450cc Go Kart on the track.

Spinning some laps with my yamaha yfz450 powered 2008 Paul Tracy shifter kart. It's ridiculously fast and a serious rush to drive. Camera shuts off so I didn't get the last part of the session. I wasn't wearing gloves, get over it!! Maybe the 2nd time I drove it on a sprint track. It's been years, maybe I didn't have any can't remember. No it's not sped up, you wanna race bring $

[@patrafferty3512]

I drove Formula Atlantic and Trans-Am for years---and am quite impressed with your driving skill. Keep it up----have fun :-)

[@danmurphy1994]

that's amazing, I wonder if I'd be fast enough to race in any pro league.. I did kart racing as a kid and I was usually the fastest. However as an adult I find myself either too broke or too clueless to know which platform would provide me with the greatest opportunity as a racer. I live in saint paul minnesota. now I'm gonna watch formula atlantic to see what the hell that must have been like.. never watched it before.. You have my utmost respect having been a pro that said! thanks for sharing Pat

[@speedracer3967]

Excellent combination of track knowledge, and kart capability. The passes were nicely executed, and at the same time knowing when and where to pass safely when encountering lap traffic. Nice driving sir!

[@iceangel9006]

4 stroke??? Awesome!!! Nice driving!! Also these double s on this track,beautiful!!!!

[@Dinkymod]

That fucking go kart is fucking fast.

[@Racepilot_jessy]

Can u imagine there are 600cc? Even 150cc more than this one

[@bob8086]

i enjoy watching you fly by the other "racers" very satisfying

[@ClipSwitchFlashlights]

Well driven sir. That thing is mighty quick.

[@PernicekMotorsport_]

Man, sounds beautiful! Awesome run!

[@ericbraun4652]

So nice to have a 4 stroke in a kart for so many reasons. What fun!

[@mmtruthseeker5263]

Ridiculous! Torque is well suited for a Cart! Bravo!

[@chefgiovanni]

Awesome driving. You got big nuts.

[@alpha-9639]

The driver knows how to drive fr that's some good shit right there🏁🏆

[@joy6086]

The cart is fast, but you just having fun. thx for posting.

[@oliverandrew626]

this kart has a yfz450 engine, and sick driving. i have a dd2 rotax

[@suavehouse5150]

dirtbike mania Miss my dd2 push start button, no clutch, with a reverse that's winning! Lol

[@oliverandrew626]

David P12 there so fast!!! but it goes through so much tyres!!

[@clarkracing6514]

the dd2 on a small track is awesome I have one and a Kz2 + a R3 shifter kart but the dd2 is so much quicker around a small track great kart.

[@jeenyussnow101]

G FORCE WAZZUPPPP 💪💪💪 amazing thing you drive there and good driving I enjoyed

[@Kevin_Yagoonie]

looks like a blast!

[@deadpool_evil6021]

i cant stop watching this vidieo keep it man

[@boosterseat740]

Dude i really love the intro of your video it's casual

[@Wayne_Robinson]

Woo hoo! Those were some fun laps.

[@christiansantiago3007]

Looks like a grin producer. Hell of a machine.

[@flyinghorsepolowski4205]

Holy shit man that things fast

[@Track1recordschannel]

This is a really cool video. I always wanted to build my own

[@alanmotoscba]

those 2t are very fast too.! nice video mate

[@alexberriman4302]

from the glimpses at the valve cover my guess is that that was a Yamaha wr or yz 450 motor that had been squeezed into that cart frame, sweet power to weight ratio!

[@raudib6737]

Alex Berriman aren't you smart only says it in the description

[@mxer4life25]

Tyler Abell some people don't check the description. Hell I forget there even is one because I never open it up to read it lol

[@DR-br5gb]

must have been those super sweet sunglasses that helped you spot that!

[@brianonthego]

Very cool. Great driving.

[@haydencollins6761]

That thing hauls the mail!!!! Badass!!

[@guilianocipria5218]

Good driving lines for a big heavy boat

[@ZeldaACFan17]

A 450cc 4-stroke Shifter kart? Nice!

[@Dr_Xyzt]

Damn, that thing is badass!

[@bruced5587]

Looks like a blast!!!

[@rogerw3818]

Geez Louise, that looks like fun.

[@DeathRacer-yl2hx]

Looks awesome man, does that monster have a clutch? Once you warmed them tyres up mate you were in the grove. Awesome to watch and even see the respect shown to the other drivers into corners.

[@alexanderharris2035]

That is awesome Man thanks for the info!

[@ceetwarrior]

So sick!

[@houseoffire72]

Looks like a butt ton of fun..!

