We Put a 40 HP Unlimited Class Karting Engine in a Yard Kart

The Manco Dingo is our favorite yard kart, and they can be very fast for a go kart with the right modifications. At one time, the Manco Dingo go kart was the fastest vehicle around the CarsandCameras Grand Prix. Since then, we've built and raced motorcycle powered projects with full suspension, and the humble Dingo go kart has been kicked out of the top 10 on the CarsandCameras Grand Prix leaderboard. In this video series, we aim to build the world's fastest yard kart to retake the number one spot on the Grand Prix. We're starting with a Manco Dingo go kart we bought for $160, we're installing a new, wider rear axle, we're installing custom front brakes with aggressive tires for better turn in and braking, and we're swapping in a cast block Tillotson 275cc methanol engine from a top performing oval racing kart.

[@adamorsini4585]

You can't fault Charles for wanting to spend more time with his family and giving his son more time to be with his parents . That yard cart is absolutely insane!

[@theworstgamervr]

That's the trouble all the good KZbin channels getting old they wanna live life freely from KZbin

[@Rattus-Norvegicus]

​@@theworstgamervrThat's not trouble, that's life. It's called growing up.

[@mattgraham1983]

As much as you might think this and many other channels don't realy make any money off of KZbin unless you are hitting 100k views within 24hrs of video been dropped/uploaded... thats why channels sell merc and promote sponsors or have a pay wall... even big channels will have product placement that you don't relise

[@broo_shs]

charlie needs a own channel so we can be tuch oon him also, he is still one of you guys where ever and how long he gonna live in back his childhood town !!!

[@ralphhondaman]

Yeah it's definitely over money. I mean they use to drop 2 vids a week and get 100k or so on them. And now it's down to 1 a week and same views if they are lucky. They said it was to make better vids and better builds but yet they still slap things together.

[@RedneckSwede]

Can't agree more with Charles. Family comes first. Hope we'll see you again in future episodes as a guest. We love you man. Don't forget share the memories with your son. Take care, you legend.

[@TheNewSchmoo]

I wasn't sure about Charles when he first joined but I'll really miss the chap when heads home.

[@jackferguson2491]

Thanks, Charles, for everything you have done here .I hope you will have a great time back with your family. Maybe you can start your own show and continue to show us how to build stuff.

[@richardnoggen1674]

Agree!! Charles and his own channel!! I'd sub in a heart beat!..We'll miss you buddy!

[@user-wl6tr1ud6x]

We will miss u a lot bud but hope for the best

[@zm6658]

THIS

[@pollyg562]

a very very hard thing to come into an established group with a hardcore fan base and not be booed but cheered by all, WELL DONE CHARLES and good luck

[@kevinsellsit5584]

These are the facts, and very well said. If you take the time machine back about 6-8 years to any Cars&Cameras Mayhem event video, you will see Charles not just wearing the Cars&Cameras hat (figuratively speaking), but quite literally doing everything the employee of the month could possibly do and more. All this, 5 years before he actually got the Assistant Vice President/Shop Guru job and applicable paycheck. You Rock Charles! and we wish you the best!

[@RaceGun75]

Sad to see Charles leaving, he became a valuable asset to the team, and he is entertaining to watch. Thanks for the spatter tip.

[@fartingduck5316]

Love how Charles head snaps back when he stands on it, congrats on the adulting Charles. went from low man to honoured Guest, Much success is in your future.

[@charlesdean2002]

Back in the 70's an old farmer taught me to use water on rust . He said and called it Rust welded . A lugged rim was stuck to the assembly on a tractor and I was using a 10 lbs shop hammer trying to loosen it . He noticed I had use WD 40 . He said something about swelling the rust up with the oil , to use water to wet it out . The next time I was in the same predicament I remembered what the old man told me , and was hammering the rim . Hammering dry , I am sure it is stuck . So I mixed up a spray bottle of dish soap 1:3 1 being the soap . And hosed it in the area. Something else I learned in Fire Fighting , soap and water , AKA wet makes the water particles smaller and will get in places better than pure water . I was so surprised because it really worked . Try it next time . And thank Old Farmer Bill for it as I have passed it on to you now .

