I hope you all enjoy this episode on Memorial Day. My grandfather was in the service, WWII. Wish I could have known him better. Let's take a minute to be appreciative of those that have served this fine country 🇺🇸

[@johnnyrocket6588]

My poppop served in WW2 as well and my grandpa on my fathers side served in Vietnam.

[@IngenTechNational]

My great(3x) grandaddy served for the Confederates in the Civil War! But he didn't die just a fun fact:)

[@kurtbreiner1197]

My great great grandfather was in WW1 and on my moms said they were all in the army same as my mom

[@martinmcdoniel4551]

my father served in VietNam so this day is a good day for me hes still here gonna go mow his lawn today and hang out with him!

[@wingusthedingus7203]

Oh yeah

[@JJ--CAR]

My favorite part of the vid was a quote....." why ride tomorrow when you can ride today" Thanks for another fun video

[@koreywilliams4570]

Because its raining outside 😕 has been like all month. I just about got my carburetor figured out and I'm hitting 35 mph.

[@waateb5262]

I thought the title "Rivival + RIP" meant that you brought it back then immediately destroyed it again lmao

[@jojo_is_a_go5893]

I thought the same damn thing. Hahaha

[@davidowen888]

Me too 😅

[@CarsandCameras]

It's back and ready to rip... for now!

[@johnnyrocket6588]

Take that thing to a track.

[@seb2208]

Yay

[@harethhameed4775]

Now make an airplane

[@dicksandballsnshit3856]

Split that shifter up with some linkages - that's too much leverage and weight flapping around off that little shifter shaft.

[@frijoli9579]

Agree 100%

[@BobbyOfEarth]

Yea, find the linkage at the wreckers ..the "rear sets" off an older 600R or 1000R have great rod ends and adjustable shafts. ..should do nicely.

[@todorow22]

Ya. Linkages are heavy. modified the stock shift arm so it can be pulled up/down with cables. The you can mount a shifter anywhere, use springs to keep the shifter centered and you can make sure there is never any pressure on the shifter arm. They are tight for room, so do what they did in the 30s put it on the outside of your right side and cage around it.

[@blkicemike4857]

Yee ! yee! 😁

[@justinswanson7582]

You guys can call it a transmission. It's transmitting power from the engine to the driveline. If people are giving you grief about something like that they need to take a new look at life and relax a little! Keep up the awesome videos!

[@frankenpickle1923]

I’ve been watching cars and cameras for pretty long time. I’m gonna say that this is my favorite episode so far. I know it’s a while ago but I bounce around between videos When I can. You guys have always been great. But seeing the intern drive the car how respectful he was about it. And how the two of you were standing there not knowing what to expect but letting it happen. It appeared to me to be three generations of builders in the making. One very experience builder who’s always exciting to watch in Isaac, John who is such an amazing mechanic builder much more but always looking to learn more, and then to see the intern just seeming to be excited to be there included and eyes wide open to possibility. Not to mention seeing this trophy 🏆 truck built from an idea?!!!! Great channel follow them everywhere. Good luck all blessings

[@brandona1370]

Gentlemen, You've done a fine job with putting together these karts, each one unique and fun! I absolutely love your creativity! Your channel is called Cars And Cameras, may I suggest its time to build something even closer to a full size vehicle, a car, like a bigger badder trophy truck that you can confidently beat on? I like where John's head is at with building something you can dump the clutch on. I am not, however, suggesting a transition away from karts. You gentlemen have the skills, resources, and ambition to do it big. You have successfully built a spectrum of vehicles; keep pushing that final boundary!

[@wouterveidhuis8653]

tbh idk if that would go well looking at this so called mini throphy truck....

[@donellmuniz590]

Ike, make a linkage on the shift "stem", and hook up a ratchet shifter with a CABLE. You got tons of hot rod parts in your shop.

[@MatthewBerginGarage]

You need to replace the U-joint at the rear-end with a CV joint. It will solve the drive issues and allow for more rear suspension travel. U-joints only work in pairs over small and, more importantly, equal angles. That is why they use CV joints for wheels that steer.

[@IngenTechNational]

LMAO "The Cheapest bmw part I could find"😂

[@fullsendsornosends1176]

What about an oil change 😂😂

[@michaelleblanc3363]

What about transmission fluid?

[@IngenTechNational]

@@michaelleblanc3363 What about a window motor!

[@FJ80Coop]

Lowering the front shocks upper mounting locations by a few inches will help with that excessive camber and caster angles caused by the bottomed out suspension ride height...pkus make the kart more manageable handling wise with less input required to control it..then adjust the toe to just barely toe out...

[@jeffm8262]

I was just going thorough the 1000cc BMW Tropy Truck episodes when you posted this new one. I love all your content. Please keep em coming.

[@grekygrek]

I just gotta say...idk what it is about you guys but y'all are awesome. And i love ya John....but for some reason Ike is one of my favorite people on the planet lol.

