We're Building a 5 Speed Racing Kart! (16HP)

[@guytypeperson]

Your plasma cutter needs a filter-drier on its air line. Moist air will turn to steam in the arc and make it pop and spit.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Mike Jones That’s crap then, mine came with it already installed.

[@projectinmotion2425]

Mike Jones just get the water out of the compressor

[@MyLonewolf25]

Or too high of pressure

[@ralphmenta249]

Project - Condensation perpetually builds up. Even if u drain it, there will ALWAYS be buildup. Mike Jones was correct, if u dont have one, u NEED one. U might get away with not using one a few times but when that condensation hits, u can blow off the tip or entire nozzle.

[@johnmbranham69]

i know this is old vid, but does the cfm on the compressor out run the cfm you need for the plasma? i learned, my pancake compressor was NOT enough

[@Revdonlee74]

On this build, could Issac please do a tutorial on basic wiring please? How to move the electric starts, what wires what on motors like these, and how to run batteries and lights and such? I've seen all yer vids and yas always say, "Ike's gonna wire it up.", and boom, they're wired up. Thanks guys.

[@hewfil1]

Now that you're building one, there should be a race between RedBeard'sGarage, BoostedBois, and you guys, all with your shifter karts.

[@noahhill6434]

Don't forget grind hard plumbing co

[@noahhill6434]

@Cameron Keillor someone always has to gap the rest or it wouldn't even be interesting 😂 winning is winning whether it's by an inch or a mile

[@derrickreddick2458]

love your videos and so does my daughter every time I watch one she asks if it's ike don't know why but she thinks he's the best she is 3 it's awesome walked inside to see she has stolen my phone and was watching the dragster build on the dyno keep it up guys

[@dream2sea]

Derrick Reddick Adorable!!

[@habdman]

Buy her a shifter.

[@CarsandCameras]

"Only" 16HP, but it should be very quick!

[@훈-g5g]

CarsandCameras 굿gooooooooood

[@KRYNK]

Ur mum gay lol

[@hipotop]

250cc 2-stroke next time.

[@jeff3627]

16hp is plenty enough i think maybe 20 hp would be crazy

[@macmclemore6724]

Not "next time"... 2 Stroke EVERY TIME. Braaaaap...!!!

[@darc2255]

15:00 its a paint ratio stick. Use it to measure your ratios of paint/hardener and thinners. Still use these quite often

[@1D10CRACY]

I have a cheap lotos plasma cutter, have actually had good luck with it over the years and it came with a regulator.

[@USN_Ret-]

I have one, too. They have the air pressure to hi.

[@shynsly01]

Yup, I've been beating up my Lotos 520D, which does plasma, tig, and stick for about a year and a half and have no real complaints.

[@richgallegos5807]

shynsly01, is that an AC/DC tig, or just DC?

[@ttali211]

I put one of those 200cc motors on my racing mower. I used the lever that raises the blades up and down as my shifter.. instead of using a clutch pedal I used a handlebar lever. So I pull the clutch in with my hand and shift it forward/backwards as I’m banging them gears!! Love the vids!!

[@Doggomanjaro]

That door transition tho 👌

[@baileymassey998]

Not gunna lie it tripped me out a bit. So good

[@bwxmoto]

That rooster probably thinks your a big competitive rooster in the yard with those huge red ear muffs on.

[@tylertoptier2353]

I'm crying 🤣🤣🤣

[@gregv1852]

Yeh lol

[@sadcrab_5349]

16hp on a kart like that with a 5 speed will rip like no other

[@PedroHenrique-ih1fl]

oh yea, because shifter karts with 50+hp's and 6-speed don't exist lmao

[@Casper061288]

It does, I hit 90kmh with mine and could still go faster xD

[@Antonio4240]

Unless u talking about the Ducati one sitting in the corner of the garage lol

[@paxtonkeshemberg3869]

Or any other pro shifter kart

[@smallenginedude71]

I’m building a kart atm with a Kawasaki ninja 250 engine. 36hp and a weight of 90kg so far.

[@tstone450]

This is going to be a killer cart! Side note for John. I feel like you could have a killer beard dude. Let's see it!!

[@wesleyholbert6531]

Put the chicken on it, call it the the AMERICAN EGGSPRESS

[@kadenlarson9992]

you are the transition king

[@raymondspencer1524]

madz bush thought i was the only one who noticed.