[@Dan_Kornfeld]

Charles you're an absolute legend! Consider doing a Cars & Cameras, Grand Tour (Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May) edition. Come back for special large projects and/or big adventure rides! Stay awesome! Keep doing what you do 😁👍‼

[@SheddysGaming]

Honestly, most channels who try this cant pull it off. Tavarish and the other, less interesting guys come to mind. But I really feel like this crew has the chemistry.

[@CarsandCameras]

Its not every day you see power wheelies out of a yard kart!

[@bradwellthegreat8297]

Yoooo

[@dentonjamessplace4754]

This thing is wicked 🤯

[@reesemolloy6109]

Yo what happened to the poulan lawnmower?

[@fredgaffney6122]

Amazing right.

[@BSConservativeGOAT]

When was there a single wheelie?

[@dukie1616]

Thought Charles was a bit quiet in this video. Now it all makes sense. I get his reasonings for going, but I really wish he didn’t have to. It’s hard to think of CarsandCamera without Charles. We’re gonna miss you bro. I hope he starts up his own KZbin channel. OK that’s it then, Jhon and Isaac need to get back to their roots and start a from the ground up Kart build.

[@BrianMcCoy-qn4pi]

Honestly, if Charles started a small channel once he got moved and established, I'd watch it. He has a great personality, so completely different content wouldn't even be a big deal.

[@twocvbloke]

The fact Isaac was reluctant to get on that thing just shows how insane it is, the power must have been giving him Honduki flashbacks!!! :P And sad that Charles is cutting back on his role with C&C, but family comes first, especially as he's got his own to raise now... :)

[@jstsayit9434]

I remembered when you first started appearing in the videos Charles and words can’t describe how much you’ve added to the channel since then. I wish u and the family the best!

[@bapasrcadventures3619]

Charles is a hoot and a great asset to this channel he will be missed big time! You are a good father to put your family first. As a grandfather of 11 precious grandchildren I know your parents will be blessed to have their family closer. Good luck in whatever you do in life but most of all spend time with your son. Time goes so fast and you can’t go back.

[@justinmcsweeney9385]

Charles was the best addition the channel could have had, you really grew on me bro. Don't know who I'll miss more, you or Chuck. Best of luck, best wishes, just all the best to you brother. Hoping to see you back on the channel here and there if possible.

[@shk2564]

That thing is a rocket! Can’t wait for the time! Charles will be missed when he’s not around but I totally understand! ❤

[@18wheeler77]

Well damn Charles! I wish you and your family the best in the future! You definitely fitted in with the crew!

[@michaelmain1990]

The fact that lathe is still running on that random electric motor is fantastic

[@marshmellow4198]

You guys should make your own custom solid frame yard kart and see how it compares to the dingo in a race!

[@CarsandCameras]

the yard dart is the closest thing, we want to build a yard dart 2.0 that can accept this engine and send it!

[@DefenderOfVirginity]

@@CarsandCamerasim so excited

[@BSConservativeGOAT]

Thats a lot of hp for a go kart that light. Badass

[@ronwhittaker6317]

power to weight is the formula

[@stevenclevenger3306]

HOLY CRAP... It moves so quick that it looks sped up. Fun to watch such different driving styles between those 2. Full suspension would set that thing on level 11 and possibly save the belt.

[@kevinsellsit5584]

That looks like WICKED fun! I'll miss Charles for sure ... but we'll always see him for Mayhem events. Since my shop melted from the neighbor's tire fire, I only have rusted Snap-On tools with no handles in a charred toolbox, but I am available if you want an old master mechanic on the show.

[@larrydavidson3402]

Going to miss Charles, he is a great guy and knows his stuff when it comes to making things work great. I wish him the best snd I understand his reasoning.

[@BUILDNIGHT]

Oh no!!!!! Charles MAKES this channel!!! It’s never gonna be the same! I thought he was kidding when he said “he’s seriously considering opening a muffler shop!” LOL….

[@darinfrye4252]

Channel was better before he showed up.

[@kyleshultis4246]

Seems your in the minority according to all the comments, always a hater around.

