[@jaredsummers9092]

I wonder if they got the live axle stuff from go power sports

[@unrealgaming-dj8iz]

They did

[@neatjunk2337]

Heg

[@mns_hyper3600]

I could only wonder

[@jaksonpritt5920]

They keep saying it to promote them for advertisement obviously they must have got the parts cheap or even free that's why they keep saying it??give them a break, they having a laugh, is that a crime. If you don't like it then stop watching it, give the fellas a break for fuck sake fucking haters so negative. Like a said dont like, don't watch

[@jaksonpritt5920]

What's the type of welder that there using called is it mig or tig?? Answers plz....ps be nice haters, get in my tits nothing nice to say keep it to your self,s I agree with freedom of speech but tell people who give a fuck why watch it if all your going to do is bitch and moan ??, a don't get some folk all negative, life's to short

[@MRomisher]

The best part about this video is when you guys are testing out the kart for the first time. The smiles on your faces are priceless. Heck I wanna build up a go-kart myself now just to have that much fun!

[@ethanbean5479]

It was a 1 tire fryer now it's a 2 wheeler squealer

[@scottcol23]

I love going back and re watching these old videos. Lol

[@robinforbes3852]

I totally enjoyed your video. I just got done with my grandsons go cart. I put a larger engine in it, replaced two wheels and painted it with a bumble bee paint scheme and installed some seat belts and a roll cage. He is 7, been driving one since he was 3 and he is totally crazy with the thing. He should ride safer now anyways...I am a grandmother pimpin' the boys ride. ha ha

what keeps axle from moving side to side? is it the axle bearing holders or is there a collar that bolts on?

[@CarsandCameras]

Dominic Gordon Yes there's a disc brake kit. We installed it yesterday. There should be a link in the description to it in this video.

[@jp9720]

Hi, I think it sound stupid but is it possible to build a go kart without experience with engines? It is my dream to build one myself,when I was 6 years old I went everyday to a go kart racing track. Now I'm 15 and don't want to dream about it anymore...I'll build my own one.

[@jp9720]

Sounds*

[@jp9720]

Or do you sell one of your karts? :)

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

+Jason-Duke Prygodda go for it

[@static_bolt]

+Jason-Duke Prygodda hey dude I'm 15 too and I built my go kart a week ago and I only spent 100$ on an engine and got the frame form my friend, I say go for it. p.s. look for a frame at yard sales, I just got a new frame yesterday for 30$

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

sweet

[@timquigg6835]

at 14.40 u say the wheel will b out hear? are u only tight the axle nut against the locking collar on the other side of wheel or did you find some spacer to fill gap between the 3/4 cut down to the 1 inch axle shaft i fear the wheels may come loose some day if you are only trusting the locking ring.

[@timquigg6835]

maybe the locking ring is 3/4 and hooks on the edge of the 1 inch then i could see this being able to tighten the axle nut

[@zachdidthis]

Which is faster? A one wheel drive or live axel (2 wheel drive)

[@Crazy_chieftain]

Live axel

[@tractorguysgarage7057]

The live axel can deliver more power to the ground.

[@5353iceman]

One wheel drive wastes energy and eats your tire up.

[@nathanantilla5713]

They both have the same top speed, but the live axle can get up to that speed quicker because it has twice as many wheels being driven, giving it twice as much traction, allowing it to pull twice as hard before it starts spinning tires.

[@wjmike2200]

Nathan Antilla that's a mouthful lol

[@charliespencer4875]

I just want to know what tire size and width of wheel you went with on the slicks. I have about the same cart old carter one tire fryer with roll cage.

[@worthfirth]

I remember when this video came out when I was 12, wanting to build a go kart so bad. Here we are years later and I finally got a manco dingo 286 and I’m happy I’m back watching this video re learning how to put go karts together

[@woodbillj]

I'm crying from laughing at Ike's test run

[@moza1956]

What welder could I buy to weld these on? Ima practice before hand but would like to learn

[@jcthelegend8882]

420 blaze it breh

[@Ferrinflame]

I've only just recently stumbled on your channel as a recommended video but immediately got the feeling you're the type of laid-back guys that it'd be fun to just sit in lawn chairs with some cold beers and shoot the shit for an afternoon. The lawn chairs would probably be attached to a kart, of course.

[@stroudcook9647]

Make a twin engined kart

[@miketv151]

Can you put the sprocket more on the middle of the axle same with the break?

[@modelrc9500]

Soothing to know if your tire popped you'd be "driving"'on your gear

[@williamcummings6562]

That was fun to watch times like that are precious .

[@willtrautman6243]

You'd be better off buying a live axle go kart from Craigslist

[@AuDiOJEFF]

Ever thought of making a track set up for the rear tires.

[@Hurtydwarf]

So much 420 in this video. So much blazing.

[@ItsMe-yo7xe]

[@LOG8N22]

[@sarahcoogan7322]

.

[@jairolira6747]

Do you think it would be a good idea to weld on the collar instead cause the bolt that holds it broke

[@beechermudmowers5397]

gps is too expensive... bmi carts for me lol

[@ayp1938]

Same

[@HoneyBadger_DIY]

At the beginning of the video you talked about lowering the kart. So would you just weld the bracket for the live axle on top of the frame instead of on the back?

[@T3flonPro]

420 CHAIN

[@joeyheider9468]

for doing DIY, would using a few pillow block bearings and a 3/4'' - 1'' axle work

[@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes]

LOL- OMG! NEVER EVER weld with the ground going THRU the bearings....... you can make little pits in the balls and the races by what you did in your video....... you have your ground clamp on the bearing outer housing, and youre welding the FRAME of the go kart..... ground should be on the frame!!!! We'll see how long them bearings last now?

