPAC extensions and then that way you won’t have to worry about the chrome contaminating your weld and they should work just fine

[@sheldonhall4572]

I would suggest a quick release mecanism for the wheel. It will help you get in and out easier as well as extend the wheel towards the driver and for both of your heights and seating positions it would only make it a little bit more comfy and allow your arms some improved movement when your zipping through the woods. Aesthetically its by far one of my favorite builds so far.

[@joeyhammer1998]

I am definitely using a tillotson engine and a juggernaut torque converter when i build a power wheels kart. Its more go kart esque than using a motorcycle engine

I've seen other builders tack weld the entire project, then test drive it and then make surprised pikachu face when the whole thing falls apart.

[@Trevinator1990]

personally, i would stretch it another 8 inches, just for leg room, stability and improved weight distribution so you can steer it properly.

[@riccky3142]

Great job but from a mechanical standpoint the way you have it set up your tires need to be the same size front and rear like a real awd or since you have no transfer case . You will end up with front and rear axles trying to turn at different rates causing binding in drive system.

[@tslater1989]

I love it looks awesome. I know you were going for lightweight small footprint. But I think making it 3-4 inches longer would be hugely beneficial.

Put nut on fine threads then beat with soft hammer. From 75 to 85 made millions of things with threads. I am the thread master. Can chase, roll, cut threads with many different thread chasing heads that hold inserts that take off a quarter each cutter in head to make the finish head. Did you know there are an infinite sizes of threads. You precisley check threads with three wires and a micrometer.you guys need a lathe and a bridgeport. Learn how to use them and make anything in the world. I am 1 of 3 that made chop saw gears for black and decker back in 80's. Ran 4 machines at same time.