[@NubsWithGuns]

Don't give it a second thought Charles. That boy matters more than all of us combined.

[@zm6658]

No doubt. I vote he starts his own channel

[@Brock_Landers]

Charles best of luck brother. I sincerely hope that your experiences with Jon and Ike take you far bud. Hopefully we'll see you again soon. Take care of your family brother!

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

WOW. Another awesome video of HP ❤️. This Old Man from Washington NC enjoying all your videos 👍. So sad loosing Charles but I understand. Really enjoyed meeting him and his wife at Warren Airport few months ago 🥰. Charles God Bless you and your family 🙏. Love You Guys 🛵🧔💝💝💝

[@dynamite6507]

Holy shit Charles we gonna miss you brother. But family is everything. Your making the right decision. We all love you man

[@MightyRaze]

Good luck Charles! Family means a lot! You'll be missed. Always loved the one-liners!

[@joetheagent]

I wish you all the best Charles! Making decisions for your family that puts their needs first can be tough...and a sign you are a real man. I'll miss your voice and your laugh and your dad jokes... and Chuck... really gonna miss Chuck. Hope to see you around here again at some point! Thank you for the laughs!

[@gargantus5]

Hate to see Charles go BUT Agreed 100 Percent Family First! That Yard Cart is NASTY Would love to see 0-60 on it :D

[@tkskagen]

With the addition of Charles, it is amazing to see how far y'all have come from working in John's parents' garage not long ago. I have been subscribed since the days of the HOT ROD Riding Lawnmower (that Issac flipped) and I have NEVER been disappointed with an episode! Great idea to add a "Scatter Guard" from Charles, for safety...

[@lamarzimmermanmennonitefar5269]

I had to go back and look, I've been watching 9 years now, since the ratrod wagon and the cheap minibike mods video! Wow, that's too long!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

@@lamarzimmermanmennonitefar5269 Holy crap...It's been 9 Years since then?? Wow, and Yikes ! I didn't realize it's been that long either. Wow.

[@superpoof]

Charles. You will be missed. I hope your new endeavor turns out as you hope and expect. You deserve all the good things you hope for. You have given my wife and I many hours of entertainment. And for that, I salute you sir.

[@wallacengineering8096]

Thats a real bummer that Charles is leaving but you certainly can't blame him for wanting to be closer to family. Best of luck to you man, I hope we get to see you around once in a while!

[@newsferd1638]

You guys don't disappoint! Spouse in hospital with broken leg last night and didn't get much sleep. Feeling pretty bummed, but this made my morning! Thank you.

[@donanything6816]

Sorry to see you go. Please drop in as often as you can. Respect to you for family time, you and your son will be glad it was spent together. Enjoy the time, gather the memories and hold them tight. One day you will treasure them. Best regards.

[@waynerowlinson6177]

I'll miss seeing Charles on the channel all the time, but will look forward to the (hopefully) one off episodes from time to time. I loved the channel when it was the "Ike and John" (or is it "John and Ike) show and will again, but you will be missed greatly, Charles.

[@zacharybullock9266]

Love seeing Charles work with you guys I'm gonna miss seeing him on the channel hopefully he stops in and helps with builds every once in a while

[@ScottandEmilyStewart]

Charles was such an added element to your channel, I will miss seeing him each and every week, including his humor. I hope there’s a time you will make a return.

[@shannonrickman7620]

If I could give it 2 thumbs up I would. Still one of my favorite channels. Hate to hear about Charles leaving,wish him all the best.

[@jz7346]

With Charles leaving it reminds me of when I started watching you guys ,tearing up John’s dad’s grass and leaving burnout marks in the drive way , family comes first can’t wait to see him in the future

[@psclarke84]

Charles, you'll be missed greatly, but I have no doubt the future is bright for you and your family 🙏

[@patrickhartman6818]

In the times we are living in today, I think it is best to be around family. Charles just drop a video once in a while we know this hobby is in your blood and you won't stop creating. God bless you and your family.

[@lovett1200]

Hate to see Charles leave...he added a lot to the channel...good luck to him.