[@eye2985]

DUDEEE THAT TRACK IS SICK WEVE RACED THERE BEFORE😎😎😎

[@johnnymiller1868]

i must compliment, this person clearly has a hell of a driving line, but what i found that impressed me more than anything - the fact that this person had so many chances, to where he could have gone for it , but it would have really caused alot of drama on the track (running off other races off the track and into the dirt or even worse... the wall! it but that means bumpin the inside races out or spining your own self out by being selfish and stupid , greedy and all three of those things dont apply to this guy. had just about the fastest car on the track and just passed by everyone with a smile, leaving em with a surprised look . i would like to know how big the very last packs engines were. they were pretty good , even with their slower karts

[@Dariuskhashabi]

Johnny Miller thanks Johnny. If it was a race I would have for sure passed them way before that. Kart racing is very aggressive. I raced for a couple years, they bump the shit out of you!

[@2K8Si]

Agreed. Great driving line, nice linear steering (no frantic back and forth corrections), and MANY times hanging out the rear end with no drama. All while showing some respectful restraint. He only went to pass when it was clearly safe. This guy has obviously spent some time on a race track. Awesome video!! Make MORE with this kart!

[@Driftuner]

I have a question: how does the clutch work on these? By experience i know a YZ has a clutch obviously, are these centrifugal clutches? Nice vid bro!

[@jaywerne3812]

This is the best onboard shifter experience on youtube

[@427Cabriolet]

I Like how while most go kart in the track is 50cc,65cc,85cc,125cc 2 stroke engine This man come up with 450cc that almost make 50hp

[@Dariuskhashabi]

They were all 125's. My buddy just built one that makes over 50hp. I should build my 450 kart motor

[@harrypeterson9287]

Some 450s nowadays are making over 60hp!

[@michaelwhite6110]

He smiles the entire time! Lol

[@Maccaroney]

Jesus Christ.

[@aaronisgrate]

stupid fast. cant beat the torque of a 450. i have no doubts that kart would hang with nearly any car at any short course.

[@nielsreiziger4850]

450's are great easily 53hp+, got a 13' KX450F the torque is insane

[@EricFB]

On a short course it would eat them up.

[@trevorodom1930]

I think smoke a car the power to weight is insane on these

[@adrian.vermeulen1670]

wow that's a fast kart 👍

[@bssignorful]

looking good out there.

[@krazor8]

Might as well go for the kill and straight a 600cc ninja motor on it...

[@EnglertRacing96]

that would have to sit behind the driver making a stupid long wheelbase kart that wouldn't come close to the lap times a standard setup runs.

[@paulcookson4674]

Fast and well driven.

[@3346501]

looks like s blast !!!

[@CyberMacGyver]

Power to Weight ratio is INSANE 😨

[@DiegoAlvarez-yo4lc]

You overtake the ones who are overtaking. This is nuts

[@edgarcoloncruz99]

Good ass driving!!👍👍💪💪

[@djmiller5563]

Great driving and speed. Very nice. Although, I can't help but comment on your layout; Your "flat-bottom" steering wheel is a little off, and I bet you could increase your lap times if you installed paddle shifter's rather than that "lever action thingy".

[@zacharyabdollahi7760]

Awesome, you should race that thing

[@Boemel]

I need this in my life. Now i'm always thinking of buying something fun, either a beater car, a small motorcycle or fix a junk cart with a silly engine.

[@TheMinesRescue]

Awesome bit of kit but should have gloves on, karts can go over and other flying debris not to mention bees/wasps etc, again top machine.

[@ILLUDIUM_Q_36]

Damn no gloves ?

[@pvanb291]

Yeah, I agree! I was racing a Suzuki RM250 grass kart a while back. We weren't allowed on the track without gloves - even for a practice session. On a tarmac track, I wouldn't even get in the kart until I had gloves on!!

[@Dariuskhashabi]

If you really crash a kart gloves are the least of your worries. You flip and break your collar bone, or neck! \

[@pvanb291]

Crashes can happen in slow parts of the track too, where you won't break things. You may come out and have your hands scrape on the track, or burnt on a hot exhaust - both of which are a lot less painful if you're wearing gloves!! It's just a no-brainer - always wear gloves and helmet!

[@agamer334]

Darius khashabi that's no excuse to put on a pair of gloves

[@tannerVBHC]

loll fuck gloves

[@debeukeboom5671]

Dang that thing rips

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Christ that looks fast

[@seanstacy9557]

On a real note, which do you guys think is better: 250cc engine or 125cc? I've had both and only had a 125cc on a Kart though. I personally like the more usable power of the 4 strokes, I think the torque is very helpful especially when cornering.

[@Dariuskhashabi]

I believe they only race 250's. The added weight of the 450 definitely affects the handling. My motor was mostly stock. A modded 250 would be faster imho. Even the best of the best 125's would probably be faster, but I doubt funner.

[@jzero32]

Most of the tracks we run - New Castle Indiana, Millville N.J. , Englishtown N.J. won't let you run a 450 on them. Damn that is cool.

[@Kidzspeed]

Hey, I have been to those tracks too! Oakland Valley Race Park is my home track. Ever been there or to GoPro Motorplex?

