750cc Cross Kart vs. 900cc Ducarti Go Kart | MAD THRASH!

[@CarsandCameras]

DUCARTI WAS INSANE while it lasted! Time to throw a new clutch on it (with a cover this time) and do it again!

[@jamesbarker5697]

Damn it John quit shifting like that

[@loganb9265]

CarsandCameras you should put the Ducati in the kart

[@Avetho]

"you were hittin me with dirt it just felt like a _sandstorm"_ Well, I guess you could say that was _da-rude_ thing to do when racing on dirt.

[@matthewduncan9738]

this is an underrated comment

[@joelryan8881]

Ha... ha... ha...

[@OGbqze]

😂😂😂

[@Watchmedome3017]

I say swap the Ducati engine into the cross kart it needs more power. That 750 would go perfect in the smaller frame.

[@aydanangus]

750 is way to big

[@tebibyte2357]

cross kart is 900cc :) They should make a second cross kart

[@benjamintaylor3962]

I agree!

[@dednside5229]

A 900 Ducati has less power than a 700 inline 4

[@theroyalaustralian]

@No Limit Brian Are you serious? Incoming meme: *oh, hell no!*

[@stykytte]

Damn, sucks about the Miata, glad you're okay John! Merry Christmas to you, Isaac and all your families!

[@blkicemike4857]

My ol 'CB750 ,she was a beast!! I could get 90mph in 2nd gear & not be redlined. Fellas y'all need them 4carbs installed and set . That'd open a whole new power plant I'm almost positive. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on ur project in no way! Just tryna help get optimal performance out of it! To be honest I'm tired of seeing them dam raptors pull in front of you when runnin them. That cart should F'ing smoke'em. I'm confident in time it'll happen. You can do it😎👍🏼..

[@gt1man931]

It is so far down on power it is a joke as it sits.

[@thercdude9382]

Merry Christmas guys enjoy the holidays and thanks for a bunch of awesome videos over the past year it's been a blast following you. Much love from New Zealand

[@alexchristian5399]

You guys really need to get a bigger set of carbs or just more carbs because that thing (Cross Kart)is starving for more powa baby

[@JustMakingItHap-en]

Alex Christian facts

[@JustMakingItHap-en]

And bigger Tires would be awesome

[@darrenkastl8160]

This is C and C man! This just ain't no B for Build! This is normal guys shit here, yea! You know the ones that don't think they gotta have all that fake feminine testosterone going on

[@bobdillon1138]

And they arn't using the clutch and gears properly to keep it in the power band

[@alexchristian5399]

bob dillon yea but it is probably a very small range with the air and fuel mix so I don’t blame them for not getting it perfect

[@jackdaniels5205]

That cross cart is exactly that. I absolutely love it. I know you guys are probably done messing with the exhaust,but if you ever have the itch to try something different. Thoes 90° bends are not the best for flow if you can remove one of the 90° bends this should help performance if you ever mess with and go back to the 4 carb setup. Either way awesome video🤙🤙

[@mrrooter601]

i wonder if they could have it go out sideways and curve around to where the muffler is now, would be much better flow

[@miracle7088]

The cross kart would working amazingly well on some ATV tires. I am sure that John and Ike could fabricate up some hubs that would work with the current suspension set up.

[@ghomerhust]

j- sorry to hear about your crash bro, i got t-boned back in june, totaled my rare mk2 jetta pirelli coupe and landed me in the hospital, im still recovering. so its good to see you up and going. the karts look great, im so impressed with how the cross kart handles the rough terrain, you guys really did hit a sweet spot on that chassis layout. i hope to see the ducarti back soon, but i do really wanna see that motor get some love before that happens. hope you and ike have a happy holiday!

[@Lord_Verminaard]

So sorry to hear about your accident John. Same thing happened to me, rear-ended by a texting driver in a SUV. Totaled my TDI Beetle which I had just put $3500 worth of parts and upgrades into. It was a long fight with the at-fault insurance company as well and I ended up buying the car back with the intention of fixing it. Good luck I hope everything goes ok with the Miata, and glad nobody was hurt.

[@riorica1]

Desmo time on that Ducati! A clutch rebuild and the desmo service will have that engine back up to its 85hp glory lol. Cover the clutch this time tho... As for the cross cart, the thing absolutely looks like it's a blast. I do really wish it was hooking up with all of its ponies, but it's still doing alright for itself. Can you spare it some grease? Sounds like it's trying to make babies.

[@sheldonhall4572]

Merry Christmas Jon, Isaac, and to the rest of the Cars and Cameras fam. Please stay safe so we can keep getting awesome vids in 2020!

[@ronwadeII]

Since John especially seems to struggle with the left hand shifter for the cross cart and instead of paddle shifters, why not a left paddle clutch and a left foot shifter so it’s very similar to a motorcycle. Just a thought! Love the videos! Hopefully not RIP for the Miata!

[@johnsigl2042]

Sorry to hear about your car john, I hope everything goes good with it and hopefully getting it fixed, get video always love watching them and you and Ike have a good Christmas and happy new year as well!!

[@motorcyclemechanic.]

Yeah now it's time to upgrade to a truck like a man

[@benjaminthompson8611]

Y’all need to turn a shopping cart into a go cart. It would be a funny, experimental episode and I think people would love it (including me).