[@timramaker6012]

Can't imagine life without the 3 amigos. What a Crew.😢

[@jeeper426]

no shame charles, thanks for hanging out with us here on youtube and being part of the crew, Family comes first, all else secondary, also that yard kart is Stupid Fast! i'd be interested to see how it stacks up next to a VW Powered Sand Rail if you could lay your hands on one

[@ManiacRacing]

If more is better, then too much is just enough. Turbocharge that sucker too! And good job finally having your welder set closer to correct! This might be the first time I have seen you weld without cringing! Yay! Keep up the improvements! That turbo setup will need good welding!!

[@CarsandCameras]

Hahaha, perfect saying for this project

[@ManiacRacing]

Make a good sticker too...send me a freebie if you use it. Lol!@@CarsandCameras

[@jeffman3]

It was great to have you with us for a while, Charles. We are all wishing you nothing but the best in your future endeavors. I'm sure I speak for more than a few of us when I say we are looking forward to whatever you get up to next. Best of luck!

[@TuttleScott]

After wrestling with a wheel stuck on a riding mower axle I always put never seize on them now. Future me has said thanks a couple times since then.

[@pollyg562]

we have seen the guys do similar yet at 42m it wasn't long enough each build has enough differences to keep me totally entertained

[@wildcard5555]

Good luck, Charles! gonna miss your awesome work! Hope you check in with these guys occasionally.

[@3generation_racing658]

Holy moly that’s the sickest yard kart in existence. always love the dingo! looks like a blast fellas just be safe! Very upset charles is leaving definitely a key part to such a great team and youtube channel but i respect that your doing it for your family. Keep building guys and be safe!

[@ryanperry9472]

Awwwwww man! I absolutely LOVE Charles! He was such a great addition to your content! I totally get it, family comes first, and he is making the best choice for him. Charles, you will be missed for sure! Your awesome super friendly attitude can't be bought! That is something you were born with. I wish you the best in your life. Please make sure to come back on when you can. BTW, this yard kart is just silly! The roll cage needs some reinforcement though lol.

[@daqq]

Would love to see an all-electric build! Electric motors have gotten insane over the past decade!

[@Ratkill9000]

They had one YEARS ago where they used an automotive starter as the motor. Think you have to go back in the videos about between 5 and 8 years now

[@daqq]

​@@Ratkill9000Brushless motors and especially batteries have come so far since then!

[@trahar6257]

Grind hard just did a shifter kart with a crazy electric setup that rips

[@ervingoertzen7233]

You guys are on my bucket list to stop in one day just to meet , tour your achievements in the shop . I have watched you since being a subscriber from your first days, even watching your C10 build . Still like to hear about it ! Great videos John Ike and Charles !

I don't think anyone is going to say, "Those Tillotsons are slow, you really should put a motorcycle engine in it" anymore lol

[@peterherrington3300]

Reliable chain drive , built in gearbox , no belts breaking & cheap to buy . Miles better than tillotson. No methanol nonsense either .

[@towpro78]

You can also smoke the axle, with the acetylene only on from your torches run it across the area you want to protect. I learned that welding close to hydraulic cylinder shafts

[@LaylaTheShtBox30]

I have a Manco Dingo that we got many years ago and its genuinely a fantastic cart, ran over a few friends (racing accidents) with it and spent a lot of time sideways even on the asphalt, think i may need to put one of these motors in it hahahaha. Love your content guys!!

[@zm6658]

Just found you guys and Charles is my favorite presenter, really sorry to hear he’s leaving. It takes a real man to know when to make a move like that for family. All the best and we’ll all be here when you get back.

Awesome kart! I do hate to hear Charles won't be around as much. Good luck Chuck!

[@mikeanderson2730]

Really sad to see Charles go, but for all the right reasons, so in of course i´m happy for him. Dont know if the guys could top this cart horsepower wise, but some how i´m pretty sure they will try. And thats why i love this channel..

[@wogelkrafts]

I'll be honest, at some point I slightly lost intrest in the channel for a while due to the builds around the "225cc" engines only becourse of personal preference ofcourse to their limits, but now I feel like taking all that back, this is just mental, we're talking production supermoto horsepower in the 450 class, this just puts the biggest smile on my face! 😂😂❤