[@AndreiLomov]

Nice video.

[@jasonbell1950]

To those who say this is sped up, no it's not. I've ran this track many times and have had Darius pass my in that beast numerous times at Laguna Seca back when they first let the karts get on track there. It was kind of funny to be doing 100+mph and have this wicked 4-stroke come blasting by my stock moto CR125 like I was sitting still! Good times.

[@andycliffordkarting]

Jason Bell people will always question awesome things 😉😅 We race these in NZ and can back you up here! 125, 250, 450 or 500... they are all fast as hell in a shifter!

[@sharpjm85]

You can tell just by how quickly he gets into the seat at the beginning that it is sped up. Watch the video at 75% speed for realtime.

[@Dariuskhashabi]

does that tin foil hat make your head hot?

[@TheBlackopsbeast360]

vggvvggjjh the engine note sounds correct for a YZ450 engine....

[@derekbest9703]

1:45 its def sped up in some places lol. Why defend it? Its still cool none the less..

[@haddimoto]

fast! :P

[@slon9120]

that things a monster

[@granhalife9927]

very very fast!!! Very very Funnn.

[@trevorodom1930]

It’s one thing to have a 125 engine in these but a 450 holy sh!t

[@foufoufun]

How does the stick shift work? Is there a clutch?

[@naomialkowari4887]

That go cart looks amazing would have some fun with that ..police wouldn't have a chance catching me...ha ha ha wayne.c.scotland

[@stevesimon460]

I have a shifter cart with a 2005 crf450 motor with a 523 big bore on

[@owen388]

NIce Video you have a good camera angle. What frame are you using on the cart?

[@Dariuskhashabi]

Awesome RC 2008 paul Tracy

[@dylanhammett4583]

Let me pick your brain a little bit I'm building a cart with a yz426f Yamaha motor what gears are you running there's 14 teeth on the motor and axle came with 28 teeth but I have to get a sprocket 520 for the axle any recommendation

[@waawaaweewaa2045]

Such a sick track where is this?

[@romainhebre]

What is the goal of the handle on the left behind the steering wheel ?

[@remisimard7760]

Pretty similar to a FSAE car. They are often 450cc or 600cc engines, or electric

[@jakedragsknee]

Do those things eat tires pretty quick. Those little things are just getting hammered 😂

[@Xcrf150fX]

do you really have to build your own? i can never find any with dirt bike engines

[@PaulsPlace]

Z06 of go-carts!

[@armenvegas]

I've got a dd2, love the power on it, then got a honda 125 6 speed love that.... how the 450 compare? Lol

[@ladyaurora8434]

Does the kart have a clutch since it’s a dirt bike motor?

[@David-ki1wr]

Mad!

[@staticcorvette5998]

Who's the handling on that thing? I'm sure that engine must throw the weight balance quite a bit

[@darringoodbrand6603]

Thought that the 250cc 2stroke carts would give this 450cc 4stroke a good dam race

[@xAlienWarfareGamingx]

I really need to get one of these. Either that or buy one without a motor and swap the motor from my gsxr 750

[@mw10259]

I WANT THAT GO KART

[@paginini]

Does it feel super fast? Does it push u back?

[@richarddevaottien7724]

A Yamaha quad Raptor700 might be good in a kart ?

[@NickKautz]

Moooovin'

[@mrcool4196]

How u got it to press start with a 2008 motor

[@jb5music]

I remember when I was a kid and there were McCullough go-carts that then gave way to Yamaha 100s... I thought how stupid little one speed 100s with no transmissions... why don't they use motorcycle engines with transmissions? Anyways, grew up and didn't really follow go-carting for many decades but just glanced at these videos decades later... hey.. go-carts with motorcycle engines with transmissions. What a great idea. Who thought of that?

[@ildxnnyli5541]

For the first little bit sounds like my honda big red 300 when the exhaust is off haha

[@rullanaattori192]

Holy shit that torgue 😅

[@Strakos0]

Whoah, mister, is this faster than a KZ2 KART??! It looks like that! Ah. So smooth racing piece. What should be the average price for buying? Any troubles with kart? I am so curious because I wonder what it takes to become a kart racing driver..ah. Why there is just no possibility to rent and try. Or to make a "public", free qualifications...

[@alejandrogarciacalza]

nice suspension

[@Farus2007]

Wow!

[@SSpecialDelivery]

Curious about what you did for engine mounts... Custom or purchased some

[@Dariuskhashabi]

custom welded

[@jaggerdfletcher1618]

I want this vid to last forever 😁😂

[@frankyalvarez7160]

the video should be named " if sonic drove a go-cart"

[@hilltoprestoration]

Have forearm pump pain just from watching him hold that wheel.

[@michaelgrossman5528]

how much where can i get one nice driving too

[@E46TY]

Ayyyyeeee thats sonoma i drift there!

[@porousorificePilot]

Nice.