[@jeffmason7735]

Have you thought about trying to use a PTO cable for your shifter? They are setup for pushing and pulling. This should eliminate the majority of the linkage slop and allow you tighten up your shifter significantly. The project is looking very nice. I hope this helps.

[@Gunbudder]

This kart is almost exactly the kart i've been designing for a while. seeing your drive yours around makes me want to blow all my savings and start building my own...

[@glenpiro313]

Man that thing reminds me of a mini Chenowth FAV from the late 80s ish!!! Awesome. For what its worth, in the world of shifter linkages or linkage ideas/sources, Ive used a three piece bicycle crank and bottom bracket assembly with much success in a couple applications. The crank arms are usually high quality aluminum, and super strong, so welding/machining/tapping etc is easy. You can usually index them from the standard 180 degrees to a, ahhhhh, custom angle pretty easy. They are very smooth due to ball bearings, and depending on how you cut the frame and the frame material, your mounting options are basically infinite. Much leverage can be obtained if needed by lengthening one arm etc. Of course, having a supply of trashed bicycles helps! I would think a one piece crank could be used as well, I just havent tried it. Just an idea, keep up the awesome content!

[@Hamsteren91]

Favorite build. An alignment and some more caster would do it good.

[@jordan-leemcneil7250]

I love the trophy truck..its my favourite. I'm all the way in Africa in a country named Botswana.

[@jordan-leemcneil7250]

I totally agree

[@rdill6371]

Awesome! Glad it's back!!

[@yaboylexwhitmore9157]

I was so ready for the trophy cart to be back love this video

[@AndToTheRepublic4WhichItStands]

That 2000s era 2 liter of coke at 2:03 tho... Lol brings back memories.

[@donellmuniz590]

You could make a foot shifter, right next to the gas pedal. It's good to lift off the gas to shift anyway.

[@wrenchandrip]

Please get some actual shocks for that thing! Those helper springs have really light spring rates, but the dampening is set up for the full weight of a pickup truck.

[@tonybrabender5907]

Love that rig great video!!

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Lift it a few inches up front when you fit the better shocks, too, and I think you got it guys! The engine/trans/gearing ratio seems really Trophy Truck-like. That's awesome! When you hit it, it goes RIGHT NOW! With a lifted front end, it will behave much more like a trophy truck. I would still love to see some mini trophy truck body work on it, after you upgrade the shocks/suspension.... 😉

[@malachiudd317]

That really goes! You should get some flatter shaped tires that aren't so rounded on top to get more traction, stop it from rolling so easy, and make it look cooler.

[@CMBProjects]

That paint is awesome!

[@moonburn87]

glad you guys are upgrading your channel/shop/other stuff things and stuff!

[@metalmyke1]

I think you guys should put KC lights on top. That way you can drive it at night.

[@jamesglenn2006]

There was a point when Ike was testing at full rip. I swore I was watching The Munsters, he was just ripping, hanging on and steering. 🤣 Probably just me but so funny. That thing definitely has some jam👍

[@paulcondie2520]

Best way to describe the trophy cart, that thing is badass!

[@hunterchilds4847]

I love the classic coke logo!!! All the 90s soda bottles where DOPE!!!!!!!

[@draggonhedd]

I really feel like you guys sholud take the time and make a proper linkage shifter for this thing so you can confidently power shift it. They do NOT like unsure shifts or that much weight on the shift shaft and may have had something to do with the failure of the last one.

[@isickofit]

And in stock set up it's a fairly long lift when shifting. They like a smooth change.

[@Dug159]

You boys are proper amusing, cheers from dowunder 👍

[@winstoncryer7606]

Right on brothers that was pretty clever clutch then break

[@Gunzo1999]

His face when he clutch dumps is me everyday 😂😂

[@drakrazerclaw5146]

That thing is sick, and I know you guys are going to make it even better. Would be expensive but have you heard the V4 in the Motus motorcycle, it's designed after the LS V8 and sounds like..."DAMN..."

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

This Old Man always looking for your videos. Love what you are doing. 🛵😎💝💝

[@jamierushing8811]

Hi y’all from west Alabama love y’all show

[@MotoShihan]

Love the biopsy shift level!

[@cro-thehacker7018]

Ayee, was ready for this!!!!

[@justinyates1154]

The throw on that shifter is nearly that of an 18 wheeler

[@Redbull0527]

Heck yeah guys at you'll have an awesome Memorial Day enjoyed the video

[@jayg9538]

Love this build!

[@85superchris]

Do a Chevy 350 kart. Or an LS kart. Maybe on a lawn tractor frame so you can use the body panels and have a V8 lawn mower kart. Not all high up but lower it and stretch it. Just throwing out ideas. Here's the kicker make it still able to mow and give it to pops to mow the house with. See if he's annoyed with the speed or if he gets it done in record time.

[@georgemueh3273]

Gotta love the TK.... Hey I may have missed this part of the build but..... how about a hand clutch on the shifter???? It'll be fine.