[@Chubsandsubs]

Where exactly are you getting this information? I weld around bearings everyday at my work

[@isaacjennette9782]

+Eclidean we were not welding threw the bearings we were near them though. if i did then oopps. welding threw the bearing can cause pitting. hopefully it'll be fine

[@BigMuddyCountry]

+Isaac Jennette It'll be fine.

[@TheKurtTribute]

Incorrect. Unless you had a bad ground connection and it arced across the bearing, there is no way you would get arc strikes

[@billwatson5828]

Isaac Jennette I know that you can answer this for me. What size sprocket and what size clutch do you need to pull a overweight adult on a kart with a 5.5 Briggs. What I have now definitely is not what I Need because it hardly pulls me from a dead stop. Thanks for your help.

[@internallycombusted1]

hey guys, I was wondering where do you get your parts from? you never seem to mention that

[@tylertarlton7739]

haha i put a 6.5 212 cc on my 1952 taco bike and took the gov off of it now that shit pushes ha and pops wheelies

[@isaacjennette9782]

oh on ebay they are like $120 plus the chain and clutch equating to $177.

[@isaacjennette9782]

thats not bad.

[@DarkSharkssm]

yea its pretty cool. Next you guys should make a drift trike or go kart with a duromax engine on it! Those things have like 20 ft/lbs of torque and i think 15hp!

FIRST COMMENT!!!!!!!

[@FXRPIONEER]

Fun to see you guys having a blast on that thing!

[@angelsone-five7912]

I have just been having a Google and IF Amazon had any in stock a Predator 212 would be $600 PLUS tax. You boys got it made.

[@kipster-ll6po]

Thank-you for this video! It is something I have always dreamed of doing, but have never done. I am curious: Would it have been possible to center the engine in the middle, for better side-to-side weight distribution? I would really love to see this done using a dirt bike engine. For me, the most interesting part of that would be seeing how you would engineer the the gear shift linkage for the manual transmission.

[@zanethompson2788]

Yes, you can put the engine in the center, you'll just center up the sprocket along the axle.

[@angelicacrystalmorales8942]

How can I add a rear axle to a go cart frame without welding , I have a frame but no axle so my son if wanting to build it but we don't know where to start

[@swigyyswag4284]

That go-kart, when it's done, will make me dank.

[@tooljockey2777]

I looked everywhere and I just could not figure out where you got those parts from! could you help me out?

[@theesavior3438]

I never thought about go carts but because u guys seems like great people I will be starting to buy and look for a go cart frame than buy a predator 212 and the rest of the supplies as well thanks guys !!

[@parkerwolpe4029]

What is the length from the outside of each tire? Would that kit fit a two seater cart?

[@charlieslattery5443]

Can you put the bearings and brackets any distance apart? Or would I have to modify my kart

[@i2aspire]

have you thought about putting a turbo an one of your go carts, I would like to see the whole build of it if you do.

[@connerjohnson5886]

@CarsandCameras i love that yall are relatively close

[@jeepcollector91]

Alright, that does it. I have got to get my old go kart out of storage. Been sitting on a shelf in the shed at my parents house since the 90's. Mine is a two seater with a live axle and a 5hp B&S. The engine and driver are both on the left so it turns left great but flips easy on hard right turns.

[@isaacjennette9782]

+JeepCollector91 thats what mine would do

[@jeepcollector91]

Finally brought my old go-kart home to Winterville last weekend. Surprisingly the old tires and tubes will still hold air. Couldn't remember what brand my kart was but the sticker with the model and serial number was still under the seat. It was made by KARTCO Inc. Time to terrorize the neighborhood.

[@isaacjennette9782]

it,ll be fine

[@56_mini55]

Rewarching this, I realize I have the exact same brake from my old kart I learned on, Kudos!

I was wondering can i bolt on a pillow block instead? I don't have a wielder so that's the option I have. Also what measurement is that axle?

So I have a Baja doodlebug and I'm doing a predator swap really soon, and I was wondering how did you guys set up your throttle cable on your mini bike ?

[@Onemattressatatime]

The selfie stick action great

[@Slowboi335xi]

ok so would it be cheaper to buy the kit or just buy all the parts for the live axle also what would u need for a live axle (i know that u need a axle also like a pillow block mounted bearing and the sprocket) but what else

[@jonathanerickson2007]

Lot of fun on the go-cart

[@overtimegaming1752]

Are y'all going to be at the car show in North Carolina this weekend

[@trymeofficial276]

How should i make sure my mounting brackets are straight and square when i go to weld them on?

[@mariogutierrez2965]

probably measure against something like a wall or measure from the center of the kart if possible

[@ryanfortin9166]

What size are those rear tires and how many teeth to the clutch and sprocket have?

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

+Ryan Fortin not sure but its going to be different because its a 420 chain and sprockets

[@stephentroyer3831]

You guys need a stick mount that clamps onto the go carts to hook up your camera for a view of the driver/past the driver. No need to risk your heads for the cool angles.

[@LogicNstuff]

28:05 THAT!... THAT is the face of happiness.

[@tylerspencer6534]

can you guys make a video on how you hooked up the throttle to the motor

[@DangerDavefpv]

where is your shop? im in north carolina but i have an old manco style gocart one seater... my sons axle is bent and it needs rebent or new axle idk yet. he has the old c band brake drum like yours and would like to upgrade to better brakes due to his smoking some times when riding hard and fast. what should i do?
