I wish I had a friend like you @Brad. Love your videos. 50K let’s go !!!! So Happy I found your channel, I am researching getting my 5 year old into Karting and your channel came up. 🎉❤

[@BradPhilpot]

That’s really kind! There’s loads of really exciting content coming up soon. And yes - let’s push to 50k in 2025!

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

You moan at me for not being there on van pick up, you video me singing, then you screw my race 3! Some friend. Your video is only good cos I’m so funny! 😂 another masterpiece brad, (the vid not the driving, I mean 4th!!! Come on!!) on to the next one!!

[@BradPhilpot]

Your singing is better than your driving at least

[@Rob_Turner_UK]

only a good friend can write that 😂

[@EmmieFloding]

Great video Brad and awesome to see GX-UK being filled out and the racing being so tight! For those ten points then, he's cutting the sprocket so he can mount and unmount it without removing the whole rear axle 😉

[@BradPhilpot]

Bingo! Ten points to you! 🤩🔥

[@grubbymangomotorsport3992]

Great video Brad, can’t wait for Lydd ❤

[@BradPhilpot]

Thanks for watching!

[@Rokynutz]

The chichane confidence in early runs made you dangerous to everyone else. great runs! (dangerous in the best possible way. felt i needed to explain myself.)

[@BradPhilpot]

😂

[@Benknightracing41]

He cut his sprocket to get it on the axle 18:00

[@LoudestHoward]

Great video, may I suggest you flip the reverse camera footage when you use it picture in picture so it's more like a mirror?

[@FForster2009]

Loving the vids Brad 👌🏼

[@BradPhilpot]

Thank you for watching them Leo! British Rallycross champion Leo Forster everyone! ⬆️⬆️⬆️

[@Angus_Langley_Racing]

Nice video, I like the longer videos aswell!! 🔥🔥

[@BradPhilpot]

I’ll definitely be moving more towards 15-30 min length from now on.

[@Angus_Langley_Racing]

@@BradPhilpot Great idea !!

[@paulhandley1465]

Awesome video

[@BradPhilpot]

Thanks dude ❤️

[@HybridGt2052]

Great vid Brad, it was good to meet Danny. We had a difficult weekend as at one point i had two very broken karts to fix and not the right parts to fix them but i managed to get one out for the next heat and the other fixed for the final, stressful for me but an enjoyable weekend of racing for the boys.

[@BradPhilpot]

Thanks Neil!

[@atdmotormechanics]

Yeah I'm amazing 😅

[@adxkartingexperience]

Awesome vlog. Love the weekend. Not the result you deserved but as you said a long championship! Let's goo!

[@BradPhilpot]

Appreciate the support. New ADX race suit next time will be worth 0.5s per lap 😂

james shut up you scamming fucking knob

Cracking video, bring on round 2 in a few weeks at Lydd!

[@BradPhilpot]

Thanks for watching (and starring in) the video!

[@asphalt9871]

17:56 what product is he using? (I’m fairly new to racing pro karts)

[@BradPhilpot]

It’s sandpaper! 😅

[@asphalt9871]

@@BradPhilpot you literally only use sand paper? Nothing else and what’s the no. Of the sand paper?

[@BradPhilpot]

@@asphalt9871 sandpaper is what she’s using in the clip - but once the thick rubber is removed we use nail polish remover and a microfibre cloth (and lots of effort) to remove the rubber.

[@fossy239]

clearly those fig rolls for breakfast weren't quite the breakfast of champions I thought they were... Great racing all weekend though :)

[@BradPhilpot]

Haha - well done on the pole Russell! Great debut!

[@georgemassey4724]

Mega video Brad 🚀

[@BradPhilpot]

Thanks George!

[@oliedillon647]

Good vid to go along with the rest. With this being "cheap" karting, how much do you think it costs you per round to race?

[@BradPhilpot]

So, you’ve got fuel at £10-15, travel (depends where you live and are going), accommodation, entry fees at £125 for the weekend - then just if you break anything (which I haven’t done this season). So minimum is about £150 for the weekend if you stay in your van / car.

[@oliedillon647]

@@BradPhilpot might be a silly question but what chassis are you using?

[@BradPhilpot]

It’s a 2016 OTK

[@DanWalker97_]

Great video Brad, iPhone shots much better now 👌🏻

[@BradPhilpot]

And the new expensive camera shots look even better right!?

[@ArthurLangleyy]

18:00 to apply the sprocket without taking the axle off

[@BradPhilpot]

Correct!

[@KartingTrackGuides]

@@BradPhilpot Oh, I thought you might have been making a make-shift seat stay!

[@jonathanbott1144]

Fig rolls, best biscuit

[@BradPhilpot]

They don’t even make it onto the top 20

[@TJMJOEY]

18:05 so he can Bend i over his axel

[@CallumRaces]

Name something Brad loves more than taking ALL OF THE CURB 😅

[@BradPhilpot]

So you’re saying I should use more kerb. Understood.

[@JonnyElliott24]

Great video! Repeat this style for Lydd!

[@BradPhilpot]

Thanks for watching - and yes this the style of video for this season. ⬇️

[@Harryqs]

Cutting the sprocket as you don't have to take off the rear axle as the clutch is on the left

[@Rob_Turner_UK]

Went to buy a cap but not in the link?

[@Prime-dv5jx]

He cuts it so he can get it on the axel because it is in bore

[@BradPhilpot]

That’s right. The inboarded axles in GX-UK mean the only alternative to this is totally removing the axle to change sprocket.

[@LMPRacing]

Brad why did you take me out the video whyyyyyyyyyyy 😂😂 You still did good brad 4th well done ✔️ 👍 👌

@@BradPhilpot Hi Brad I'm Dad, I hope the lad wasn't pestering you too much over the weekend. if he wants to make a fool of himself for the whole internet to see thats fine by me. P.S. Glad the ratchet strap idea worked for you. See you at Lydd (i'll try and keep the lad on a shorter leash next time) :D

[@BradPhilpot]

@@capitaint9560 it’s never pestering. I love how enthusiastic the cadets are. I feel bad for not being able to give them more time. But I really appreciate them / you watching the videos and I’ll be making these at every round this season.

you said 10pts for what danny is doing hes cutting it to get the sproket onto the axle because the size of the axle is too big
