4WD Power Wheels Go Kart gets New Suspension + Gearing! 228cc Ford Bronco Build

We're getting close to completing our Tillotson 228cc powered 4WD power wheels go kart! In today's episode, we change the final drive gear from top speed to more acceleration. We also change the shocks, stiffening them up for a firmer and more controllable ride. We'll be painting this project soon, and it'll be complete!

That extra large hub almost looks the same diameter as the drum brake you installed. Almost like it want's to be the brake itself :D

[@mtbtv5686]

This guy is right on!🙌

[@Toolingabout]

With a simple jig and a drill press you could relatively accurately drill large holes in the hub to lighten it

[@Toolingabout]

I wonder if you drilled large holes through the side of the hub and small holes in the OD (braking surface) if it would aid in cooling like a drilled brake rotor

[@Brutalford]

LOL I was just watching the video and was about to say the same thing until I read your message that Hub size is damn near the size of that brake

[@ScottGovey]

@@Toolingabout yes you can cross drill holes on the braking surface of the drum to help cool it, it also gives the water somewhere to go to help prevent brake fade. I have cross drilled drums for older from drum brake cars in the past just for this reason. Just don't get carried away with to many holes lol.

[@keithgrant3929]

Rock crawlers are supposed to have a soft suspension, helps keep the tires planted when crawling. Great build. Enjoy watching

[@stevendegonia]

I would put 2 more layers of padding and the red Bubba shocks on the back, then paint the frame!

[@robertpayne6960]

Yep, Ike's fat a$$ requires it. Additionally, I am sure they weigh more than the engine/etc. in the front thus the need for a more aggressive spring in the rear to actually have a level ride height vice the squat they now have.

[@drewanderson8279]

You guys are almost to 1 million subs. That's freaking awesome!

[@JunkyardDigs]

2:28 was probably me sending another snapchat of a Honda ATC 😂😂

[@timvanandel4485]

You could change the rear suspension "stiffness" by standing the rear shocks up more vertical. I might also help the roll

[@ExperimentalFun]

I love these power wheels builds, maybe you can put the steering forward on the other side of that bar and go through the engine plate to make a little more room?

[@NVMDSTEvil]

one of these days they'll learn to stop putting the steering between their knees

[@stefanmorris-miles2466]

Love watching you should test putting red shocks in the back as you weigh more than the engine so it will then all react smoother and potentially keep that wheel down

[@derekolson4168]

When you are changing gearing. Changing the small sprocket in the equation has a greater effect than changing the large one. Example, if you have a 12 tooth clutch and a 60 tooth wheel, you will get a 5 times the change adding or removing one tooth to the clutch versus adding or removing one tooth to the wheel.

[@datraktorman69]

They can't even do the simple math to figure out the ratio,I think what your telling them may be above their ability

[@Truth_Spoken]

Uhh, no. It’s not 5 times the change. Yes a tooth difference on the smaller gear will have more of an effect than a tooth on the larger gear but no where near 5 times. The gear ratio is calculated by dividing the number of teeth of the driving gear by the number of teeth of the driven gear. Doesn’t matter which is changed, it’s always that formula to calculate the change.

[@syzygy3239]

Just some tasteful fender flares on the body and I think it looks like a bunch of fun.

[@nolancross2640]

So close to 1 million subs!!! Keep it up! I've been watching for nearly 5 years, and loved every video!

[@Toolingabout]

Change out the spring and weights in torque converter for more rpm and harder launches

[@JRWperformance]

THIS!!! That engine RPM should be higher! needs heavier weights in the primary!

[@WreckedRevival]

Yuppp I'm convinced I need to build a power wheels Kart. 🤘

[@FloridaMan0561]

This thing is a little beast!!!

[@chrism9069]

I’ve always wondered why the rear shocks are at such a steep angle, it essentially defeats the spring, placing it closer to straight up and down would make it not sag as much and allow the springs and shocks to do their jobs more effectively.