[@Alysavos-rd4tp]

god damn so true

[@yellow5n]

it broke my brain for a second

[@GogogoFolowMe]

10:58 MIND BLOWN

[@chevelle65wgn]

That’s why I like my anti seize on the nuts and bolts. I live close to the ocean and steel tends to rust quickly.

[@jhawk1985]

Here comes the rooster !!!! My dad had one when i was a teen and that bird viscous lol

[@Koshunae]

I had to stop the video to comment on how slick that door opening transition was at 10:55. Holy cow good stuff.

[@playinwithfirecustoms7954]

The Crusher Camaro of Cars and Cameras...I love it!!!

[@jasonpetrich4141]

Oh boy get ready for some real fun, you guys are really moving now with content, can't wait for some real ike & John racing head to head this is awesome you guys are doing great!!

[@cabletiesfixeverything686]

The stick is a measurement tool for paint

[@FireAndGasoline]

Cable ties Fix everything, thats exactly what that is. They arent really used much anymore, now the mixing cups have marking right on them.

[@cabletiesfixeverything686]

FireAndGasoline yeah pretty much

[@LouSpowells]

From a time when things weren't all disposable, lol.

[@Rantz2040]

I was checking comments before I made this same comment

[@roblucas2376]

Yes That's what it is~It is made by "Sickens" for their line of paint~I had one in 1993 when I was "Renegade Truck Conversions" just south of Chicago~I love watching Ike & John~I just discoverd you guys this morning and watched 7 videos~I subscribed and am looking forward to a lot of great videos~Thanks guys keep up the good work

[@shawnkiller90]

+CarsandCameras That "stick" is the OG way of measuring out paint mixes(different paints to achieve specific colors+thinners etc) for Air guns. Now a days the marking are just on the side of the "mixing cups" to simplify and save time.

[@johnshanahan7359]

shawnkiller90 finally someone else knew

[@shawnkiller90]

XD what can I say ..it is something I have used personally, and when I saw it being used as apart of the cart I was just like WOW......cause you can't find them often times in "modern" pain shops(at least where I live)

[@DracolegacyOfficial]

that transition tho, damn dude, gettin smooth as fuck.

[@Amy-wh3dt]

go ahead keep making that noise so now i know where your at lol

[@desmondmoonbear4143]

I have a rooster too We have a "special connection" as well A special connection with my foot if he gets to close! 😂

[@calvindirkmaat]

10:58 That was the coolest scene change ive ever seen

[@griffgoesfishing3357]

Love it the purple cart is back

[@benjaminduchow9470]

Nothing like a good old go kart build!

[@heavyduty1001]

Skrew it, let's do it! Nice one liner man.. should be on a t-shirt, and I want a free one when you make them😎

[@sethpeterson6956]

Umm... Why is this not trending on KZbin?

[@bmanjohnson51]

Lol you got me with that transition scene with the door!! 👌🏻😅

[@zacski5974]

YAAAAAAYYYYYYY ITS ABOUT TIME!!!!!! IM SO EXCITED!

[@carpediem9285]

Great build choice, can't wait to see it running. keep up the good work. Definitely my favorite cart channel.

[@nathangek]

That transition at 10:58 really tripped me out haha

[@ryancompton3696]

2:39, THAT SHOULD BE THE NEW CARS AND CAMERAS MOTTO

[@johnmagnusrobertson2995]

Screw it, let’s do ut

[@muddyboy0636]

That purple is mint

[@davidmartens7253]

That cut in the plate y’all made is called a bevel. Sweet videos!

[@Toolingabout]

Loved the crusher Comaro reference

[@AgentWest]

That strange looking ruler is for mixing paint and other stuff that has a mixing ratio. Let's say it's 2:1, so you put it in a container and find a scale that is marked as 2:1. Then you pour in the first chemical to a line (let's say it's "3") and pour the next thing up to the line to the right marked "3". Looks like the one you have is a 100:50:40 (30?) Sikkens made for their primer with scales being primer:hardener:reducer respectively. As for the plasma cutter, as others have mentioned a moisture trap is a must. On top of that the torch that usually comes with those is really tiny and is perfect for sheet metal and not much else. You an get a bigger torch for about $50 and that would make a world of difference. Make sure you get some guide wheels or at least one of those guide frames for the torch as well because the tip should not touch the surface while cutting. There are torches where you can just drag it on the surface, but they are more expensive.

[@peterhughes8934]

I love how so much of your stuff is now metalflake green. When does the strip open for the season? I love the Rail Kart. Cool project for the meantime though, should be a riot.