[@bassbuggy101]

This needs to go to the drag strip!!

[@CDOGG500]

Got to give you guys credit you absolutely rip your stuff!! Its funny to see someone else drive your builds

[@acurarl9929]

Absolutely awesome vid guys. Also Unless your on pavement then you’ll nvr ever ever be able to load your “Cush drive” like it would in a bike on the road. Bike weighs 600-800 lbs maybe more plus 2 riders at 350lbs on pavement giving it all the torc it has. You’ll not be able to replicate that kind of load seeing you’ll nvr have full traction like the bike would. If you put slicks on it and can launch with enough traction to lift front tires and able to bang gears with front tires in air then you’ll be replicating the load as it was in a bike with 2 riders on it. Your good guys in history of bike engine on go cart the engine has nvr ever been the weak link. Unless you start with a sloppy output sprocket.

[@koryjoubert2603]

Transmission woke up and chose violence 😂

[@vapecatt]

If you need to engine/trans swap it, two different drive shaft driven motorcycle engines that I can think of are a cx500, or a Honda goldwing. Other wise it's a fantastic build

[@Gunbudder]

Your intern looks EXACTLY like Josh The Snake lol

[@livinginavandownbytheriver2349]

Those are some FREEDOM shorts for sure.

[@johnbeck3270]

I think the trophy kart would be a blast in sand. Paddle rear tires and “sand rudder” tires on the front.

[@kennethdispain1807]

Sweet man

[@ronniecanon1203]

I know the halo on the cage is like that for ease of getting in but it is not safe. With the speed and weight of the kart. If it rolled the cage will fold in on your head and hurt you bad. Needs to have a x in the top to keep the corners from folding in.

[@butchs.4239]

There's in car video from a recent Legends car crash where the front of the roll cage folded down around the steering wheel trapping the driver in the car. He was extremely lucky in a number of ways, and being on track had the benefit of having rescue personnel on scene pretty much immediately. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKC4cpuAftaqes0 Watch that and imagine what would happen if the trophy truck rolled at the far end of the C&C gran prix circuit and sustained similar damage.

[@ronniecanon1203]

@@butchs.4239 that is what I was talking about. I saw the video your are talking about. I raced modifieds and witnessed it happen with them also.

[@davidowen888]

[@davidprice9135]

You guys are the only ones to pull off a dashboard shifter ala Covrair.

[@cryptictoast4984]

Hey carsandcameras been a huge fan of the channel for a long time and I was thinking that it would be a cool idea if you guys built two little mini mower go karts or drag racers just to see what you guys could do with something like that with the size of a mini mower and what you could put in it to make it go super fast just an idea thought it would be something cool to do.

[@reviewaccount469]

I would have put shifter below your right hand next to the seat. Looks like plenty of room, and you could keep your hand on it while driving. For that to work though, you'd need quicker ratio steering you could do with one hand. Now that I've watched you drive it, I suppose it doesn't much matter where the shifter is because you need both hands to steer it.

[@cali_dinero5685]

I would love to bring my toys out with you guys, I could learn a lot from the both of u. I definitely enjoy all your vids💪🏾💪🏾

[@MrCiO0011]

Hi guys! So for europe guys "transmission" is a system which transfer power from the engine to the wheels or another assembly. The gear box is the same thing but it has more than one selectable gears 😉

[@gregadams558]

"I'm quality control" LOL

[@shaymeasor3133]

I feel like it's very low would look good with long travel suspension

[@zackflatford6233]

boys i think if you raise the front a bit you camber problem will disappear...kind of got that drag car look to it ..love the vid one lucky intern

[@f5garage401]

Trophy trucks are capable of taking large jumps easily. Jump this freaking thing. Send it, bend it, mend it!

Dip a zip tie into the transmission fill hole it should give you a good idea about the fuild level.

At 8:43 John says transmission after calling it a gearbox all day.

[@EJ-74]

That thing is awesome I would definitely get hurt on that thing but I'd have fun doing it lol

[@southerngamer3146]

I think it would be awesome to make one of these but a two seater. And instead of dealing with the complicated engine ya'll are dealing with, use like an old Ford inline 6 with a regular standard transmission. Maybe not making incredible power, but it's gonna be reliable, and sound amazing. Could possible add in 4x4. Who knows?

[@diggerspeedshop80]

What a ripper!!

[@Nickwillfixit]

Yep one or two degrees of camber max and two degrees of toe in would make it handle sharper, and boys that thing is fast so add a three or five point harness, remember that the upper belts should be more or less straight back so an extra bar will need to be welded in in front of the gas tank don't get the ones that need eyes welded to the frame, better as the eyes could pull off in a hard impact, and maybe window nets to keep your arms in when it roll's over, and an emergency cut off would be good.

[@Ed-tv2bx]

Y'all should build a buggy and throw an NA EJ in it for AWD! Keep up the great work, love the content!

[@Zesicon]

Definitely looks like it could use some more weight over the rear axle, but it rips!