[@smokiest_purple4080]

I remember you guys talked about using that motor for the kross kart, would be cool to see how both motors worked swapped around.

[@travisking255]

Glad you're ok man. Conhrats on the new place! Can't wait to see it! And the C10 videos!!

[@mingusbreeze]

Thanks, guys, that was a lot of fun. Your head to head videos are epic.

[@tristansmith2553]

Guys move the shifter forward on the cross cart it might help with the weird cross over shifting john is doing, as well as making it easier to shift. I love them both, they are sick, but I would defo have the cross cart such a cool set up

Or john could just shift with his left hand like a real jdm bro

[@thomasgu3281]

I was thinking the same thing. This boy needs to shift with his left hand

[@noahsimpson420]

Always excited for new video. Been here since the early days boys. The cross kart has turned out so F-ing sick and has probably been my favorite build to follow.

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

Thanks

[@jeeper426]

throw some sand paddles on the rear of the cross kart and she'll hook on the drag race, but she looks like a total blast to run, also you might look into a VW "cylinder head temp" gauge from someone like Napa or advanced auto parts, someone local to you like that, since VW engines are oil/air cooled it might work for you to help keep an eye on the engine temps, also, glad you are okay and nobody was hurt in the accident with the distracted driver, happy holidays to you and Ike and your families and looking forward to more shenanigans in 2020

[@michaellopazanski4162]

I was in this video and didn’t even notice you guys filming! Nice meeting you guys out there hopefully will see cars and cameras out again sometime.

[@aveoxus1139]

On the cross cart you guys should make a few grease fittings for the suspension, she sounds extra creaky. Also glad everyone is ok, an auto body is a lot easier to fix than having recurring neck issues or worse so that's a blessing I'd say. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@sidneymoraes3197]

Good holidays for you and Isaac and everyone watching the video too

[@manchild6258]

Merry Christmas guys have a great Christmas and a very Happy New Years. Wish the Ducati lasted longer but with the love you have planed it might even have more power after the upgrades.

[@Shredxcam22]

Cross kart needs some.decently sized tires. The tiny set up is goofy.

So after watching the cross Kart go around and around I think it needs a rear spoiler. Would look look good. And would be functional.

The cross kart’s reliability is impressive. Looks like it could use some more aggressive treads in the rear and maybe a rounder profile in the front like a quad’s tire. The Ducarti’s acceleration though.........😳

Murray Christmas everybody!

[@KEIFabrication]

Man the rooster ails from the Ducarti were spectacular!

[@DanBuilds]

You guys are really putting out great content. I wonder if the Ducarti would benefit from mufflers like the cross kart did?

[@williamrainbow4115]

the cross cart needs better mufflers because the ones we have now is choking it now

[@riorica1]

The Ducati engine is designed for a 2 into 1 exhaust set up and is pretty sensitive to header length and the such for absolute performance. Maybe they can fit a proper exhaust system on it after they do the desmo service. The Crosskart is doing better with its exhaust, but it's not the best of designs. I guess it boils down to are they having fun as the bottom line. It should be about fun. I've seen them go from very basic bolting a random engine onto a race kart frame and racing each other around the yard, to all of this madness lol. I'm sure down the road that while it might not be these builds, there will be very performance driven builds. It's all about growth.

[@motorcyclemechanic.]

See that's the problem these engines are from the 80s and they're built a specific way if you want to upgrade your shit buy a crashed sport bikes those guys don't know how to ride them and so they readily available

[@riorica1]

@@motorcyclemechanic. I think the ducati is from the 90's. Probably comes off the 900 super sport.

[@kylepilley778]

@@riorica1 IIRC, the engine came out of a 900 monster. Same engine and setup as the supersport, except for the tuning. And that beautiful Italian desmo exhausts each cylinder into its own can, without crossovers, so Ike and John can easily find exhaust options, for those who mentioned it.

You ought to build a shell around the moter on the Ducati whith a air intake scoop so it keep sand out and whatever else may get in there but a one peice fiberglass peice to go over and lock on by pins and a scoop like a funny car style a lil rounded .but god that thing boogies lol anyways till next vid godbless

[@Zzeke]

Really, that is an insane combo. The real genius was in picking that powerplant. They are finicky as we’ve learned. I want to try pods on honda sohc also but everyone kept telling me not to. Really I only want to use them because the airbox is so impossible to take off inside the frame. Yours is definitely tearing it up but I do think it’s running a little rough still. Borrow a synchronizing tool or you can make one. Getting them synchronized is just a whole other level of rip

[@Y2daT420]

I know some carb balancing tricks and also have a kawasaki kz650 . Which can have 750 jugs bolted on from kz or GPz 750 so u guys could have 2 big karts. . And get some foam air filters for the carbs. And oil them to keep the sand out. The breaking up at WOT is fuel starvation. Needs bigger main jets. Or fuel pump. My kz uses a makuni vaccum powered fuel pump. They are simple enough to install. You guys have fun and be safeish.

[@gargantus5]

[@bobwhite5440]

Merry Chistmas! bummer about miata glad you're ok. maybe re--visit 4 carbs on cross cart in future.

[@bumpedhishead636]

I think you guys need some off-road tires that have treads with more bite. What you have is good for combined pavement/dirt and for getting sideways on the dirt, but if you really want it to hook-up, you need something more aggressive.

[@toddb602]

I don't think it could take it. If it had more traction, something would break....