[@bobkeller8383]

Man you boys need a 2x72 belt grinder for fab work

[@TheBaccaClench]

That's some quality transition at 10:57

[@brandonlc86]

Nice Crusher Camaro reference!

[@vicd7984]

That disk brake is mint. keep up the great work i love watching you guys

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Pretty cool project! I am surprised you didn't straighten the axle on that press. Future jackshaft material.

[@mopedmessiah]

Always loved Lifan! Got a Lifan 150 in my moped right now....and this thing is a monster! This has got to be possibly my favorite project of yours, besides the Ducati and the Black Widow

[@ise_cube6658]

i love the sound of the welder

[@BakedPrawns]

Love your channel but was getting really bored of the usual predator and torque converter stuff. Love that you’re diversifying!

[@jarrhead3538]

How about shifter and torque converter? That’s what I am doing on my racing mower

[@matthewm3965]

I'm so glad that you guys are going back to the old go karts I miss the go kart videos!!!!!!!

[@Jakefrc]

Man this thing is going to be faster than the drag kart!

[@AdamsWorld84]

Haha! I love your rooster!!! I had a bantam japanese rooster who would attack me any chance he got, and one day i tripped over and he jumped on me and bit my lip and after that i'm always more cautious around them too! Love this new 5 speed build!! keep up the awesome work guys love every video

[@aldolopez9077]

Ricky Bobby and Cal Naughton Jr. At their shenanigans once again. Shake and bake boys...shake. and bake.

[@skimboards4life865]

Love the roadkill reference

[@cl5221]

Holy shit! That transition was so amazing.

[@franklindeesullivan]

Love the roadkill reference!!

[@jdalzell3354]

damn stoked for this, the purple looks so good too. Steering wheel reminds me of the 80's turbo F1 cars too.

[@articat568]

Yessssssss been asking for something like this too! Always find a way to make me happy about the build

[@articat568]

Ps ace hardware has a huge hill man selection.. and all you've gotta do is hand an employee the bolt and they'll pick it out of the crowd

[@MrMno44]

Got your back

[@joshuamitch22]

16hp doesn't sound like that much but in a go kart that's a lot. Can't wait to see this thing fly.

[@Burntrice747]

Its about time you guys are building a 5 speed kart!!!

[@javiergarza6531]

That lawmower is still my favorite build yet. Hope you all get it running soon

[@njyt9261]

Good engineering skills dude impressed

[@Maine3rdEyesOnly]

Made my day i had plan to build a shifter car type deal

[@kylesimmons2631]

King Maine type deal

[@davidchapman9957]

These guys living the dream!!build shit and test ride it all day?hell yea,sign me up!

[@MessiHair]

Can't wait to see the kart finished up! Also this is the only thing you'll be banging gears in since what happened with your miata lml sorry :P

[@reyrey1640]

Can y’all do diesel go karts?

[@bricekilpatrickbk]

Rey Rey only if you unsubscribe from Logan paul

[@Zark-Muckerberg]

Diesel engines are too expensive...

[@reyrey1640]

KnightMight dude enough about that. That was a month ago. FORGET IT!

[@ralphmenta249]

The problem with diesels and power sports is the rev range. Yes diesels have gobs of torque, but very limited range of speed. Not responsive enough

[@herbmoran]

I’m so glad the 9 reasons kart is back I look forward to my notification that either of you has added a video. I’m in the middle of an older coyote bullet kart build thanks to this kart and I can’t wait to finish it! This is just the push I need to move faster keep up the good work!!!

[@0lbluec10]

Just found your guys channel about 2 weeks ago im catching up....absolutely love everything you guys are doing...keep it..cause it will be fine lol

[@josepherickson7618]

Super awesome video👍👍👍👍👍 going to be a sweet build can't wait to see it in action

[@stilldking]

Nice RoadKill reference!

[@Storyracing387]

LOVE the Roadkill reference at the end lmao!

[@Redrider546]

the transition at 10:56 got me double taking

[@lucaleo4786]

"Its always something I've wanted to do, bang through the gears, in my go kart" making dreams a reality... love that bro keep it up!

[@jaywalker2213]

Damn your friend does GREAT work...