[@seanlockhart8431]

The suspension looks perfect

[@69king101]

Black shocks on front like you have done and put the red shocks on the back. It will work better. Keep safe guys and hope everyone is well..

[@quadshopcustoms1228]

grind hard plumbing co lengthened there Barbie jeep and it looks great. so did rather b welding. it would make Ike look less like king Kong in the bronco.

[@fatallawndrift2452]

[@SportbikerNZ]

Defeats their original objective of going for the smallest unit, which it looks like they've achieved rather well.

[@HugosGoKartsHd]

that's a sweet little thing, looks like a lot fun driving in mud, I love power wheels, keep it up guys.

[@lindsey349]

Its know wonder the rear is soft with them shocks so layed down, you would have to have twice as much spring to make it as stiff as a shock standing up.

[@richgiesey3806]

Almost a million can't wait

[@brsrc759]

I love this build! But I really feel like it desperately needs another 8-12" of length. I know Ike would sure appreciate it

[@donellmuniz590]

Just some outboard footpegs would make a big difference.

[@harryrenner4016]

But right now they can lay claim to having the smallest four wheel drive Power Wheels go kart build on You Tube. plus they are trying to keep the power to weigh ratio as good as they can. I can say for them but would be a guess.

[@brsrc759]

@@harryrenner4016 Yeah if they are trying to hold the record for the smallest then I guess it makes sense

[@kennethdispain1807]

That thing is pretty awesome

[@richardbrowne1217]

I think you guy should weld on some mounts on the gas tank for a racing seat instead of a camping pad. Put some memory foam on top of the camping pad with a piece of vinil over top of it. You need a better carburator. That one bogs out. Testing is just part of working out the bugs. If you lenghten the steering shaft longer, you two could easily steer it better with out hitting your knees and legs. Good video! 😁👍 Don't be mad at me. I was just sugesting.

[@patloughner9551]

Thats an awesome build!!!

[@enginerd1776]

Sway bar on that front would fix your lean- I'd move the wheel out and up- and put a hydraulic brake of some sort... what a project gents!

[@nhmtrhd]

I mess around like you guys do in my shop. I am not an expert but my observation on the Bronco being too soft is that your rear shocks are layed down “way” too low. As your suspension compresses the rear shocks loose their leverage and spring rate is decreased alot! Please raise the top mount. You may have to also move the lower one twords the swing arm pivot to retain your ride height. I never write comments. I love your show to watch when my shop is too cold to work in. Keep the vids coming 😎

[@bldallas]

Get one of those old school square boat pad/life preservers. They are about 2” thick and make a good seat padding for this type of thing....

im currently disassembling a briggs lawnmower engine, going to swap it in my moped, struggling to pull the flywheel tho. love your videos!

[@jasonwhite8722]

. if you have a impact . use it to pull the flywheel nut. .. If not. Remove the spark plug . and push some rope into the spark plug hole . .. _( so the rope jams between the piston and cylinder head ). This shoukd let you . Remove the flywheel nut with a ratchet. . then if you donot have one I. Reccomend getting a 2-3 jaw puller large enough to remove the flywheel. . the wrong way to do it with out a puller. Is risky. As it involves runni g tge flywheel nut flush with the crank shaft end and prying up on the flywheel with a couple flat bars while tapping on the flywhel nut with a hammer. ( if u hit it hard you can mess up the crank shaft. . if the nut is not threaded on to protect the threads from the hammer. You'll mist likley mess them up... ) why a puller is best.

You connected the drum break backwards. If the solid mounting point is on the bottom and the cable is on the top the The friction when applying the brake will tend to pull the band towards your cable assisting in the break action. With the cable on the bottom the friction pulls against your cable trying to open the band up fighting Against the braking action.

If you move the rear upper shock mounts further up the chassis, closer to the fuel tank, it will also stiffen up and give you more articulation. You want a resting positive rake so it’s somewhat level while one of you are riding.
