[@caroflage6260]

can I just say: Changing you upload shedule to once a week made your videos a thousand times better. Having a project in one big video instead of 5 small ones just makes them so awesome to watch, and the quality is better than ever. I started building my own karts because of you, keep it going guys :)

[@theLyzhendricks]

😂😂😂 ur joking right

[@coyoteden3773]

​@theLyzhendricks why?

[@big_rockstar]

I used to watch both videos every week..... This is the first video I have clicked on in MONTHS & I watched like 2 mins of it.....

[@theLyzhendricks]

@coyoteden3773 because the carts they have made in the past are the same quality as the one made in this vid but we used to get vids with them twice a week now we get 1 it's just all around worse

[@edmawhinney3564]

I enjoy the longer videos and knowing that a 1 video a week is less stressful for you all makes them all the better

[@RattleCanCustoms]

This was the MOST FUN we’ve ever had on a build! Thanks for having us fellas and Merry Christmas!

[@CarsandCameras]

Legendary week. Can’t wait to upgrade it to make it even quicker!

[@user-df5sz1dp9v]

You should try to put the Honda 919 street bike engine in it.

Marry Christmas yall

pin Your comments , as soon as i see this pinned i will remove my ccomment here , , , just a reminder btw .

[@edellenburg78]

I hope this is the one that gets a engine management system, fuel injection, and turbo's

[@donaldpowers3314]

Thanks for this build. I have a frame one that is so close to this build . I've had it maybe, 10 years it had a 90s 350 Honda hung on the back. It was so over built. Each end of the suspension had 4 adjusters for alignment. A chain driven differential. Open. Was thinking about having you making me and offer on at least 12 projects I'll never get to 2 Alport RTS 340s 2 Honda SXs and oddesy not sure of the model. A frame of a ranger 8 it would make a great retriever.

[@KJRaycing]

YES!!! What an awesome week with awesome guys to build an awesome machine!

[@FukTheGovernment465]

Keep up the good work man!👍

[@Garlands_Fabrication]

It's a cool machine been following your channel for awhile. How is that seat it looks like it comfortable?

[@davecarnevale8017]

@@Garlands_Fabrication It's supportive and comfortable; not cheap but worth every penny

[@brianswelding]

It's been an amazing journey watching your channel from the very beginning! By the way, what is your consulting fee to come down and help me with my build? 😉

[@scottjohnson7263]

We came as KZbinrs and left as friends. This was such a blast to do. Thank you John Isaac and Charles for hosting. Can’t wait to see how this kart finishes up! Oh yeah, can I use that welder? lol

Just wanted to say that wheel barrel ride was something crazy. Takes a real man to saddle up on that👏🏼👏🏼

No problem man🫡 I just know sketchy when I see sketchy lmao. I imagine you feel like you're on a hellcat powered chariot😂

[@extremercs3307]

Hey guys, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all the work y’all put into making these videos. I have been watching you guys so long that I remember OG cars and cameras videos in the garage. A+ for y’all.

[@Keegandimitri]

Same only ogs remembered the old garage at the old house

[@masonkauffman4042]

Yes the chickens where definitely main characters

[@MrThunderCunt]

I grew up watching OG cars and cameras scince i was 10(now 17), my first video being amphibios gokart(the first attempt). I miss the garage, my favortie episodes are when theyre back on Johns parents property, just makes the vibe right.

[@FukTheGovernment465]

Shout out to Kyle at KJ Racing the guy is really making these badass machines affordable to a bigger group of people. Long live the Cross kart craze!🤙

Dude you are so awesome, thank you so much!!!!

Watching this video has reminded me of why I like Cars and Cameras, John, Ike, and Charles so much. They are genuinely friendly folk, with fun and wholesome content. You guys never fail to bring a smile when I watch your videos. This collaboration is excellent and certainly does not disappoint. I love the collabs you guys have done, and would like to see more.

[@ryanschanfish279]

Been watching since Rat Rod Wagon. This is truly a special episode. Love seeing the course all tore up and defined. Certified RIPPER