[@georgegarner6905]

In 1983 put a 125 Suzuki RM dirt bike motor on my bob cat go cart. Ran it on a private track open series. It was awesome. On the quarter mile it ran 107 mph. I tried my 250 Yamaha yz on it but I couldn't get the front end to stay down on turns and blew the aluminium rims off the drive axle.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

If it were me, I would reinforce those flanges at the ends of the frame up front, where the spindles attach. Can't wait to see how this one turns out! :)

[@pathaze4299]

I've always wanted to take a golf cart, lower it and put either a Harley Davidson VTwin in it or a YZ450F engine in. It would be so cool. Maybe one day y'all should try that. It would rip.

[@jakestech28]

Pat Hayes Harley engines are a waste if time. They make so little power they don't advertise how much they make.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Jake Tow 5-8yrs ago I saw some published numbers for hp and 1/4 mi times and whatnot. Lol a lot of them were rated peak hp at 3600, and like 65-75hp maybe, and about the same torque. They might rev 6k at the most usually stock. There wasn’t anything on the list that broke into the 13s, maybe one but I forgot. It was mostly 15s and a few in the 14s in the 1/4. Me and my pops have a nickname for em: wheelbarrow. See one riding down the road: hey look there goes a wheelbarrow!!

[@sykwookiee]

Pat Hayes hey man...I ride a Harley and I gotta say that there are much faster and more powerful engines out there....but that SOUND! And the simple fact that second gear uphill will put a smile on your girlfriends face that Ajax won't take off! If you're after speed, use a Kaw 1100 from the 70s...if you're after style, go with Harley...on a golf cart, ANYTHING is gonna be badass...make videos...I actually can't wait to see It...don't let the Harley haters sway your decision...l8ah ďà wòöķįęè

[@jakestech28]

Don't get me wrong, they are fantastic for torque. But something of that engine size should make more. But it's all part of the loud push-rod heritage that has made them so popular.

[@noahrodeghiero9640]

Cant wait for some more racing!

[@stephensmith1779]

They are paint mixing sticks. Older basecoat clear coat and hardener ratios. Great cart build.

[@2fxst2drxft]

A buddy of mine made a 175cc air cooled shifter kart with a 6 speed. Pretty cool you guys managed to get more cc.

[@bigmoesprojects4693]

Bigger better engines on go carts designed for 6.5 hp. loving it!

[@thewraith1977]

You guys need a little intro vid for your channel. Great content!

[@trav_thesav_]

Hope to see you guys hit 500k subs this year. I’ve been subbed since 2014 I believe when you guys did the radio flyer rat rod

[@jonathangottschalk7795]

The purple is awesome

[@mof4104]

Love this idea, wanna put this engine/trans on my street legal mb200, thanks for the video

[@cedargroveslimgaming5171]

Roosters got Ike shook 😂😂😂😂

[@meco72104]

That's going to be Awesome!

[@bobsmoot8454]

Go karts are a total blast

[@guitarnut06]

I saw a video about putting automatic transmission fluid on faded paint to give it a nice shine. Shouldn't leave much of an oily residue either. You should try it on that royal purple paint.

[@andychrystal690]

Lol when you were like keep making that noise to the rooster and he’s pecking the ground, that rooster literally talking shit to you

[@aaroncole4170]

I've been waiting for this kart to make a return it's easily the best kart you own 😀

[@franksanford3425]

Another great vid guys..

[@zacksmith8567]

Wow that nostalgia tho...

[@sykwookiee]

Ok John...it's deep purple...also one of the most badass rock bands, EVER! Shit, I'm old....why did Ike cross the road? Cuz his hand was wrapped around the neck of the chicken! Have fun with It! L8ah...ďà wòöķįęè

[@robertcarron9665]

Red Beard is building a 200cc shifter at the same time. Lets see a C&C vs RBG coming up!!!

[@sheldonhall4572]

I would deffinately suggest getting it completely sand blasted and powdercoated to make it last longer as well as to inspect the frames for cracking.

[@vealhead]

You guys. Are great.

[@TopAnimeGuy]

John is on point with what Isaac had there. Its a measuring stick for volume. We have something similar for measuring out mixtures of resins or 2 part epoxy paint were I work. That said after you do it two or three times you can just wing it and get pretty darn close without it.

[@Steven-h33]

Love your videos and your trips to tractor supply lol is that in Greenville NC I lived there for 8 years then moved to California

[@shaunsparrow87]

The "measuring stick thing " you guys found is for mixing 2 pack paints. You use it to measure how much hardener and reducer to add to the paint.

[@larryalexander4833]

Laid up in bed with flue at least I can watch you guys build

[@dream2sea]

Feel better, drink fluids, and def don't die!
